Some time ago, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, then nominated and now confirmed, for the 116th Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, faced over twenty-three hours of strenuous questions from the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. As expected, these hearings at times seemed tense and occasionally grew emotional.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a 51-year-old federal judge and President Biden’s first Supreme Court pick. Once confirmed, Judge Jackson became the first black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Since the Senate chamber is evenly split,
Judge Jackson, like every other candidate, came out with her opening speech and sounded like any other nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. She gave a beautiful, evocative story of her upbringing and background. She also spoke about how far our country has come in terms of racial equality over the past half century and how blessed she is to have come from such a great nation, where someone of a minority status could make it to where she is. Jackson then spoke broadly about her judicial philosophy and how she decides cases from a neutral posture; by evaluating facts and applying the law without “fear of favor,” consistent with her judicial oath. She almost sounded like a constitutional conservative judge and one that was nominated by a Republican President.
See, this is the trick. We aren’t supposed to believe that Judge Brown will be a reliable vote for the left and that she has an activist bone in her body. We are supposed to believe that she will be a strict constructionist. However, anyone that remotely has seen her judicial record knows better. Also, it’s important to mention that any judge that is openly and publicly supported by the far leftist group Demand Justice and proud of it, is a huge bright red flag.
For most of the hearing, Judge Jackson did a pretty good job of obscuring her personal beliefs and jurisprudence. The judge managed to dodge numerous questions regarding her previous rulings as a federal judge and hot cultural topics of the day. She also ducked requests for clarification of her stance on a variety of Constitutional debates. But a moment came when she could no longer hide her hand. It was at this juncture that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson could no longer hide her “wokeness.” It was at this moment that one of the most important questions asked during the hearing.
Senator Blackburn (R-Tennessee) definitely deserves her props for being the one to ask such a brilliant, simple, yet complex question. Video clips of this moment have gone viral and have reached millions of views. The video clip of this moment of questioning has had everyone all over the political spectrum talking. It trended on Twitter for three straight days.
Senator Blackburn (R-Tenn.) asked Judge Jackson, “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’” Judge Jackson looked befuddled by the question and answered, “Can I provide a definition?” Jackson continued, “No, I can’t.” Sen. Blackburn then asked Judge Jackson, “You can’t?” Jackson then responded, “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”
Although many on the left have lambasted Blackburn’s intensions of this question as an ‘gotcha’ moment, the question is actually a legal one and one that was justifiably asked. Mainly because the word ‘woman’ comes up a lot in many legal cases. It often comes up in civil rights law cases involving Title IX. It also comes up in domestic violence cases as well as in abortion law.
This was an incredibly easy question. She could have answered by saying, “biologically, men produce sperm cells while women produce eggs.” From a chromosomal perspective, men have XY while women have XX, with the exception of the rare peculiarities where the SRY gene is somehow attached to an X gene with under-virilization during transmission, and this makes a person “inter-sexed.” In even more rare situations, there may be an “inter-sex” person where the SRY gene is not expressed, and a person develops secondary female characteristics, but they are genetically male.
A biological intersex person is not the same thing that is claimed by many on the left when talking about people who change their gender. The left claims that a biological man can be a female and vice versa if they do so much as just choose to do so. This is because they believe that male and female anatomy and gender are totally disconnected from sex and one can be who or what they imagine they want to be. This concept has become mainstreamed in the last two years and comes from gender theory that originated in the 1960s; promulgated by a man named John Money.
When it comes to the law, there is no law in the history of the U.S. that says that a man who identifies as a woman is a woman and vice versa. When all of our federal laws were written and expressed, none of them recognize gender in the way that the left expresses it. However, in today’s society, this gender theory has been normalized and extensively pushed by leftist elites and our “so-called” cultural betters. So, they expect everyone to go along and follow suit.
For example, if anyone were to say on social media that “a man is a man” and a “woman is a woman,” you might actually get banned. The conservative news satire company Babylon Bee was recently banned from Twitter for saying that Rachel Levine, who is the Assistant Secretary of Health, is a biological man. Which obviously is true.
We now find ourselves in a time where our political and government elites can’t actually define the word woman, or even man, for that matter. It is impossible. This is evident by the answer we got from Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson when asked the all so simple question, “can you provide a definition the word woman?” What a moment of irony! Must we forget that this is supposed to be a big historic moment? The same woman who can’t define the word “woman” is to be celebrated because she is the first black WOMAN nominated to the Supreme Court and will possibly be the first black WOMAN to be a Supreme Court Justice.

If “She” couldn’t answer such a simple question, imagine a tough question, like an unalienable right.
