Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the former public defender whose confirmation hearing for a seat on the Supreme Court begins next Monday, has been sharply questioned by Republicans for her work representing terrorist detainees at the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay. In a background paper on her nomination for the high court, the Republican National Committee referred to Jackson’s “advocacy for these Muslim terrorists” as “going beyond just giving them a competent defense.”
Chicago Tribune On Tuesday, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the minority leader, said in a floor speech that Jackson had strong backing from progressive groups partially because of her history as a public defender, saying, “The soft-on-crime brigade is squarely in Judge Jackson’s corner.”
CAIR’s letter encouraged all members of the Senate committee during the confirmation to question Judge Jackson on her legal perspectives on issues related to civil rights, religious freedom, and the limits of presidential power, particularly in relation to immigration, NOT her support of Muslim terrorists.
Sent by CAIR Director of Government Affairs Department Robert S. McCaw, the letter stated in part that:
“Muslim terrorist detainees at Guantánamo both deserve justice and a fair trial. Judge Jackson’s public defense work on behalf of a Guantánamo detainee, and her private amicus briefs in support of other Muslim terrorists there, have been some of the best services that she has rendered our country.”
