Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) railed against Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Senate floor Tuesday and suggested she would have defended the Nazis during the Nuremberg trials. “Judge Jackson has also shown real interest in helping terrorists,” Cotton stated. “Now, it’s true that you shouldn’t judge a lawyer for being willing to take on an unpopular case,” Cotton said, before doing exactly that. Just goat herders who were picked up by marauding American troops.”The senator then referenced former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who was the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. “You know, the last Judge Jackson left the Supreme Court to go Nuremberg and prosecute the case against the Nazis,” he said.
