“How does one human being do so much so extraordinarily well?” the president of the ABA’s standing committee asked about Jackson.
Jackson unanimously received from the ABA, which was based on a thorough review of her background, including interviews with 250 legal professionals who have worked with her.
On Wednesday, Republicans suggested that Jackson was overly lenient in her sentencing of child pornography offenders, but the ABA representative said there was “no evidence” to support those claims. Ann Claire Williams, president of the ABA’s standing committee, said concerns about her record “never came up in any of the interviews we conducted,” and evaluator Joseph Drayton said no one who worked with Jackson in those cases “felt that she demonstrated bias in any way.”
A prosecutor who appeared before Jackson said they “do not observe any bias” and believe she’s “fair to all sides,” Drayton said. The ABA officials also said there was no evidence “whatsoever” behind Republicans’ claims Jackson is “soft on crime.
