How Can Ketanji Brown Jackson Rule In
Sex Discrimination Cases If She Can’t
Define ‘Woman’?

Judicial confirmation hearings are rarely illuminating. Since the introduction of television cameras, they mostly serve as a way for senators to say what they want their constituents to hear and for judicial nominees to say as little as possible. Nothing is learned, at least not on purpose. But occasionally, we learn something by accident. At Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee asked a seemingly innocuous question: “Can you provide a definition of the word ‘woman’?”

Comments:

A fair question.

You'd think that they would at least try to find a black woman who could fog a mirror.

"Can't" means one of two things. You don't know how, or You won't do it. And I know she knows how.

Here is a sample of an exchange I had today with someone on Facebook about her inability to answer the question What Is A Woman? Me: She couldn't answer what a woman was. I thought she sounded evasive, not forthcoming. Liberal: it was a “trick” and foolish question from a silly person. Judge Jackson refused to get caught in the trap. Me: No, it wasn't. Judge Jackson knows exactly what a woman is, being that she IS one. And so do you. She is walking a fine line and not being committal to anything. Being evasive is not a barometer that Congress should use to see if someone is qualified to be on the Supreme Court. Without being candid and fulsome in her replies we are left to guess as to how she would rule on cases brought before her. If she won't answer questions we have to examine her decisions in previous cases ruled on by her. Her record says she is soft on pedophiles-are you someone who feels sorry for child pornographers? She strikes me as being more of an activist than anything else. The job of SCOTUS is not to make law-that's why we have Congress. We do not need any loose cannons on SCOTUS. Liberal: she rules within the 80 percentile of all judges on child pornographers, both Conservative and Progressive Judges. Fact. If Ms . Blackburn wanted to know her stance on Transgender people, she should have asked that question. She was detailed and candid in all of her answers, even the insulting and ridiculous. Some of the Senators on the Committee certainly want you to believe she is soft on child pornographers as that appeals to their QAnon supporters, but the facts do not substantiate. They also want you to believe she is soft on crime in general. The Fraternal Order Of Police does not agree. She said, on many occasions, that it is not the job of a Judge to make laws so she is in total agreement with you. As far as sentencing guidelines, which she followed to the letter, Congress sets the guidelines not Judges. Me: So why is asking her what a woman is a trick question? I cannot support any candidate for SCOTUS-liberal or conservative-if they cannot be candid. SCOTUS is a lifetime appointment. They are vetted like this for a reason. Asking someone what a woman is is not a trick question at all. Liberal: it was a foolish question in a hearing as important as this. The intent was clear and Ms Blackburn should not be coy in hearings as important as these. Me: WHAT intent do you refer to? I am trying to understand your side but let me ask you this: What is a woman? Your answer will tell me what I need to know what your side is, but still nothing about Judge Jackson's. Liberals don't know what women are, I guess. But if someone molested their daughter in a public bathroom I bet they'd remember.

The problem is not that she doesn't know the definition of "woman" the problem is she will define as necessary to advance her radical agenda to destroy the rule of law. Orwell made this clear in "1984" when he identified "Newspeak".

In Ketanji-court there can be no such thing as sex discrimination because it is impossible for anyone but a trained biologist to even know what a woman is. Now ask her to define what a black person is

The little that I was willing to watch I came to the conclusion like many other blacks she got into an Ivy because of color and got through because of her race. Good God, what niddly piddly replies she gave as responses, always hiding behind judicial dribble. To boot moron Durbin had to put his 10 cents in. The jerk needs to be removed followed by the candidate. She is there for one reason, because she is a black woman. So, let's put in a man who thinks he is a woman but then again, he might be a man. Perhaps then this dame can figure things out.

More than that, as she has admitted that she can't define what a woman is because she's not a biologist, that behooves her to recuse herself from any and all cases that involve any sort of biology.

The truth evolves to fit the day's narrative. 'Woman' can be defined one way today and another way tomorrow. It's about what fits today's agenda.

This means Brown has to answer to the LGBT etc crowd not the citizens of the United States. It is over folks. America, the Constitution and the Promised land has been destroyed by African women with names like Ketanji. Africa is a s... hole and now we bring them here. As far as the situation in the Ukraine, I believe nothing.

Last week, a Louisiana appellate court reinstated Attorney General Jeff Landry’s lawsuit challenging Mark Zuckerberg’s infiltration of the state election system with private “Zuck Bucks” that flooded the country during the 2020 election. The lawsuit, State of Louisiana v. Center for Tech and Civic Life, originated in October 2020. That’s when Louisiana, through Landry, sought a court order declaring that “private contributions to local election officials and the election system in general are unlawful and contrary to Louisiana law.” Landry’s lawsuit followed attempts by the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life to dole out millions in targeted grants to election officials throughout the state.

A common trope in popular culture is that if you commit crimes against the weak, particularly children, prison won’t be kind to you. There are many in there who committed all manner of horrific crimes but who, whether because of life experience or their own sense of justice, don’t take kindly to those who abuse children. In fact, “don’t take kindly” is quite an understatement. When it comes to those who, like the ones who many say were given a slap on the wrist by Kentanji Jackson, commit crimes involving child pornography or abusing kids, “prison justice”

The White House said this week it plans to release up to 180 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves, a million barrels a day for 180 days, to help bring down near-record gas prices that were climbing before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but have since spiked. It will be the largest release of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve since it was established in the early 1970s, and it probably won’t work. The specific reasons it probably won’t work — congestion on the Gulf Coast, a possible reduction in supply from Saudi Arabia and other oil producers,

Two years ago, far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, established a task force with the assigned mission of examining slavery reparations. From the beginning, it was clear that the outcome from the task force wasn’t going to be if it would recommend reparations, that was a foregone conclusion. The only question was to whom such reparations should be given. On Tuesday, that task force finally made their recommendation, and they may also have given a hint that whatever steps were to be taken would only be the beginning. After a lengthy debate and prior to holding the actual vote, the vice-chair of the task force,

It is painfully obvious, as was predictable, that Joe Biden’s presidency is a dumpster fire. As demonstrated by the party’s destructive callousness towards children, the elderly, and the poor during their Covid lockdown frenzy, Democrats care about none of these real-world results of their policies. But they do care about polling, and Joe Biden’s is abysmal. According to even heavily politicized polls, Biden is at least performing as badly as Donald Trump. Biden is between the third- and fifth-most ratings-underwater president ever in American history at this point in his first term.

And today’s kick-off of a new product offering should bring smiles to the faces of conservatives everywhere. For some background, last year the company Harry’s Razors pulled their ads from all Daily Wire programming. Why?

A recent court filing by the January 6 special select committee is giving us our first indication that Donald Trump and his lawyer may be guilty of criminal behavior. We know this is serious because it’s being reported by the New York Times – America’s paper of record. You know, those bastions of accuracy that received a Pulitzer Prize for 3 years of false reporting about the Russian collusion conspiracy. The Times is even reporting that the evidence will likely result in a criminal referral. The paper was probably tipped off by one of their reliable sources – like ahem … Adam Schiff.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin accused Rep. Matt Gaetz of being “embarrassed by your country” at a House hearing Tuesday, while the outspoken Florida Republican shot back that Mr. Austin and other Pentagon leaders have compromised U.S. military superiority by embracing socialist policies. A heated exchange between the two men erupted during Tuesday’s hearing before the House Armed Services Committee, which was meant to be a forum to discuss the Pentagon’s fiscal year 2023 budget request. But the third-term conservative lawmaker used his time to accuse the Defense Department of inviting socialists to speak at military institutions and forcing recruits to learn critical race theory.
