Graham Takes Caustic Tone In Questioning

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson “got into a heated exchange after the senator revived a line of attack on the judge’s sentencing record in cases involving images of child sexual abuse,” the New York Times reports.

“The flashes of temper were particularly striking coming from a senator who voted less than a year ago to confirm Judge Jackson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Mr. Graham’s aggressive questioning of Judge Jackson over the past two days — which has included rapid-fire rhetorical questions, frequent interruptions and some lengthy, fiery lectures — suggested that he was unlikely to back her for the nation’s highest court.”
