- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asks Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson about her refusal to define "woman" yesterday, stating she could not because she was "not a biologist"; Cruz says that "under the modern leftist sensibilities, if I decide right now that I'm a woman... does that mean that I would have Article 3 standing to challenge a gender-based restriction?"

How does SHE know SHE is a WOMAN if SHE doesn’t know what a WOMAN is?
Because she identifies as a woman.
She didn’t say she doesn’t know what a woman is
@@SenatorLackeywhen asked by Blackburn she replied that she wasn’t a biologist and therefore couldn’t define what a woman is.
@@chandler2927Yup! She never explicitly said she doesn’t know what a woman is but she sure as hell implied it in that moment.
But Justice Jackson isn’t stupid. She knew exactly how she could answer that question, and had she actually done so she would’ve been correct.
She absolutely answered that question the way she did because she was too scared of offending the woke leftists. We have to live with the reality that we have someone on The Supreme Court who is too afraid of acknowledging a basic truth because it would hurt some feelings
What we do know is that she is full of shyt
Clearly shes afraid of answering honestly. This is deception, its pretty clear. She holds radical views and doesn’t want to reveal that.
I believe she IS answering that clearly by NOT answering!
@@nise5281 absolutely. Sadly she doesn't realize that.
Nope...she's scared of being labelled a transphobe by a vocal minority
Those weren’t hypotheticals , they were straight forward questions
I wouldn't say afraid but she has an leftist agenda 💯❗️She's a wolf in sheep's clothing ❗️
-Senate: Define a woman?
-Brown: I don't know
-Senate: How will you enforce women's rights then? Answer this, What are you?
-Brown: I'm black and I'm a wom....I don't know
Exactly.. wokists can never admit they are wrong on all debate topics (besides maybe solar power)
Everyone is equal in the eye of the law. You do understand what everyone means, right?
Just in case, i'll explain it. Everyone means men and women. Simple, right?
She's doesn't need to define a woman because laws applied to everyone.
Enforce women's right? Gimme ONE exemple of that. Just one.
This wasn't her answer to the question.
It is not up to a judge to define terms, unless there is a case before them for that reason. Though it may have sounded quite strange from a judge, this is the way it is supposed to be.
Impartiality might become an issue if she had defined the term and a case involving transgenders is put before her.
Key word$: "If she" and "her" as you described her in your sentences @@kevin___
This woman is very dangerous. Keep her out of the court.
No she's not
@@sidali2590why do you say that. Especially since she doesn't know what a woman even is. That's pretty dangerous, yes or no?
@@maximusmeridius6610 you are biased and unfair trumps judges were biased and unfair
@@sidali2590 there the people's judges and they judged according to our constitution. Even Pelosi agreed with it. They used what she said as precedent. So now what is Joe blow gonna do? Try and circumvent their fair ruling. Seriously, why should other people pay for someone else's student loan? Is that fair?
@@sidali2590shut up
Define being a woman! If you can't easily do that, you don't belong in ANY department which decides the law/ legal action.
You also should not even be a teacher for elementary. ha.
I would ask her straight up, "How many genders are there?" If she answered anything other than "two", I would just stop my questioning and tell her she doesn't have my vote. Why waste time on a charade.
She's never sat in a room with peers and had her beliefs challenged.
Noone in that room is her peer
You're right... But not in the way you think!
@@user-fs9dt4tz1w Tell me how.
If it’s unclear what a woman is, how does joe know he’s nominated one?
I take that back. Joe doesn't know one way or the other. This is way above his capabilities.
She ia not cbale of being a judge... Truth is the bases of anything....she dances around lies and people who want to live on the bed lies...
Because Joe is not a biologist. What an unbelievable conundrum the left has created, more accurately stated, perpetrated.
Who says it's unclear? We have our own alphabet soup and I'm dreading it. And then BS is a natural morphine. Woman is a natural-born female age, who the hell can't figure that out. Just go with Biology and other sciences and you'll be okay. Who's confused about things happen? Social retard as a people can identify as they want but it doesn't change your sex. The operation doesn't produce a woman, it produces a dickless man
It is certainly far above _your_ capabilities.
@@ColonelFredPuntridge
Well, according to you in another of your reactions, brandon is a "meckerel-snapping, wafel-eating, Poper-scoper in fact". That's about the same I said....
