Ketanji Brown Jackson to Marsha Blackburn: "I CAN'T."

 

Justice Jackson (March, 2022): “I CAN’T.”

“A man’s chromosomes cannot be engineered into female chromosomes. Altering one’s appearance cosmetically or surgically cannot change the underlying reality of a person’s biological make-up.”—Andrew T. Walker

A picture of our societal confusion with regard to the matter of gender and its alleged fluidity and subjective nature was on full display at last year’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, when Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was questioned by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on the basic issue of gender:

 Blackburn: Do you agree with Justice Ginsburg that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring?

Jackson: Um, Senator. Respectfully, I’m not familiar with that particular quote or case, so it’s hard for me to comment as to whether…

Blackburn: Okay… Do you interpret Justice Ginsburg’s meaning of “men” and “women” as male and female?

Jackson: Again, because I don’t know the case, I don’t know how I’d interpret it. I need to read the whole…

Blackburn: Okay. Can you provide a definition for the word woman?

Jackson: Can I provide a definition?

Blackburn: Yeah.

Jackson: I can’t.

Blackburn: You can’t?

Jackson: Mm. Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.

 

Ultimately, Sen. Blackburn offered her assessment:

"…the fact that you can’t give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about."

 

Thus, Federal District & Appellate Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Harvard Law School grad and former editor of the prestigious Harvard Law Review—who was praised by former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan for her vast intellect—cannot provide us with a working definition of what a woman is. Her stated reason? Because she’s not a biologist. Following this line of reasoning, one must suppose that we cannot define what a dog or a cat is—unless, of course, you are a professional veterinarian!

 

Let us consider the grim irony of all this: Justice Jackson was appointed by Joe Biden precisely because she IS a woman, in accordance with the Left’s penchant for identity politics—and yet, she professes not to even know what a woman is!

 

Blackburn’s opinion is correct: the goal of postmodern education is to teach young minds that truth is something unreal or inscrutable. The irony is that the motto of Jackson’s alma mater, Harvard, is VERITAS: TRUTH! But we can know the Truth: JESUS (John 14:6)!
