How Do You Know?
Selwyn Duke
When Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson claimed she couldn’t define "woman” during her confirmation hearings in 2022, it created quite a stir. The story only would’ve been better if Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who’d asked the then-judicial nominee to define the term, had followed up with, "Are you a woman, Judge Jackson?” The follow-up to that then should’ve been:
"How do you know?”
Do "Scientists” REALLY Claim There’s No "‘Simple’ Answer to Define ‘Woman’”?

It should now Dana. Give it a try. (I can never get The New American to open on my machine so I'm counting on you.)
It didn't copy and paste properly. I think it's fixed.

Works now. Previously it just returned us to the Aviary.
Good article. Reminds me of something I read years ago, which was about how a really wise man is defined as one who thinks of his smart rejoinders too late to use them. In this case I think we can assume that KBJ did not intend to give a good answer because she was locked in the throes of the agenda, and knew that if she DID give a good answer, she'd lose the job.

I imagine so Dana. Yeah; she was in a tight spot. Deserved but it was tight.
