This is just another one of the Republican Party’s smear tactics against Jackson, following up on Josh Hawley insinuating that the judge sympathizes with child porn offenders and Lindsey Graham asking about Judge Jackson's personal religious beliefs. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"During the first day of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) asked the Supreme Court nominee if she aims to insert critical race theory into the country’s legal system.
On Monday, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee took turns making opening statements on the nomination of the first Black woman to the high court. Republicans have signaled they intend to question Jackson about her sentencing decisions in child pornography cases, which they say were too lenient. They have also flagged her representation of Guantanamo Bay prisoners when she was a federal public defender.
In her opening statement, Blackburn suggested that Jackson has a “personal hidden agenda” involving critical race theory and federal law.
“You once wrote that every judge has, and I quote, ‘personal, hidden agendas,’ end quote, that influence how they decide cases,” Blackburn stated. “So, I can only wonder, what’s your hidden agenda?”"
