Either she is denying trans like that's swimmer dude Lia are women, or, she wasn't smart enough to dodge the question correctly.
I think we all know which of these is correct.

Brown Jackson's response sounds about right from what we want in a judge. It's not about their personal definitions it's about looking at the arguments presented and looking at the laws to make a sound judgement not based on feelings.

“Senator, in my work a judge, what I do is I address disputes,” Jackson replied. “If there's a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide, so, I’m not —”

Nay, she wasn't smart enough to realize she is defining womanhood by biology.

LMAO - Perhaps you can share with us all your qualifications to judge how smart she is. Here's part of her bio.

"She graduated from Harvard University in 1992 with a B.A. in Govern-
ment, magna cum laude, and then worked for a year as a staff reporter
and researcher at Time Magazine, Inc. She went on to earn her J.D., cum
laude, from Harvard Law School in 1996, where she was a supervising
editor of the Harvard Law Review. After law school, Judge Jackson clerked
for three federal judges appointed by presidents of both political parties:
Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the Supreme Court of the Unit-
ed States, Judge Bruce M. Selya of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First
Circuit, and Judge Patti B. Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts. . . . . "

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you're not even smart enough to judge how smart she is.

Nothing but bigoted nonsense question to pander to their scum base. Holy shit, republicans are scum, and pretty much all of them are as the other sit idly by and allow this Taliban nonsense

The absolutely correct answer! There is a biologically correct definition she is not qualified to offer. Anything else would be based on her own personal view and it would be improper to offer a personal opinion on a matter likely to end up in the Supreme Court. Oh well, guess this mean Blackburn won't vote for her.

You got her!!! She’s now obligated to step down from the confirmation process and allow the Federalist Society to name her replacement.

I am sure she is intelligent. She didnt act smart at the moment was more my point. Just like I didn't act smart with my phrasing.

Sure she wasn't. That's why she is about to be a Supreme Court Judge and you are..... not.
Clever but it doesn't alter the point of her mistake.

So every time you guys out a dumb thing from a conservative I should just say we'll your not a senator/billionaire etcetera and they are. Lol

If Jackson is confirmed then she will inevitably hear cases involving trans issues. It’s a legitimate question.

I'm just saying, a judge's personal definition of a word doesn't matter.

Would you like a judge to put their definition of a word or leave it up to facts? You can play games all you want but if you are being accused of something, you want facts.

She will also inevitably hear a case involving the death penalty and dementia.

Should the judges call on specialists like neurologists to define dementia or are you cool with them defining it themselves?

You should be deeply suspect of a judge who claims to have no legal philosophy. Jackson is a Trojan horse but if she wants to claim that there is no legal philosophy guiding her decisions then she needs to explain her personal philosophy.

The Supreme Court doesn’t call on specialists.

Of course it matters. How else would she know if what a woman was without the right definition?

Yea but that isn't the leftwing definition, and she will no doubt contradict that claim if transgender stuff gets to the court.

Given the high likelihood that Judge Jackson, as a member of SCOTUS, will hear future civil rights cases involving transgender people, the soon to be Justice answered Blackburn’s obvious, pathetic leading question perfectly.
