Beyond the fact that Ketanji Brown Jackson was obviously trying to keep from making the ‘woke’ masses angry by defining a woman, the fact she would go in that direction while being ‘interviewed’ by the Senate tells us she doesn’t really care about the law, she cares about the politics.
And as Harmeet K. Dhillon points out, this is not just embarrassingly biased but could have some actual legal ramifications.
Take a gander:
How do you adjudicate Title VII claims without being able to to answer this question? Title IX? https://t.co/VicNi0Yrjj

Right? If you can’t define what a woman is how can you possibly make judgments based on, around, or even for women? What a huge misstep for KBJ, and what a sad world we live in that she felt this was the only way out when asked a question that could be politically damaging. We get it, if she had said, ‘a woman is an adult female’, the 10% of the country who thinks that’s somehow bigoted would have thrown a fit. Sadly, they are the loudest in the room …
But she’d be a SCOTUS justice for LIFE.
Why not answer the question?
I mean, as we now know, biology has nothing to do with being a "woman," so even from a Marxist/nihilist perspective, this is the wrong answer.

Scary that we have to look at anything from a Marxist perspective.
3/ Sadly, Republican senators are more afraid of being called names by elderly white bigots (Sheldon Whiteclub, anyone?) than of putting someone on the high court who mocks them with such answers, ignores the law as written, falsely denies CRT influencing her judging… smh.

Awww yes, Sheldon Whitehouse, the old white guy who belongs to more than one all-white club.
4/Judge Jackson is obviously academically qualified to be on the court, but that's a box-checking exercise. Today's answers demonstrate a calculating willingness to say whatever she thinks will get her votes or keep her from losing votes. Who is this person really? She won't say.

Who is this person really?
She won’t say.
And that’s terrifying.
Judge Jackson sat in judgment of thousands of people in court. In each of these cases, judges are required to make credibility determinations. If a witness answered a question in this flippant/fake way, they’d be risking an admonition or even warning of contempt of court/ https://t.co/rLvYpmLIkX

Oh you can bet your sweet arse if a witness had answered a question like she did as a judge she would not have approved.
2/Defense counsel: “Security guard, at the time did you say it was a man, or a woman, driving the getaway car?” Witness: “I’m not a biologist. 🤷🏽♀️” Would that answer fly in District Judge Jackson’s courtroom? It would not. And the witness would have no credibility. Case closed.

Case closed indeed.
*** US NEWS Another poll on Biden approval shows Dems still on track for a midterm election disaster.
A bag of rocks who can’t even explain what a woman is might even raise the level of intelligence in that dump.
Yep, while it’s still legal to admit.
“Women have the right to financial independence and equal benefits.” Either they do or they do not. The first word of this sentence is in dispute and it negates the remainder. There is no physical advantage for a woman to switch to male and compete. There is significant advantage to transfer from male to female. Is this disparity legally protected?
Embedded in her answer lies a new kind of evil man that can oppress at will and without a call to responsibility. She should not be judge base on that answer alone.
That whole exchange is proof that she’s too incompetent - not to mention too cowardly! - to be on the Court. She’s just another political hack.
Collins, Graham, and Murkowski confirmed her to the DC Circuit, June 14, 2021.

She does not have the commanding level of legal scholarship that one expects of a Supreme Court Justice. RBG's was of a level that Scalia respected her for it. Indeed most of the present court shows a reasonable degrees of such scholarship.
This candididate is without a judicial philosophy at all, and Dhillon is correct to imply she is a nihilist. Her approach to law is entirely transactional.
Miss Jackson, are you a woman?
How do you know?
She also “couldn’t say “ when she thought life begins. In fact, she even did an annoying little Kamala giggle when saying that.
My wife asked me to water the plants today but I refused. Said I can’t define “plant” since I’m not a botanist.
Thanks....wish their constituents could knock some sense into their RINO heads.
McRomney’s too.
I wonder who Midge will give the free voting passes to, this time.
You know they will approve her in the end. The most important qualification is that she is a black woman. The purpose of the court has been set aside.
Ans also,ask,that she answer whether she is a woman or not, and if so, demand that she answer what makes her a woman.
*********************
Post of the day.
Or abortion?🤔
It really doesn’t matter if they already have RINO votes. RINOs are loyal to their coffers and nothing else!
That’s where Blackburn fell down.
This FEMALE was nominated precisely because Biden declared that he would nominate a Black Woman.
That seems to indicate that Brown-Jackson is a Woman.
When she couldn’t define ‘woman’, she should have been asked if she IS one.
Jeez. If she doesn’t even know what she is, how can she know what anything or anyone else is?
Not dumb...cowardly.
She knows the answer and her non-answer also indicates she knows there is a political answer as well.
That is the problem.....a potential Justice should be able to assure the panel of their ability to define legal terms in the face of political conflict
