South Carolina Sen. announced Thursday he would oppose Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, after accusing her of ‘judicial activism.’
Graham announced his position on the floor – where in the past he cast votes in favor of both of President ‘s high court nominees.
‘I find Judge Jackson to be a person of exceptionally good character, respected by our peers and someone who has worked hard to achieve her current position,’ Graham said.
‘However, her record is overwhelming in its lack of a steady judicial philosophy, and a tendency to achieve outcomes in spite of what the law says,’ he said.
‘I will oppose her and I will vote no,’ said Graham, a former Judiciary Committee chairman.
He is one of three Senate Republicans who voted to confirm Jackson to the U.S.Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit less than a year ago.
Graham also got into heated exchanges with Jackson last week over her child porn sentencing and her past representing detainees at Guantanamo Bay during her Senate confirmation hearing.
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham announced Thursday he would oppose Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, calling her a ‘favorite of the radical left’
His announcement comes a day after Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) announced she would vote for Judge Jackson.
The nomination is expected to clear the 50-50 chamber next week.
‘My decision is based upon her record of judicial activism, flawed sentencing methodology regarding child pornography cases and a belief Judge Jackson will not be deterred by the plain meaning of the law when it comes to a liberal cause
Teeing off on Jackson, Graham said: ‘Her record is overwhelming in its lack of a steady judicial philosophy and a tendency to achieve outcomes in spite of what the law requires or common sense would dictate.’
Then, he added: ‘After a thorough review of Judge Jackson’s record and information gained at the hearing from an evasive witness, I now know why Judge Jackson was the favorite of the radical left.’
Graham criticized Jackson during last week’s confirmation hearings over sentencing in child porn cases she presided over, as several GOP lawmakers highlighted cases where she went below prosecutors’ recommendations.

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) is the lone Republican to announce her support for Jackson so far
‘All I can say is that your view on how to deter child pornography is not my view.I think you are doing it wrong, and every judge who does what you are doing is making it easier for the children to be exploited,’ he said.
Republicans accused Jackson of going easy on child porn defendants.
Democrats countered that her sentences matched recommendations either by prosecutors or by probation officers’ pre-sentencing reports.They also argued that most judges gave sentencing below sentencing guidelines in ‘nonproduction’ child porn cases involving receipt, possession or distribution.
Graham also indicated he wanted President Biden to nominate judge Michelle Childs, the favorite of fellow South Carolina lawmaker Rep.James C. Clyburn, porno the House Majority Whip.
Graham is a close ally and golf companion of Trump who also declared the end of the road in a defiant speech after Jan. 6th. ‘All I can say is count me out. Enough is enough,’ he said, although he quickly got back into the fold with Trump.
Graham was the only Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee to back Justice Elena Kagan on a 13-6 vote in 2010.

A columnist who created the notorious ‘Sh***y Media Men’ list detailing allegations of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct could still go to trial for defamation after a judge declined to resolve the case in her favor.
Moira Donegan, 32, who created the widely circulated list in 2017 at the height of the #MeToo movement, was sued by New Orleans-based journalist Stephen Elliott after the spreadsheet accused him of rape, sexual harassment and ‘coercion.’ Elliott’s lawsuit claimed the allegations are ‘false’ and ‘unsubstantiated.’
Donegan’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, sought immunity for her client under a controversial law protecting social media users who host or republish information from being held legally responsible for what others do or say online.
U.S.District Court Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall on Thursday, in an order obtained by DailyMail.com, declined the request, arguing that Donegan’s testimony and ‘vague’ recollections about the document did not ‘rule out the possibility’ that she encouraged others to make posts that broke the law.
DeArcy Hall’s ruling leaves the possibility that Donegan could stand trial for defamation, but the case could still be resolved by the judge on ‘other grounds.’
More than 70 men were named on the ‘Sh***y Media Men’ spreadsheet before it was taken offline.Elliott, who is seeking $1.5 million in damages, appears to be the only alleged victim to sue the Brooklyn-based writer.
Moira Donegan, who created the notorious ‘Sh***y Media Men’ list, could still go to trial for defamation after a judge declined to resolve the case in her favor
Elliott filed his suit against Donegan in 2017, accusing her and at least 30 other unnamed co-defendants of knowingly publishing false allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against him.
His complaint alleged both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress as a result of him being included on the list.
He claimed the publication caused him to ‘became extremely depressed’ and that he ‘enrolled in therapy while actively contemplating suicide.’
The journalist also claimed his professional life suffered, as well as his personal life, alleging he was met with isolation from ’employers, colleagues, business associates, friends and family members’ after he was accused of ‘being a rapist,’ among other things.
In addition to the financial compensation, Elliott wants a court order requiring the defendants to ‘issue a written retraction to each and every person to whom they originally published the false and defamatory statements.’
Kaplan had attempted to block Elliott’s suit based on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which states: ‘No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.’
Donegan, in an affidavit, alleged she did not ‘solicit or encourage anyone to add false statements or false misconduct allegations’ to the spreadsheet.
Her lawyer also argued that Donegan couldn’t have encouraged any of falsehoods against Elliott because she did not know him.

