| WASHINGTON — Article III Project (A3P) is launching new video ads as part of a ad campaign in eight states targeting U.S. Senators who are considered swing votes on the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Specifically, A3P is targeting Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, and West Virginia. The ad campaign focuses on Judge Jackson’s disturbing record of providing lenient sentences to criminals charged with child pornography offenses, all which fell well beneath minimum sentencing guidelines. “The constituents of these senators deserve to know exactly who they’re considering voting to confirm. Judge Jackson’s 25-year record of leniency toward child sex predators is not only appalling, it’s disqualifying. Any senator who votes to confirm Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court will be voting for someone who thinks child sex predators are treated too harshly according to federal guidelines. There is not a punishment harsh enough for these monsters. Leniency isn’t just contrary to the law as passed by Congress, it’s a case study in Judge Jackson’s terrible judgment. She should not be elevated to serve on the highest court in the land,” said Mike Davis, Founder and President of Article III Project. |
Transcript:
VO: When Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked why she sentenced a child sex offender to just 3 months instead of a recommended 8 years, she blamed everyone but herself.
Jackson has ordered lenient sentences in every child pornography case she could. 8 out of 8 times.
Activist judges like Ketanji Brown Jackson are more concerned about the well-being of pedophiles than the safety of your children, and thanks to her, they may be living in your neighborhood.
Call Senators [X] and [Y], and tell them to vote no on Judge Jackson’s nomination.
This is the latest ad buy from A3P during Judge Jackson’s nomination and the broadest buy. Previously, A3P targeted Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) for their hypocrisy in only voting for minority judges that shared their ideology, in spite of their grandstanding. Additionally, A3P ran an ad campaign calling on Schumer and Whitehouse to resign so their home-state governors could replace them with Black women in the name of equity.
The Article III Project (A3P) was founded by veteran GOP operative and attorney Mike Davis, who, after helping win the Senate confirmation battles of Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, developed the reputation as a “take-no-prisoners conservative eager to challenge the left with hardball tactics,” as reported in The New York Times. A3P defends constitutionalist judges, punches back on radical assaults on judicial independence (like court-packing) and opposes judicial and other nominees who are outside of the mainstream.
Davis previously served as Chief Counsel for Nominations to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary and led the Senate confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and a record number of circuit court judges.
