Nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by Vice President Joe Biden in large part because of her gender, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said during her confirmation hearings on Tuesday that she couldn’t define what a woman is.
Biden’s promise to put a black woman on the Supreme Court was fulfilled when Jackson was selected to succeed retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. When Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn asked Jackson to define “woman” Jackson had a difficult time answering the simple question.
“Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?” Blackburn asked during the hearing.
“No, I can’t,” Jackson said after confirming the question.
“I’m not a biologist,” said the progressive judge, who was unable to provide a definition.
“The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?” Blackburn pressed.
“Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there’s a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law and I decide,” Jackson said.

As Blackburn noted in her response, the fact that Jackson couldn’t give “a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about.”
Adding a radical progressive activist to the nation’s highest court also highlights the risks. On the Supreme Court bench, Jackson has been entrusted with the interpretation of the Constitution and the adjudication of the rights of American citizens, despite her inability to define what it is that makes a woman or man.
A majority of the Supreme Court has already shown a reluctance to side with science when it comes to defining sex. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was rewritten in Bostock v. Clayton County by the court’s liberal justices, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch, to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in the prohibition of employment discrimination based on “sex.” “An employer who fires an individual solely for being gay or transgender defies the law,” wrote Gorsuch in his opinion.
Degrading Americans’ natural rights and opening the door for the court to continue expanding key and concrete definitions as it sees fit were just two consequences of this ruling, which was hailed by the media as an “equality victory.”
“There is only one word for what the Court has done today: legislation,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his dissent, which was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. “…A more brazen abuse of our authority to interpret statutes is hard to recall.”
The last thing the United States needs is for a member of the judiciary who refuses to acknowledge the existence of women to further corrupt the system. Democrats and the corrupt corporate media are fighting tooth and nail and even lying to push Jackson’s confirmation, but the nominee should disqualify herself from the bench because of her laxity in sentencing for child porn offenders, connections to and endorsements by the abortion industry, and her utter inability to answer the simplest of questions.
