During the second day of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Lindsey Graham questioned the nominee on her faith and judicial record before storming off.

Graham made it clear from the beginning that he was not in favor of Jackson's nomination.

Graham said Childs nomination was mishandled by the radical left wing of the Democratic Party and that he and other GOP lawmakers would have supported the judge.

Graham said that the attacks against Judge Childs were vicious.

Jackson speaks on abortion, her faith, and Gitmo.

Judge Jackson doesn't have any judicial philosophy per se. Graham said that someone on the left believes you do, or that they spent the money to have you in this chair.

Graham rounded up GOP grievances and said that conservatives are focusing more on philosophy than race.

The media will be your biggest cheerleader. Graham said they have the right to pick who they want to pick. There won't be a constant attack on you like with judge Kavanaugh and other conservative judicial appointments.

They won't ask about where you go to church. Graham told Jackson that nobody is going to do that if they know what kind of groups you are in in church, how you decide to raise your kids, and how you believe in God.

That is a good thing. You are the beneficiary of a lot. You are the beneficiary of Republican nominees having their life turned upside down.

Christine Blasey Ford, a professor of psychology, accused the nominee of sexually harassing her.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation received thousands of tips but chose not to investigate them and instead sent them to the White House. In a letter, an FBI official said that she was concerned that the Trump administration may have under investigated or dismissed the tips.

GOP grievances on faith and terrorism appear in Graham's line of questioning

Graham spent a lot of time circling her faith and how she engages with it after telling Jackson that she wouldn't bevilified for her faith.

How faithful would you say you are on a scale of one to ten?

Jackson said that her faith was very important to her and that she was a non-denominational Protestant.

Jackson said that she was reticent to talk about her faith in public interest and the groups who expected her to separate her personal views from her faith.

Graham focused on Jackson's record as a public defender for Gitmo and how she referred to the Bush administration as "war criminals" in a brief written years ago.

The Senate Judiciary Committee Chair added context to Graham's statements.

On the issue of Gitmo, 39 people remain. $450 million per year is what it is. Each of these people is being held at a cost of $12 or $13 million a year. The amount would be dramatically less if they were sent to the supermax federal prison in Colorado.

Graham asked the Democrat if he supported the imprisonment of Gitmo prisoners.

According to several international and domestic human rights groups, the center of violating the Third Geneva Convention, the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights, the Convention Against Torture, and customary international law has been found in the center of the prison camp.

Jackson said that her job as a public defender was in the constitution.

Graham said he hopes they all die in jail if they go back to kill Americans. If 39 of them die in prison, it will not bother me. If it costs $500 million to keep them in jail, they will go back to the fight. The Afghan government is made up of former Gitmo inmates. The whole thing by the left about this war is not working.

The senator said that Jackson's answers raised red flags for him and that he would not vote for the nominee.

Jackson is a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and would be the first Black woman to preside over the high court.
