Have you been following any of the Supreme Court Ketanji Jackson confirmation hearing?

Asked by LostInParadise (31923points) March 23rd, 2022

A number of Republican senators have brought up some sentencing that she did as a judge which they thought was too lenient. Jackson stated that the sentencing varied with the severity of the crime. Why does she not then say that in the particular cases being brought up that the crime was less serious than in some other specific cases and therefore the sentence was lighter? The senators may or may not agree, but that would end the matter, instead of it being brought up over and over again, which gets to be a bit tedious.