I would have asked her how she determined her mother and herself are women without having a biology degree?
Can _you_ define what a woman is?
@@ColonelFredPuntridge Yes. Can you?
@@HemiBurns Well, yes, I probably could, if I thought about the question. But you see, I _AM_ a biologist (strictly speaking I am a retired antibody-chemist, but antibody-chemistry is a form of biology, obviously, and most of my career was in the business of inventing antibody-based medications, which is a bio-science), so the fact that I can define what a woman is doesn't have any bearing on Ketanji Brown-Jackson not being able to define it because she's "not a biologist".
But this is all moot anyway, if you take the trouble to watch or read what she actually said. She was talking about the fact that many laws have "definitions" sections which define the terms used in the text of the particular law, including terms which are commonly used differently in ordinary conversation. Words like "woman", "parent", "child", "mother", "father", "caregiver", and part of the judge's job is to interpret the law _according to the definitions given in the law,_ or, if the "definitions" section doesn't include the term in question, according to current technical/scientific jurisprudence, not according to the way a stupid uneducated grunt/hick like Senator Blackburn might use the term in ordinary speech. (Oh, I shouldn't call her "uneducated": she did graduate from college with a major in ... _home economics!!!_ LOL).
@@ColonelFredPuntridge Senator Blackburn asked her a simple question. I listened to the answer given. It was totally political and not based on law or science. Only wokeness gets us to a point where liberals struggle to define what a woman is. As a biologist you should not have to tell me you “ probably” could define what a woman is. We never had this problem until supposedly science following liberals decided to invent things
@@HemiBurns The point is you can define "woman" many different ways, and a judge is supposed to define it in the way which is most relevant to the case she is presiding over and judging, according to the definition given by the relevant law itself, if it gives one. The judge is NOT supposed to walk into the courtroom carrying the burden of a pre-decided definition.
Of course she can't answer the question, as she would have to tell the truth, and that is not good.
How Many People Has She Held In Contempt For Not Answering?
Jackson did everything but apologize to the criminals having to be there before her. NO WAY SHOULD THIS WOMAN BE ON THE SUPREME COURT.!!!!
Oh, hell to the no with this judge. She is unfit.
She is hedging her bets just in case, cause that is what a nominee to the SCOTUS is suppose to do? Follow THE Constitution and it is very evident she has NO desire to do so!
Wow this is amazing! I can’t believe this person is a Judge of anything but more that this person is a Supreme Court Judge. This is unreal.
If there is no woman there is no man...no toxic masculinity or patriarchy
You awesome Ted Cruz 👏
I haven't heard a clear or straight answer from her yet just skirting around questions I hope they don't nominate her
I haven't heard an answer from ANY of Bidens nominees of any position..or actually from any lefty. Its pathetic. And explains the state of our country. 🇺🇸
She already been nominated. Too late for that. I think you meant confirmed. Maybe Manchin or Sinema will step up? This woman has no business being anywhere near the Supreme Court.
That is an absolutely 100% ridiculous answer
And this "person " is supposed to represent HALF the population of America....what a sock puppet !
Ask her if she’s a women, then ask her what makes her a women. Pretty simple
Can you really not spell woman?
@@kstrejc99 why can't someone identify as multiple people?? try not being a transphobic fascist bigot next time
That woman is slippier than a snake covered in greased Teflon. She can do anything but answer a direct question!
She's a lawyer man. They're all slippery.
She is so not SCOTUS material
Vote no
She's the first Asian Man to be on the supreme court from her view.
Biden didnt know she was a black woman
In my opinion Brandon disqualified Ms. Brown by openly nominating here based on colour and gender. Second why did she accept. I would not or have a discussion. If I was solely and primarily selected on other than merit I would not accept
but YOU have integrity
Reagan and Trump both EXPLICITLY stated their intent to nominate women before nominating O'Connor and Barrett. If it's okay for GOP presidents "to primarily select on other than merit" - and I don't know why you allege these nominees lack "merit" simply because they're female - then why isn't it okay for Democratic presidents to do the same?
No shame or self awareness.
We now live in a world where race and gender are the highest (only?) qualifications for all government positions.
Who is Brandon?
