Blackburn challenges Jackson to define ‘woman’ in Supreme Court transgender sports cases

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit also concluded that the law discriminates on the basis of sex, because only the athletes on women’s and girl’s teams are subjected “to invasive sex verification procedures to implement the law.”
West Virginia adopted its law protecting women’s sports in 2021 but was sued by the mother of a now 15-year-old male student who identifies as female and who has taken puberty blockers and hormone therapy. 


The Absolute Absurdity of Ketanji Brown Jackson – RedState     "A lot has been said over the years about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson being the most intellectually void member of the Supreme Court in history. Tuesday was a reminder that it hasn't been nearly enough. 

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Little v. Hecox and another case involving whether states can limit "transgender" participation in women's sports. As expected, Jackson led the way in producing viral moments, once again stating she's "not a biologist" while uttering the word, and I use that term lightly, "cis-ginger." . .. 

Washington Examiner   "Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) renewed her criticism of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Tuesday as the Supreme Court heard arguments over whether states can enforce sex-based rules in school sports.

"In a radio interview, Blackburn referenced Jackson’s past refusal to define the word “woman” during her 2022 confirmation hearings, suggesting the issue remains relevant as the court considers cases involving transgender athletes.

“ 'I think it’ll be interesting to see if today she says she has no opinion because she’s not a biologist,” Blackburn said in the radio interview.

"The Supreme Court is reviewing laws from Idaho and West Virginia that prohibit transgender athletes who identify as girls from competing on girls’ and women’s sports teams. The cases center on whether those policies violate Title IX and the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause." . . .


The Morning Briefing: Ketanji Brown Jackson Is a Painful Reminder of Biden's Lunacy  . . . "Now we have the worst Supreme Court justice in history involved in what will be a very important decision. That's a double shot of awful from the Biden legacy. 

"The worst part about the whole Ketanji Brown Jackson situation is that she's just 55 years old, which is fairly young in SCOTUS justice years. She could be around for a very long time, reminding us of the Biden wrecking ball. If the Dems ever do manage to flip the court while she's on it, we're all headed to the gulag." . . .

Justice Alito Obliterates Trans Ideology Effortlessly in Oral Arguments 

. . . "For instance, when transgender activists are asked a simple question — “What is a woman?” — the response is usually a circular word salad claiming that “a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.” Using a word to define itself explains nothing, and that logical void is exactly what Alito went after, exposing how much of this ideology collapses under basic scrutiny.

"How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection purposes?" Alito asked Hartnett.

"And Hartnett's response was as telling as it was moronic." . . .
