Ketanji can’t define what a woman is

What is as written?
All things written require interpretation. Especially years and years after it is written.
And as years go by, so does societies views of the world.
It was illegal for different races to marry, why? Because society thought it bad. Now it's a nothingburger to most everyone.

Nothing can be kept as written forever. That's why there are infringements on arms ownership.
So exactly as written seems to be a pipe dream and I would not be for that. That's why we have a court to continuously make rulings.

 

When I was teaching, quotas came up whenever racism was discussed in depth. It was seldom a popular solution with students.

Nah.

 

None of that changes that she couldn't, withinthe confines of her politically driven ideological ridiculousness, answer a question suited for a 3rd grader.

In the words of Kindergarten Cop, "Men have penises, women have vaginas" ahh. The good old days.

 

The court can only make rulings on what the text actually says. They can't just waive a magic wand and make it say whatever they'd like.
That power is reserved to Congress and the States through either of the processes described in Article V. Period end of story.

 

No one accused Kavanaugh of rape.

Both Barrett and Gorsuch were asked any number of relevant questions pertaining to subjects they may have to rule on..
Unlike Jackson, they did not have to feign ignorance in their responses.

 

You know full well liberals expect the court to do exactly that..
That's why the assume a conservative court will do such things.

 

Be honest - that wouldn't be enough of an answer for you. After all, during a vaginoplasty surgery, a surgeon creates both an outer and inner vagina by using skin and tissue from a penis

 

Did Jackson feign ignorance? Exactly how did she do that?

 

You can't be serious.
"I'm not a biologist"
Never mind she states, without hesitation or reservation tat Roe v Wade - an issue inexorably intertwined with, and dependent upon, biology - is settled law.
Thus, feigned ignorance.

 

Fail: Your reference states the person is a male.

Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is a syndrome where a male has an additional copy of the X chromosome.[3]"

You assume she's insincere or misguided because she doesn't agree with you.

People who think as you do would make lousy Justices.[/QUOTE]

Fail:

SCOTUS is not obliged to listen to scientific evidence. We are not ruled by scientists.Thank God.

 

Taxation is the price which we pay for civilization, for our social, civil and political institutions, for the security of life and property, and without which, we must resort to the law of force.

 

'As a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there's a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide.'

I'm content with that. Perhaps Blackburn should have posed a theoretical question rather than ask for a broad definition. But that would give away her 'gotcha'. Imagine us not knowing what she was doing...smh.

 

Of course you are - Agenda > intellectual honesty.

How do you know you're a woman?

 

I admit, I'm confused. The comment you replied to was about is a taco a sandwich.



So could you explain what the hell you are talking about? Does @spiritgide have a position on if the taco is a sandwich? That was just a throw away line, it wasn't meant to keep you up nights.

 

What was the case?

 

No one on the planet would even know about the question had Jackson not dodged answering it.

 

As I’ve said before, if it was only about qualifications Biden could have nominated a straight white conservative man. That he didn’t proves it’s not about qualifications and all about agenda. Cruz, Cotton, Graham and Hawthorn asked about her agenda.

 

AND...
If it were about making the court look like America, he would nominated a white woman.
So...
Agenda... and race-based pandering.

 

I think the question was intentionally asked to whip the masses into a frenzy, as is being demonstrated in this 14 page thread.

It doesn't matter HOW she answered. There was going to be a debate no matter what.

Question: Would you like to fall down a rabbit hole with me, so we can whip partisans into a frenzy?
Answer: No.

 

You've wondered this in a few threads, now.

Answer - Jews are 2% of the population, yet are 22% of the court. Is that fair?

 

Quite right - and I'm now sorry for my participation in the issue.

What I find particularly sad is that Republican senators have attacked her on issues which are not in the purview of SCOTUS. McConnell has stated he would not vote for her because she would not take a stand on court packing. Strangely, Barrett also took the stance that it was not a SCOTUS issue, but he voted for her. Others attacked her on issues (like sentencing) when they obviously haven't looked in their own backyard about federal justices they've approved who have given sentences lighter than prosecutor recommendations in cases involving images of child sex abuse. Ted Cruz even freaked out about anti-racism books in the library where she is a trustee - but the school that Cruz' children attend have the very same books in their library.

 

Yes, Dairy, that's why there are TWENTY-SEVEN AMENDMENTS to the Constitution! When there are valid reasons for the Constitution to be 'updated', we amend it, for that's the PROPER way -- and not to have some 'revisionist' judge making snap, unilateral decisions while 'legislating-from-the-bench'!

Again, only CONGRESS may create laws....

 

I actually agree with that as unfair as it often may be. When I was living in the shithole of the world known as Moreno Valkey, CA, I was paying a little less than $2000 in property taxes that went to a school system even though I had no kids. $2000 of my total property tax bill went to help people who didn’t take advantage of that help and turned my neighborhood, Moreno Vally Ranch, into what it was when I finally escaped - a dung heap of fatherless criminals who will break into and steal anything that’s not locked in a safe. One day my wife borrowed her father’s Porsche and parked in the driveway overnight. The little pecker heads not only cut the top of the roof in order to open the doors and steal everything that was inside, they also egged the car real good, probably with eggs they stole from someone else.

Anyway, poor or people who are not affluent have no skin in the game even when the game is often suited to support them.

 

Of course. Team D does the same thing. It's how partisans roll. Political theater. Blech.

 

Gender-based equality laws aren't the purview of the USSC?
Discrimination based on gender isn't the purview of the USSC?

Jackson stated she's not a biologist, but declared Roe v Wade - an issue inexorably linked to biology - as settled law.
-That- doesn't bother you, of course.
