Democrats soft on crime policies exposed at hearing

 Washington Examiner:

...

The Republican National Committee blasted reporters Tuesday with an email headlined "KBJ: Soft on Crime" as Senate Judiciary GOP lawmakers started grilling Jackson on her work as a corporate lawyer and public defender, as well as a trial and appellate court judge, particularly her representation of Guantanamo Bay detainees and sentencing of child sex offenders.

"In 1992, Ketanji Brown Jackson said that 'tough on crime' is merely a political tool 'once the American public becomes enraged about criminal activity,'" RNC spokesman Tommy Pigott wrote. "Biden is already undermining law and order in this country. Americans do not want a justice who will rubberstamp his radical agenda."

The RNC rhetoric echoes Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who last week said Jackson had “a special empathy for criminals.”

A national Fox News poll published last month found almost 60% of registered voters disapproved of Biden's handling of crime since inauguration, while 35% approved. That compares to roughly 50% who disapproved in another Fox News poll released last summer, in contrast to about 40% who approved. At the same time, only 7% listed crime as their top priority in February, competing against double-digit concern for inflation, jobs and economic growth, the pandemic, immigration and border security, and voting rights and election integrity.

...

Actually, it is mostly people living in Democrat-controlled cities that are victims of crime and many of them are minorities.  I suspect that is one of the reasons along with inflation that a lot of minorities are dissatisfied with the Democrats.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
