Manchin: GOP treatment of Jackson 'disgraceful,' 'embarrassing'
By Alexander Bolton - 03/29/22 10:59 AM EDT

Centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said the way Republican senators treated Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson at last week’s hearings was “disgraceful” and “embarrassing” after they repeatedly brought up her record of sentencing child pornography offenders. 

Manchin said the behavior of GOP colleagues who repeatedly cut off Jackson while she tried to answer their questions about her sentencing decision crossed the line to become inappropriate. 

“It was disgraceful, it really was, what I saw. And I met with her and I read all the transcripts. I listened to basically the hearings and it just was embarrassing,” he told reporters Tuesday morning.

“It’s not who we are. It’s not what we were sent here to do, to attack other people and just try to tear them down. I won’t be part of that. I think she’s extremely well qualified and I think she’ll be an exemplary judge,” he added. 

Manchin’s comments appeared to refer to the aggressive treatment of Jackson by Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, including Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Josh Hawley (Mo.), who are both angling for potential White House bids in 2024.

Cruz and Hawley will continue to be targets, after all they were the ones that raised objections before Pence certified the votes.

Bullsh*t Manchin.  Compared to the way that the democrats have treated republican nominees since at least Robert Bork, this was an emininently graceful, respectful treatment.

Suck it up, buttercup.

She's grossly unqualified to be ruling on the Constitutionality of anything.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

She can't/won't answer any direct questions. She is incapable of making any decisions. Her only qualifications are she's a woman and she's black. She is obviously unqualified to be a justice but she will push through the Democrat Communist Party agenda.

The White House omitted Judge Jackson’s sentence in a recent “grisly” child porn case from documents submitted to Senate Judiciary Committee.

White House omitted Jackson's light child porn sentence in document given to senators, GOP says:...
Republicans are asking why the case U.S. v. Cane was not included in materials provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee on sentencing recommendations last week.

I sense that this won't help Mr. Manchin at home.
But it certainly won't hurt him enough to imperil his chances at re-election.
