Several public assertions in recent days don't stand up to scrutiny. Here are some of the claims made since her nomination was announced.
“Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record also includes defending terrorists.” — in a Tweet from RNC Research on Feb. 25.First, she did not defend convicted terrorists but rather suspects. The RNC ignored the presumption of innocence that is at the heart of the legal system. Second, defending people accused of a crime is exactly what defense lawyers are supposed to do.
Even those who were charged had those charges dropped, and all were eventually released. None was convicted by the military commissions created to try detainees. So it is not correct to assert that all but two sentences she handed down in such cases, when she served as a district court judge from 2013 until last year, were “below what the government requested.”
