Gabbard Torches Biden’s SCOTUS Nominee for Not Defining What a Woman Is During Hearing

President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, has sparked backlash for refusing to define what a woman is.

Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) issued a tweet slamming Jackson, saying, “In order to have a Supreme Court committed to protecting the rights of all Americans, including women, every justice needs to understand there is such a thing as a woman, as distinct from a man.”

She added, “Yet when asked to define the word ‘woman,’ Supreme Court nominee … Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said, ‘I don’t know.’ The hypocrisy and absurdity of this is that she was nominated by President Biden in large part because she is a woman.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) responded to Gabbard’s tweet, adding, “Exactly right. The fact Judge Jackson was unable to answer the question ‘What is a woman?’ is unbelievable.”

On Wednesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) asked Jackson to provide a definition for the word woman, as IJR reported.

“I can’t,” Jackson replied.

Blackburn then asked, “You can’t?”

Jackson added, “Not in this context I’m not a biologist.”

The senator went on to tell Jackson 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.”
