The nominee was asked by Sen. Blackburn to define the word \u201cwoman.\u201d Judge Jackson refused to provide an answer, then stated that she\u2019s \u201cnot a biologist\u201d as a justification. Jackson\u2019s ridiculous response is a brazen gaslighting attempt, concocted to dupe the Senate committee and all of America. We\u2019re not buying it. She\u2019s not fooling anyone. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the relevant exchange from the confirmation hearings:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you provide a definition for the word woman?\u201d Blackburn asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan I provide a definition? No. I can\u2019t,\u201d Jackson responded. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t?\u201d Blackburn replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot in this context. I\u2019m not a biologist, \u201d Jackson said.<\/p>\n<p>We are supposed to believe that Judge Jackson, an intelligent and highly-educated woman, and a mother herself, doesn\u2019t have a clue about what it means to be a woman. Of course she knows. She\u2019s a woman. She is a wife. She\u2019s been married for 25 years. She\u2019s also a mother. She gave birth to and raised two children. She was also picked for the Supreme Court position specifically because she is a woman. She knows exactly what a woman is. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Furthermore, the \u201cI\u2019m not a biologist,\u201d explanation is preposterous.<\/strong> It\u2019s an insult to our intelligence. By that line of reasoning only veterinarians can describe the characteristics of a cat or dog; only mathematicians can provide the solution to 2+2; and only meteorologists can tells us whether it\u2019s raining outside. <\/p>\n<p>So why didn\u2019t Judge Jackson answer the question? Why did she pretend she didn\u2019t know? Why did she use such a ridiculous excuse to avoid answering a direct and very simple inquiry?<\/p>\n<p>I suspect Jackson did this because answering the question truthfully would undermine her entrenched leftist ideological belief system, upset her supporters, and contradict the transgender dogmas that currently dominate American culture, the left, and the Democrat party. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Jackson is beholden to the left and the Democrats.<\/strong> She cannot challenge the insanity of the transgender propagandists and expose their anti-woman agenda. She does not want to alienate them. She does not want to deviate from the party line. <\/p>\n<p>Providing an accurate description of a woman would destroy the fiction that a biological man could ever transform himself into a woman. Defining womanhood truthfully would reaffirm the biological reality and scientific truth encoded within DNA and the XX chromosomes of every single cell of a woman\u2019s body. Properly describing a woman would contradict the transgender delusion that men with breast implants wearing dresses and high-heeled shoes, are actually \u201cwomen.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In refusing to answer what defines a woman, Judge Jackson shows herself to be an Orwellian leftist. Like most radicals, she believes that reality is whatever she decides it must be; truth, biology, and common sense be dammed. We know this because during these same hearings Jackson defended her decisions to drastically reduce the jail time of convicted pedophiles. She justified her outrageous actions by claiming that the speed of Internet access made it too simple and convenient for these monsters to view and share pictures of horrifically abused children. Yet she herself is a mother!<\/p>\n<p><strong>We already have several current U.S. Supreme Court judges who have abandoned truth and common sense.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/orthodoxnet.com\/blog\/2011\/11\/ultimate-consequences-of-redefining-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Their decision<\/a> to define \u201cmarriage\u201d as whatever the state says it is and giving \u201cgay marriage\u201d the same legal standing as real marriage, set the stage for greater destruction of individual freedom and the increasing assaults on traditional marriage.  <\/p>\n<p>I <a href=\"https:\/\/orthodoxnet.com\/blog\/2011\/11\/ultimate-consequences-of-redefining-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> back in 2011 that if marriage can mean anything, it will ultimately mean nothing. If \u201cwoman\u201d can be defined as anything that Judge Jackson or any other judge wants it to be\u2014regardless of biology, truth, and science\u2014then womanhood will ultimately mean nothing. <\/p>\n<p>The addition of another Supreme Court justice who\u2019s willing to defy reality and undermine our legal system to promote leftist lunacy would be catastrophic. America would move further away from sanity, morality, justice, and truth, and more rapidly devolve into an Orwellian nightmare.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/orthodoxnet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Supreme-Court_Judge-Ketanji_No_Woman_Definition_01_850x440.jpg\" alt=\"What is a Woman?
