*******************************************************************************
President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, admitted on a questionnaire for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that she had authored a paper criticizing the "excessiveness" of sex offenders' punishments, which she said could be "unfair and unnecessarily burdensome."
Jackson authored "Prevention Versus Punishment: Toward a Principled Distinction in the Restraint of Released Sex Offenders," which was published anonymously in 1996 by Harvard Law Review. She did not disclose her authorship until the Senate committee asked her to list published writings as part of her nomination.
She argued that "courts have been unable" to differentiate between "preventive" and "punitive" punishments for sex offenders, according to the note obtained by the American Accountability Foundation.
"[E]ven in the face of understandable public outrage over repeat sexual predators, a principled prevention/punishment analysis evaluates the effect of the challenged legislation in a manner that reinforces constitutional safeguards against unfair and unnecessarily burdensome legislative action," she wrote.
She noted that convicted sex offenders are subjected to "four major restraints upon release from prison or parole: registration, community notification, DNA testing, and civil commitment."
Her paper focuses heavily on critiquing "excessive" sex offender punishments.
Kunta Kinte loves sex offenders.
I suggest that there be no resistance to this swine. Push her right through, and follow her up with the appointment of every low IQ, anti-American Biden chooses to nominate. Ultimately, these people will weaken our corrupt systems leading to catastrophic collapse. We need collapse.
She may have a point.
When you stop recognizing sex offenses as aberrant psychological behavior and close all the asylums, then the only alternative is a “prison to mainstream” recovery track with unachievable non-recidivism expectations.
That applies to ALL psycho-sexual aberrations.
Is anyone surprised....? #ChoMoeJoe
She will never be a victim of a sex crime so it is nothing to her.
Makes sense.
Biden is a PERVERT and he picked her for protecting his perversions...
She is the Rubber Stamp for Gascon, Distric Attorney for LA. The Perp is the victim. The actual Victim does not matter (unless the victim is a POC and the perp is white)
No need for a burden on a specific class. If you hurt a child, death.
There. No burden. A 22cal in the back of the skull. Can still have an open casket for the family members to cry over — the ones that raised such a monster.
Your crime < that? OK. Start with public flogging. After that, parts are removed.
It’s not rocket science guys.
They’re just evil and want to diddle kids.
‘She argued that “courts have been unable” to differentiate between “preventive” and “punitive” punishments for sex offenders’
All punishments are, by definition, punitive. Looks like we’re dealing with a smoothbrain here.
Courts are set up to punish, not prevent.
Preventative measure are the community’s and society’s problem......................
Aaaaand, of course.
Democrats are always all about sexual perversion.
She also defended Gitmo detainees. But I noticed the media isn’t talking about that.
It's gonna be the next big thing now that victory's been achieved with homosexual marriage,men using the ladies' room,"transgender rights",etc.
BTTT
If our justice system would resume capital punishment on adult offenders who penetrate children under the age of puberty, we would have the budget going forward to make hairsplitting distinctions between offenders who could possibly be rehabilitated, as distinct from the rest, who need to be permanently incarcerated or on parole.
