The Challenge: Ketanji Brown Jackson’s refusal to outline the phrase “girl” throughout her affirmation listening to.
It’s past troubling that Choose Ketanji Brown Jackson refused to outline “girl” at her affirmation listening to (“ ‘Girl’ bother,” March 24).
As an excuse for her refusal to reply, she said “I'm not a biologist.” Nicely, I’m not a podiatrist both, however I do know what a foot is.
If confirmed, how can she determine circumstances of intercourse discrimination towards girls when she will’t outline what a lady is?
Additionally troubling is her file of lenient sentences for these in possession of kid pornography. 1000's of younger youngsters have been sexually exploited to supply viewing supplies for these deranged people, but Jackson repeatedly handed down sentences under each federal tips and the suggestions of prosecutors.
Choose Jackson has no enterprise being on the Supreme Court docket.

President Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court docket can’t outline a lady on the grounds that she is just not a biologist.
That makes her politically appropriate, woke and deceitful — like many different Biden appointees who discover it handy to easily deny actuality after they imagine it's to their benefit.
How can somebody who refuses to differentiate between a person and a lady be entrusted with making far subtler distinctions in authorized points that may have an effect on the lives of People for many years to return?

Sen. Marsha Blackburn requested Jackson, “Are you able to present a definition for the phrase ‘girl’?”

She is aware of what a lady is, however this tells you ways she is going to rule on issues like males competing in girls’s sports activities. She won't rise up for ladies till the woke left tells her it’s OK.

At a listening to on Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court docket as a alternative for Justice Stephen Breyer, she was requested by Sen. Blackburn to “outline girl.”
Jackson by no means did know tips on how to reply that query — or she simply didn't wish to reply it.
I'm nowhere close to as clever and as completed as Jackson. Nonetheless, I might have answered that query very simply, since I've been a male for 73 years now.
The Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn't have the maturity and authorized mind presently in her life to develop into a Supreme Court docket justice.
She positively needs to be checked out once more, however solely after a minimal of 10 extra years as a choose. Jackson is simply not prepared, for my part. She’s a lot too younger. She wants extra authorized expertise.

Maybe she will’t acknowledge the climate outdoors her window as a result of she is just not a meteorologist?
The reply was insipid. It was frightened, exhibiting her concern of imperfection, and it was childish. It uncovered Jackson as shallow and never worthy of the nomination.

I imagine The Publish obtained it mistaken when it stated that Jackson declined to outline “girl.”
She stated she couldn’t as a result of she’s “not a biologist.” Subsequently, she believes that it’s a matter of biology. And what does biology say? XX and XY.
