    Are you also claiming all of these statements are unbiased? Now, you already have not told the truth once. Will you lie again or back up all your very biased statements all over this forum?

    For someone who claims the dossier was mostly accurate, you run from the question of what was accurate in the dossier?
    Pretty telling

    Were all those White males placed on the SC because of their race? Or were they the best qualified of EVERYONE in the country? Or did they enjoy White privledge?

    I am not expressing Christianity. I do not discuss theology on message boards. I am expressing my contempt for the (now) Justice's inability to define woman in a crude manner. Crude manners are quite common here.

    They probably were the most qualified, but got placed in the position where they could be the most qualified in the first place because of their race.

    Most women had family responsibilities, which precluded them from seeking careers like this.

    Were you concerned when President George HW Bush and Ronald Reagan stated they were going to nominate a (White) woman to the SC?
    Or does it bother you that Ketanji Brown Jackson is African-American?
    P.S. I was happy to see Sonya Sotomayor, a Hispanic lady, become a SC justice.

    I don't agree with it, but they had to do it due to political pandering. When you are the President you have to do many things you do not personally agree with.

    Something many people don't seem to be able to understand.

    Stupid voters are ultimately to blame. The politicians wouldn't do it if it was not required to be able to get critical votes from voters.
    If they don't get those votes, then the other side wins the next election and even worse decisions would get made.

    No chip on my shoulder. I don't live in the past either. I am a student of history though.

    Every time a discussion comes up where someone Other Than White gains a powerful position, you bring up the past actions of people who are either dead and gone, and/or actions that are now illegal as morally abhorrent and based in racism/sexism. That is the past you repeatedly bring up.

    Why?

    Y’all picked a woman that refused to answer if armed individuals at the polls should be allowed to intimidate voters or if a president has the authority to unilaterally delay a national election along with bypassing any issues she felt were controversial.

    Not to mentioned yours was shoved through against the will of the people and done so in a completely partisan manner and took the public approval rating of the court to a new low never seen before.


    A judge acknowledging that she should be making legal arguments based on the issues identified and not what a “woman” defines as doesn’t compare.

    What is a woman?
    Is it sex organs? Not all women are born with the correct sex organs. Is is reproductive ability? Not all can naturally reproduce. Is it genetics? Not all women have XX chromosomes.

    It’s almost like that is an extremely nuanced question that the quasi fascist right wing media and politicians have fed to their super informed base is a simple one.

    At the end of the day, she could tell you what she is. LOL. I mean it's a fundamental acknowledgement of one's identity. It's more simple than asking what 2+2 is and your pick was stumped and needed to "call a friend" to answer it.

    Having never been to Washington, I have never seen that building or the Smithsonian, or the Capital Building, or...or...or...

    Lol Nothing about O'Connor's aura screams 'rock star status' so I can't see hoards of lawyer wanna-be's shreiking, fainting or demanding autographs as she climbs out of a Limo! Was it a specific case being heard that you were passionate about, or just a general tourist visit? What do you recall about that occasion?

    It is simple, a woman has no Y chromosome. There are a few gender disorders at birth, but in general society is not obligated to affirm fantasies of men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men.

    Genetics and biology is “more simple” than one of the most basic math problems?

    Fascinating.

    I noticed you didn’t answer the question.
    What is a woman in a legal context?

    Yes a basic understanding of one's identity and gender. My 6 year old son can tell you he's a boy and why. (in very descriptive and basic terms) He doesn't need to use a life line.

    Very curious as to what simple concept progressives seek to **** up in the future! Should be entertaining.

    Not going to waste my time on that pathetic BS.

    But that rankled.

    "Approximately half of U.S. voters want Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be confirmed to the Supreme Court, a new Morning Consult/Politico poll found, making Jackson more popular among voters than any of former President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees were when they were confirmed."

    As I pointed out in another thread, justice was served.

    Why do some people hate to see African-Americans and other POC make any kind of progress? Why is the thinking that the only reason they got ahead was because of affirmative action, and not their intelligence or work ethic?

    How is the term female legally defined?

    Racial identity politics is one of our American curses.

    I have no doubt that you believe the definition of “woman” by a 6 year old is adequate in a legal context when determining constitutional law. It likely is the best definition you could come up with as well as you still dodge the question.

    I understand more and more each day why these simple minded talking points hit so well with the Republican base.

    How can we consider something equal when it can't even be defined. If they want equality then get rid of all affirmative action schemes.