Just ASK her...."Do YOU consider yourself to be a WOMAN?"
If NOT----just what ARE you, from a Biological perspective."
And make CERTAIN to inform her---One does NOT need a, "Degree
in Biology" to make that determination.
Why have these hearings if they are not going to answer the question and stone wall when asked a question. This is a joke.
She's not able to awnser any question, how is she suppose to do a good job when she can't awnser basic questions
It’s foolish to chase your tail with no true north. It seems foolish to be pursued by the arguments and then decide. This is silly that a judge would not judge righteously over simple matters that undermine the underpinnings of basic logic.
Jackson needs to go!
Not qualified
One of these GOP senators should sneak into the record the fact that Ruth Bader Ginsberg in all her decades on the Federal bench and over 150+ opportunities to hire law clerks, hired precisely ONE (sort of) black law clerk.
And Brandon threatened to filibuster a black female (Janice Rogers Brown) to one of Federal Courts that Bush nominated.
Ruth was actually a wingless raptor....
Apparently Demmies don't have to give answers to any questions.
Anyone who doesn't know what a woman is has no business moderating a discussion, let alone being a judge, nor a Supreme Court Judge.
if you do not know what a woman or a man is, you have no business on the bench period
This could only happen in the US... As a European, I'm actually shocked! What in the world is going on over there?
Just wow.. wow.
Well, the nominee could not define a "woman" , because she is not a biologist. Just bring in a biologist, or an Encyclopedia of Biology, and ask her to repeat it. It was such an easy argument to close!
Ted Cruz could have brought up the fact that calling her mom mom was offensive and ask why she wasn't considered just a birthing person
Ketanji Brown Jackson
This woman praises the father of CRT and espouses his book where he says AMERICA is irredeemably racist?
Ketanji say offenders of child porn should be given lesser sentences for their crime!
How insufferable. Before she answers her questions, she smacks her lips. I can’t unhear it and now you can’t either.
I thought it was just me ...
And this is a representative of the left's finest.
Comments have been turned of on the last 2 videos posted by Forbes of Ms. Jackson being questioned. Why the silencing Forbes?
RADICAL!!!!!
I reserve the right to not answer the question based upon the fact that I have no idea what a man or woman, or any othe conceived gender may be, has been, or will be.
"Falsehood and deceit fear examination: Truth invites it" C.S. Lewis
Ted Cruz should declare himself a black woman and nominate himself to the Supreme Court
Declared...huh,?unclear and totally clueless 🥴. What a weirdo 😂. Get it together "Lady"!!!!
Hate Cruz all you want. He's sometimes pretty brilliant.
The booger he ate on national television was smarter
The "journalist" who writes a column in my free, county newspaper dislikes both Lauren Boebert AND Ted Cruz. Hmmm? What should I make of that???
If confirmed she is going to interpret everything to her liking, her agenda and against the judges who were appointed by the Right. I have no doubts at all she will be a thorn in the side of the Right as long as she is on the Supreme Court .
she'd be there for life!
That’s part of it. Her other job is to challenge every aspect of our constitution and then Use her race to guilt and try and sway the conservative judges. whenever that fails or doesn’t get the correct response she will say the court is racist and needs to be reviewed.
@@401RISaint ya'll are so blind and blantly racist it's really sad and hilarious at the same time...
Damn, she should be a conservative then
Isn't that exactly how your political judicial system is set up to function?
I don't recall divorce courts hiring biologists..
Boom !!!
Go Ted.
Ted Cruz is awesome
who knows 😅 he definitely claimed that he wants to be an Asian woman 🤠 - that is awesome 😎 lol
@@user-si4vy3tx4r you are way out of context
@@lsutigernfla1 I’m just kidding 🤠
Um... So this is what you get being a box ticker 😂 pathetic but never expected anything less from Potato Biden🥔😛
She just admitted to lying under oath
Ted Cruz is a beast! Keep up the great job. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ted Cruz for the win in that round!
LMFAO, if you say so
"I am woman, hear me roar". To quote an old song. God made two sexes Adam and Eve. He didn't make any other sexes and He don't make mistakes, only humans make mistakes. There are many nationalities but only one woman/man. Get it, got it, good. God bless.
Preach it!!!
Lindsey Graham of all people should never ask someone to define their gender. After all he’s still trying to define his own.
