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’?”

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.

#3 That's what's so wrong in America right now. Half of the country thinks red is blue and blue is yellow and black is white. They just can't see right from wrong and in fact think wrong is right. I'm going crazy.

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".

Romney and Mulkowski and Collins will vote for her, so we are wasting time on guacamole games. Graham would have voted for her, but Durbin hurt his feelings.

Wait! Wait! Please tell me - - if they've asked her what the meaning of "is" is.

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.

Women are born not created by a Surgeon butcher with a sharp knife.

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.
