WASHINGTON — By late afternoon on the third day of her U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearing, it appeared Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson had had enough.
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, continuing his line of questioning about Jackson’s sentencing decisions in seven cases involving child pornography offenders, was asking Jackson if she regretted the sentence she issued to a man who traveled across state lines to rape a 9-year-old girl.
“What I regret,” Jackson said, “is that in my hearing about my qualifications to be a justice on the Supreme Court, we have spent a lot of time focusing on this small subset of my cases.”
