>> THIS ZEALOUS ADVOCACY HAS
GONE BEYOND THE PALE.
>> THAT'S SOME OF THE ATTACKS
THAT WILL HEAT UP FURTHER
TOMORROW.
WE HAVE TWO SPECIAL GUESTS WITH
ME ON SET IN WASHINGTON, FORMER
RNC CHAIR MICHAEL STEELE AND
BARBARA ARNE
BARBARA ARNWINE.
>> SHE'S EXCITED.
>> I GO TO YOU FIRST BECAUSE
THAT WAS NOT JUST LAW BUT A LOT
OF POLL TUX.ITICS.
AND THE ARGUMENTS SEEM TO BE
THIS JUDGE FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED
REASON LOVES CRIMINALS AND WANTS
TO MAKE SURE THEY GET OUT OF
PRISON RIGHT AWAY SO THEY CAN
KEEP COMMITTING CRIMES.
IT'S THE ONGOING TROPE INSIDE
THE GOP AND YOU PUT INTO CONTEXT
THE OWNERSHIP OF ISSUES AROUND
LAW AND ORDER.
YOU SAW THE REFERENCE TO COVID
AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
LOOK, THE REALITY OF IT IS THERE
IS NO HOOK TO HANG A HAT ON WHEN
IT COMES TO THIS PARTICULAR
JUDGE.
SHE IS PROBABLY THE MOST
QUALIFIED FOR THIS POSITION OF
ANY JUDGE THAT'S BEEN PUT BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE IN A GENERATION.
SERIOUSLY.
WHEN YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT HER
RECORD AND YOU CONSIDER THE
DIVERSE NATURE OF THAT RECORD AS
A PUBLIC DEFENDER, AS A JUDGE,
AS AN ADVOCATE, SHE BRINGS
QUALITIES THAT THE COURT NEEDS
IN WHAT IS A GROWING DIVERSE
POPULATION OF CITIZENS.
SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
HOW THEY GET POSITIONED ON THIS.
YOU SAW THE RUN UP TO THAT
TODAY, AS YOU'VE NOTED AND
DISCUSSED A LITTLE EARLIER.
THE REALITY OF IT IS VERY LITTLE
OF IT WILL STICK BECAUSE WHEN
YOU START SAYING THAT SHE WANTED TO LET, YOU KNOW, PORN PEOPLE
TO LET, YOU KNOW, PORN PEOPLE
OFF, YOU KNOW, CHILD PORNIMPORTA
OG RA
PORNOGRAPHERS.
>> LET'S LOOK AT SENATOR HAWLEY
ON THAT ISSUE AMONG OTHERS.
>> A FEW THINGS THAT I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT, ASPECTS OF YOUR
RECORD THAT TROUBLE ME.
SEVEN CASES THAT REPRESENT AS
NEAR AS WE CAN TELL ALL OF JUDGE
JACKSON'S CASES DEALING WITH
CHILD PORNOGRAPHY FROM HER TIME
ON THE DISTRICT COURT.
THE DEFENDANT POSSESSED DOZENS
OF IMAGES OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
THE PROSECUTOR RECOMMENDED 72
MONTHS AND JUDGE JACKSON GAVE
THE DEFENDANT 60 MONTHS, THE
LOWEST SENTENCE ALLOWED BY THE
LAW.
>> EACH CASE HAS ITS OWN
DETAILS.
THE FACT CHECKERS DISAGREE.
THE A.P. SAID THOSE NEW CLAIMS
DON'T STAND UP TO SCRUTINY.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" CAME
THROUGH WITH A THREE PINOCCHIO
RATING FOR TAKING QUOTES OUT OF
CONTEXT AND IGNORING HOW SOME OF
THOSE SENTENCING GUIDELINES HAD
BEEN UPDATED.
BARBARA.
>> I THOUGHT HAWLEY, BLACKBURN,
THEY ALL APPEARED TO BE
DESPERATE.
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO PETTY
WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM CRYING ABOUT
MICHELLE CHILES.
I'M LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS?
IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO
WITH YOUR TIME TODAY IN.
>> WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO
SENATOR GRAHAM, I WAS THERE
TODAY AND I THOUGHT HE WAS THERE
FOR A HEARING FOR A DIFFERENT
NOMINEE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> AND RETREADING BRENT
KAVANAUGH.
THE DIFFERENCE IS NOBODY'S MADE
ANY ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT OR MISCONDUCT AGAINST
HER.
COME ON.
YOU KNOW, THEY CAN'T -- IF YOU
HAVE A RECORD OF 572 DECISIONS
AND THE BEST THEY CAN COME UP
WITH IS THIS NONSENSE, THIS
OUT-OF-CONTEXT, STRETCHED -- I
ALMOST CALL IT NIXONIAN, GOING
BACK TO NIXON, ARGUMENTS ABOUT
SOFT ON CRIME.
IF THIS IS THE BEST THEY CAN DO,
THEY'RE DESPERATE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO RESONATE.
WHAT I REALLY WAS MOVED BY AND I
KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE
WHO WATCHED TODAY HAD THE SAME
REACTION IS HOW TRANSCENDENT HER
NOMINATION IS, HOW MANY WOMEN
HAD THEIR HEARTS BEATING.
HOW MANY SENATORS TALKED ABOUT
