Graham ramps up tension with Jackson: ‘I think you’re doing it wrong’

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) sparked a lengthy and heated exchange with Supreme Court nominee Kentanji Brown Jackson that garnered grumblings from members of the audience and pushback from multiple Democrats on the committee.

 

Graham, who was one of the three GOP senators who supported Jackson last year for her influential appeals court seat, questioned her on Wednesday about her sentencing in child porn cases — a key line of attack for Republicans on the committee.

 

“I think you’re doing it wrong. And every judge who is doing what you’re doing is making it easier for children to be exploited,” Graham told Jackson.
