A GOP senator claimed Judge Jackson wanted to free all prisoners – she told him ‘read two more sentences down’

On Wednesday's Supreme Court hearing for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sen. Thom Tillis read out a ruling that he claimed suggested Jackson was advocating for release of all prisoners in COVID-19-infected facilities, regardless of the offense they committed — and was swiftly corrected as Jackson explained that the ruling actually said the opposite of that. "You said, 'the obvious increased risk of harm that the COVID-19 pandemic poses to individuals who have been detained in the districts congressional facilities reasonably suggests that each and every — and I think that means everyone — every defendant who is currently in the D.C. Department of Corrections custody and who thus cannot take independent measures to control their own hygiene and distance themselves from others should be released,'" said Tillis.
