At today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) pointed to a "really inappropriate" quote of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson concerning CRT and sentencing. We are going to show you some lines of this conversation, but if you want to know the complete info, do watch the video shown below this article.

Sen. Marsha said:

 I closed out last night with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson reading back to her some of her opening statements. You talk about preserving our form of government. You talk about preserving equal access, equal justice. There was a comment in judge Jackson's opening that I read back to her because she left out something very important. I'm going to read this too. I'd like your comment and I have been a judge for nearly a decade now and I take that responsibility and my duty to be independent very seriously. 

I decide cases from a neutral posture. I interpret and apply the law to the fact he of the case before me without fear or favor consistent with my judicial oath. I told her, there was a word missing from that, that I thought deserved more attention. That was it should have been there, that it should be consistent with the constitution because that should be where justice goes first. Is that not correct. 

 A senator replied and said: That's correct. I think largely because the constitution of course gives the federal government only limited enumerated powers, to be able to have a context, one needs to think about whether congress or the federal government is authorized to take the action.

Sen. Blackburn then commented and said: And where the text is false and the judge's role. You know, we had a very different time, never got her to nail down her judicial authority, philosophy. That concerned us. There's another thing. This is where she talked about C.R.T. In sentencing. This was from a 2015 speech. I felt like this was really inappropriate. I also tried to convince you that sentencing is just plain interesting, on an intellectual part, mess together law, criminal law, but also administrative law, constitutional law. Critical race theory. Is crystal race theory a type of law?

Then another senator replied to Blackburn by saying: 

Well senator Blackburn, I teach and none involve critical race theory (CRT). So, I would not be the best expert. As far as sentencing in that area, if important focus on the text law and congress if the federal level would have the largest role in terms of stabbing the range of appropriate sentences for a crime.
