Pat Toomey should vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson, writes Doris Pechkurow, a retired Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge. 'Either way, Toomey’s vote will be recorded in history as part of his legacy.'
Will Sen. Pat Toomey vote to confirm the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court? If so, it would assure Black women and girls in Pennsylvania that when their accomplishments and qualifications are outstanding, as are Judge Jackson’s, their aspirations will not be curtailed because of race or gender.
They accused her of being soft on criminals, particularly child pornographers, when she deviated from sentencing guidelines , or failed to blindly adopt prosecutors’ recommendations for sentences. She was then questioned about whether critical race theory influenced her sentencing — an absurd question to which any judge or lawyer who had ever been in a criminal courtroom would have said, “What?”
All the while sitting before them was an intelligent, accomplished, respectful, competent, considerate Black woman, who happens to be a judge, and who was wholly undeserving of such demeaning disrespect and false accusations. In 2018, Sen. Toomey voted for Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, despite the credible accusations of sexual assault against him, and his disrespectful demeanor during his hearings., the senator said it was clear to him that Judge Kavanaugh had the “character, intellect, experience, and judicial philosophy to be an outstanding Supreme Court justice.”
