WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Reaction to Blackburn SCOTUS Questioning of Judge Jackson

March 23, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C. –  U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) questioned Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for her nomination to the Supreme Court.

 

Clay Travis, Outkick.com, “Here’s @MarshaBlackburn asking KBJ if she can define the word woman. KBJ says she can’t. This is how broken the ‘party of science’ is. They are so obsessed with transgenderism that they can’t even say what a woman is.”

 

Stephen Miller, Senior Advisor to President Trump, “How can you interpret our laws, history and Constitution for the whole country if you are unable to define ‘woman’?”

 

Philip Melanchthon Wegmann, Real Clear Politics, “Sen. Blackburn: 'Can you provide a definition for the word 'woman'?' Judge Jackson: 'I can't.'"

 

Chad Pergram, Fox News, “GOP TN Sen Blackburn asks SCOTUS nominee Jackson if she will 'define the word "woman."' Jackson says she’s not a biologist & doesn’t provide a definition.”

 

Nicholas Fondacaro, Media Research Center, “Guest co-host Lindsey Granger argues that it's fair for Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to ask about Jackson's view on CRT influence in schools since she sits on the board of one. Sunny Hostin repeatedly pushes the lie that CRT is not influencing schools.”

 

Spencer Brown, TownHall, “NEW: @MarshaBlackburn tells me 'It is stunning that someone who is seeking to be on the Supreme Court can’t provide a one sentence definition on the word woman,' following her exchange with Judge Jackson tonight.”

 

Nolan D. McCaskill, Los Angeles Times, "'I wish you could see your dad's face,' Blackburn tells KBJ. 'He beams when you talk about the things that he has taught you.'"

 

Nolan D. McCaskill, Los Angeles Times, “Worth noting Blackburn, who's pressing KBJ on abortion, is the only Republican woman on the Senate Judiciary Committee.”
