Ketanji Jackson was successful in getting her uncle jailbird Tommy’s sentence commuted.

“In 1989, when Jackson was a freshman at Harvard, her uncle Thomas Brown Jr. was sentenced to life in prison for a nonviolent cocaine conviction in which federal agents found 14 kilograms of cocaine, wrapped in duct tape, court records show.

Years later, Jackson persuaded a law firm to take his case pro bono, and President Barack Obama eventually commuted his sentence.”

14 kilos of cocaine, eh? A little more that 14 grams.

There’s a “non-violent” crime for you.

14kg of cocaine is not a small time dealer.

In 1989, no less. Wasn’t that when John Kerry and his Sandinista loving pals were blaming Reagan for the cocaine being smuggled into the black community?

Well, it was just 14 kilograms. Street value of the national
debt... /s (well close)

Why not? Just an innocent victimless crime.

“14 kilograms of cocaine”

I’m sure that’s just for Uncle Tommy’s personal use.

Ok, now this makes sense. I was wondering where this nutjob came from. Obama picked her.
