On Thursday, he called her an"evasive" witness and decried her record of not using two sentencing enhancement factors as a federal judge that he says would serve as a deterrent to the"explosion of child pornography on the internet.
"I find Judge Jackson to be a person of exceptionally good character, respected by her peers, and someone who has worked hard to achieve her current position," Graham said Thursday."However, her record is overwhelming in its lack of a steady judicial philosophy and a tendency to achieve outcomes in spite of what the law requires or common sense would dictate."
Graham was a vocal opponent of Jackson the instant Biden announced her as his nominee. Biden passed over Graham's pick – South Carolina district court Judge J. Michelle Childs – in favor of Jackson, who Graham dubbed"the favorite of the Radical Left."