This person is not qualified to be SCOTUS, she doesn't know what a WOMAN is or when a human life begins!
Wow. Simply wow.
Yes Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He has spent his whole life trying to sound American.
This nominee is not qualified, she is an activist .
I would never want to be judged by her! She wouldn’t apply justice.
Pizza Gate Judge....who gave the shooter in DC pizza place 4 years....
If I had to give 5 bucks for every question she answered directly I wouldn't even have to take my wallet out once...
Doubt you can count, surprised if you can read
@@kstrejc99 ooooh, you got me! From the team that can't define what a woman is....
She is a strong left wing liberal which is why she won't answer what a woman is. The woke Trans example!
Oh how far we have fallen.
One of a kind
responses involving "and" and "um" while looking clueless......criminal. Judges need to have a clear and concise answer to all questions.
@John R Yes, Jackson is very fluent when it comes to using "filler words."
Hypothetically, What is a woman? I can’t 🤣🤦♀️
She should have been asked, "How does Black's Law Dictionary define the word WOMAN?".
Of course, there is no reasoning with these fools.
That's what you call a genius in your own mind.
How does she know what an Asian is? If she doesn’t know what a woman is, can we trust her to able to define different races? When Ted Cruz starts making sense we are in big trouble.
😂
Blacks comprise approximately 12% to 13% of the US population. This ratio has remained fairly constant for decades. In judicial circles, Blacks comprise less than 5% of the population of all of the racial demographics in the arena that is the legal profession. Amongst qualified judges who are black, the number is in the single digits, to include both men and women. By his blatantly and overt racist and sexist selection criteria, Biden has excluded over 97% of the qualified candidate pool, thus essentially guaranteeing that we are not getting the absolutely best judge that can be chosen for the supreme court. His selection criteria automatically excludes all Whites, Hispanics, Irish, Italian, German, Swedish, Native Americans, Koreans, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Hawaiians, Alaskan Natives, Puerto Ricans, Filipinos, Indians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Laotians, Samoans, etc, etc, not to mention Black Men. This is how a sexist and racist choice, which runs counter to American values and current federal laws, diminishes our supreme court and/or any other institution for which it is the basis of selection. Case in point: see current VP. If this nominee had honor and integrity, she would decline for being chosen based on her skin color (racism) and the fact that she has a vagina (sexism). .
id have answered "Are you asking the biological, cultural, or philisophical definition? Like there is philisophical debate over what a man is, like would a real man who had millions depending on him in a crisis go on vacation?"
This woman is so out of touch.. sounds like REALITY TESTING could be a reasonable option.
INABILITY. UNABLE... .
What does this say about her birth mother?! Or she doesn't know the definition of a mother?
Uh, the 🥔 said he was going to nominate a black WOMAN. So according to Jackson she can’t define a woman so could a man who thinks he is a woman have filled this spot? So if she is not sure how to define a woman is she really a woman then?
Wow
affirmative action will someday with good fortune be long gone.
We think that she should not be allowed on the us supreme court when she does not know what a woman is!
The end of sanity in this place is nigh. Wait and watch.
Why do they hide behind 'I'm not able to answer that?'
Gosh..! If Ketanji stays that way floating trying to dodge reality she would be a disaster! She should not forget that she had gone thru higher learning and just wanted to strip away those because of the definition of the woman. Huh..! What blow of her integrity?!!
TED owns this women ??????
No way! T pool all day called this hahaha good job senator for paying attention
I highly doubted she can be a judge with that kind of irrational thinking.
Why can't "We The People" chose who gets to be on the supreme court??
And why the hell do the need life terms??
Doesn't sound like she could do the job if she's elected
Wow! I found a clip where the comments on Judge Jackson content aren't turned off.
She's sickening to hear, just so much pitter patter around her truth
She said um 100 times
Trust me, it isn't that complicated.
Here is where you see even the smartest person or educated person answer foolishly to avoid humiliation to admit their wrong.
I figured it out... These hearings are about "dancing" around the question..as questions can be as clear still won't pin themselves down to answering. This is about "recross"... You know who a women is when it comes to you mom and the congress woman but no where else..talk about positioning oneself to your political party.
*AMERICA, YOU DESERVE THIS.*
