If you’ve been watching the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearings on Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, you’ve seen a whole lot of posturing. Along with that, you’ve seen a lot of discussion about morals. Jackson came under partisan fire for her work on the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz discussed criminal penalties, and why we don’t throw the book at anyone who commits such crimes! They should all be locked away! I want to say upfront that child pornography is a horror, and Congress needs to look at better ways to address the situation.
But for all the concern Republicans are showing now, I am stuck here wondering what the hell these people are going on about while child abuse and pornography infects their own party, and they do and say absolutely nothing. I think we have to go back and look at a bit of history to talk about this.
