Mr. HICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise in objection to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment to the Supreme Court. She is an activist, not a constitutionalist.

Repeatedly, she has reduced sentences for convicted child sex torturers and pornographers. One example, for an individual who deserved 10 years, she gave only 3 months of a sentence.

She was in favor of an extended buffer zone around abortion clinics in Massachusetts, which is a blatant attempt to limit the free speech rights of peaceful protesters who stand for life.

In her confirmation hearings, she would not even define the word ``woman,'' which is an indication of potential future attacks on religious liberties, among other things.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would ensure a radical leftwing agenda on the Supreme Court for decades to come.

America deserves better. America deserves a constitutional Justice on the Supreme Court.

I urge my Senators from Georgia and other Senators to vote ``no'' on her confirmation.
