The Republican's questioning of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson led to a stand out by Tennessee U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn. Others were happy to criticize a private school's choice of books, or to demand that the judge rate her religiousness on a scale of one to ten. Senator Blackburn asked Judge Jackson to define woman. This is a simple question that requires a simple answer. It’s a major red flag that a Supreme Court nominee backed by the far left refuses to define the word “woman.” https://t.co/5IjhmmshG9
Senator Marsha Blackburn posted on March 23, 2022.
A case about the definition of woman under the law might soon reach the Supreme Court, so Judge Jackson declined to answer.
My experience in school shows that history hurts children.
The Republican position would be ready. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments did not include women in giving certain men the vote.
The originalist position needs to be turned to the common law.

In the 18th century and throughout much of the 19th century, a married woman was defined by the common law doctrine of coverture, which meant that they were one person.
If a future case is decided by the Court on the basis of originalism, there will be no woman to define.

Tennesseans deserve a better senator. Her questioning of Judge Jackson was disrespectful and hypocritical as she pushed her own agenda.

The senator had an unabashed bias before she even asked Judge Jackson her first question. The eruption of the War in Ukraine was the reason why the nomination of Biden was ill- timed.

The Senator proclaimed that he would not hold this against the Nominee. The Senator has a responsibility to give any candidate a fair hearing.
The opening statement was inflammatory political at its worst. It would have been laughable if it weren't so serious. She thought the judge was soft on crime. The family of Judge Jackson was told about the honor of her nomination.
There is no need for a confirmation hearing for Senator Blackburn. A wise person is able to express their beliefs and convictions.
The Senator is a United States Senator who was elected. I hope she is worthy of that office.

I've been watching the confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court Justice nominee, who is the first black woman to ever be nominated. Due to the intense political divide in our country, it has at times been an enlightening experience but also a torturous one, where Democrats are likely to praise and defend Judge Brown Jackson while Republicans attack her relentlessly.
It has been like this before. The history books show that from 1789-1941, seven justices were nominated and confirmed on the same day. Over the past fifty years, the Supreme Court confirmation hearings have been a more recent development.
The SCOTUS nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson is outstanding.
I have read history books and watched movies dramatizing them, and I think that some of the antics of Republican senators like Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Josh Hawley remind me of the way these were.
The senators should be ashamed of the way they have acted, but they are not and would probably say that Democrats have behaved the same way in the past.
The smartest person in the room is Judge Brown Jackson.
