When asked whether they agreed with Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) point that Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson had imposed very lenient sentences on people possessing child pornography – prison terms far below the federal guidelines and what the prosecutors had requested -- several GOP senators said yes, and they were “very concerned” about a judge who was so soft on people who had committed such vile crimes.

At the Capitol on Wednesday, CNSNews.com asked some of the senators, “Sen. Hawley yesterday listed seven child-porn cases in which he thought Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson had given sentences that were too lenient. Do you agree?”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R- S.C.) said, “I’m not accusing her of being sympathetic to child pornography. I am very concerned that when it comes to sentencings and these cases, she does not use the fact that the perpetrator went online to get the images pulled down. I think she should.”

“I think there’s been an explosion of child pornography due to the internet and the computer systems,” he said. “She refuses to use that as a sentence enhancer, which I think puts her on the low end.”
