Dear reader,



Did you watch Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination
hearings?

On Tuesday, when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) questioned Judge Jackson, he
asked her, "Have you ever had any interaction with a group called
American Prospect?" Watch it here
:

Let me explain why our pal Lindsey is so upset. He was dead-set on
having President Biden nominate Michelle Childs, a judge from his home
state. It might have worked, too, until we started reporting about how
Childs worked for an anti-union law firm

defending employers against discrimination claims, issued a litany of
tough-on-crime rulings

that were overturned by higher courts, once sentenced a man to 12 years
in prison

for selling eight ounces of marijuana, and let a powerful lawyer off the
hook

for killing protected hawks, after testimonials from state officials.

In other words, our reporting helped ruin Graham's plan of getting his
handpicked Supreme Court choice past a Democratic president. And he's
still fuming about it, inferring that we are a "left-wing radical
group that [has] destroyed the law as we know it." He then got so mad
he stormed out of the hearing room.

Just for the record, no, we didn't have any interaction with Judge
Jackson when we reported independently on Judge Childs. (That said, if
Judge Jackson would like to sit with us for an interview, we'd be
happy to accommodate here, though we understand that she's busy.)