However, the judge ultimately decided that Donegan – whose Twitter bio says she is currently a gender and politics columnist at The Guardian U.S.- hadn’t provided enough evidence to prove she is entitled to use the Communications Decency Act to block the suit.
‘Unfortunately, Defendant offers no authority for this proposition and the court has found none,’ DeArcy Hall wrote in the 17-page order.
She cited Donegan’s testimony and ‘vague recollections’ of the events surrounding the list as evidence for her ruling.
‘Rather than providing facts regarding her communications with respect to the Spreadsheet, Defendant’s testimony simply highlights that she does not recall what she said or wrote to others regarding the Spreadsheet,’ DeArcy Hall wrote.

The judge also argued that Donegan hadn’t provided enough evidence to prove she is entitled to use the Communications Decency Act to block the suit
‘Defendant’s inability to recall the contents of her communications leaves open the possibility that Defendant did specifically encourage the posting of unlawful content.’
One of Elliott’s attorneys, Andrew Miltenberg, issued a statement to DailyMail.com Friday night, reading: ‘Allowing this lawsuit to move forward is critical for due process and the Constitutional right for the accused to face their accusers, particularly at a time in the MeToo era when online, anonymous accusations are being made with impunity, destroying reputations and careers.
‘Judge DeArcy Hall’s decision today shows that Section 230 is not an acceptable defense for being the ring-leader of broad-based online character assassinations.Moreover, the fact that Ms. Donegan deleted her “Sh***y Media Men” spreadsheet and the majority of her related communications – the primary evidence in this case – is revealing.’

Cardigan in conflict over access to his private forest
The 7th Earl of Cardigan rode through Russian gunfire as he led the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade into the ‘Valley of Death’ in 1854.
Now, the current Earl of Cardigan is leading the charge against civil servants’ plans to make people pay to visit the private forest that’s been owned by his family for centuries.
Savernake Forest in Wiltshire is managed by the government agency Forestry England, which has announced proposals to charge vistors for parking.
It wants to close the 4,500-acre woodland to vehicles and expand a car park which is currently free of charge.
It even proposes that people may no longer be allowed to walk where they want in the ancient forest and would have to stick to specified trails, with other areas being restricted to the public.
The Earl, David Brudenell-Bruce, questions whether the bureaucrats have the authority to implement such measures
The Earl, David Brudenell-Bruce, questions whether the bureaucrats have the authority to implement such measures.
‘The Forestry Commission are only the tenants at Savernake, the only privately owned Forest in England,’ he tells me.’They are floating the suggestion of banning all cars from the forest and corralling them into their pay car park.’
The Earl, 69, whose singer daughter Bo Bruce was a runner-up on TV talent show The Voice, adds: ‘Savernake Forest has been a vital resource to the people of Marlborough and all the surrounding villages for hundreds of years.
‘In summer, the forest is used by lots of families, all enjoying the outdoors, and I have no desire to bring that to an end.
‘Not content with banning cars, the consultation document even talks of closing sections of the forest to walkers.’
Adds the Earl: ‘As the owners of the forest, my family and our trustees can veto any proposal that is outside the terms of the Forestry Commission’s lease.’
A Forestry England spokesman tells me: ‘There is no intention to curtail the increasing numbers of visitors to the forest.Our aim is to better manage how visitors enjoy the forest so that the most sensitive and damaged areas can be protected and allowed to recover.’
