Senator Josh Hawley questioned Judge Jackson regarding her history of handing down sentences below federal guidelines in child pornography cases. Mo argues that these clips were designed to brand Jackson as the "pedophile judge" in the court of public opinion. He suggests Jackson was poorly prepared for these specific "Pizza Playbook" attacks, which will likely haunt her legacy and the Democratic party.
Senator Ted Cruz questioned Judge Jackson on a note she wrote for the Harvard Law Review regarding the restraint of released sex offenders. In the note, Jackson argued that certain sex offender statutes, such as registration and DNA testing, should be viewed as "punitive" and therefore potentially unconstitutional. Cruz used this to frame Jackson as having a long-term "record of activism" on behalf of sexual predators.
