JUDGE JACKSON WILL BE A RUBBER STAMP FOR BIDEN AGENDA
(Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, since before taking office, President Biden
and his far-left base have openly expressed their interest in expanding
the Supreme Court to create a super-legislature filled with unelected,
liberal Justices determined to do the job of Congress and legislate
from the bench.
After watching the nomination proceedings, I have no doubt that Judge
Jackson will be exactly that, a rubber stamp for President Biden's
agenda, not an impartial Justice who interprets the Constitution how it
is written.
I believe Judge Jackson's repeated leniency in Federal sentencing
cases toward prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, child sex offenders, and
convicted criminal drug traffickers gives us a window into her activist
judicial philosophy and renders her unsuitable to serve on the highest
court.
On behalf of my neighbors in middle Tennessee, I urge both of our
Tennessee Senators to vote ``no'' on confirming Judge Jackson.
