Whitlock: By not defining woman, Ketanji Brown Jackson defines herself as do-what-thou-wilt activist

You don’t need to be a biologist to define the word woman. Common sense paired with a commitment to truth will do the trick.

Ketanji Brown Jackson, Joe Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court, either lacks common sense or veracity. The absence of either should disqualify her from a seat on the court.

Tuesday evening, during Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn asked the nominee about a 1996 Supreme Court ruling that struck down Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the majority opinion, which stated that physical differences between men and women are enduring and that the two sexes are not fungible.

Blackburn asked Jackson if she agreed with Ginsburg’s assessment of men and women. After a pregnant pause, Jackson responded: “Senator, respectfully, I’m not familiar with that particular quote or case, so it’s hard for me to comment.”
