Tom Cotton

Well, it was obviously a double-cross by Joe Manchin.

Well, it was obviously a double cross by Joe Manchin. You know, just two weeks ago, we’ve said he wasn’t going to support a bill like this.

Like Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who at least is honest. He says the U.S. the most heavily incarcerated country in the world has an under incarceration problem.

No reasonable person can believe that it`s appropriate to protest at the home of a sitting judge while there`s a case pending on the matter of the protest.

Does the United States need more or fewer police?

The last Judge Jackson left the Supreme Court to go to Nuremberg and prosecute the case against the Nazis. This Judge Jackson might have gone there to defend them.

Judge Jackson will coddle criminals and terrorists.

In fact, Judge Jackson remains more of a defense attorney for criminals from the bench than a judge.

Well, I don`t find it credible, Judge.

I welcome Judge Jackson and her family, and I congratulate her on her nomination.

If Judge Jackson is confirmed, her job will be simple--leave the legislating to Congress and to elected, accountable office-holders in our States and our municipalities, to zealously protect the separation of powers, and do not overturn…

We are witnessing a breakdown of society. Career criminals are committing violent crimes and going free, under the guise of a supposedly more equitable justice system. And liberal judges who have more sympathy for the victimizers than for…
