Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing is just straight-up racism!

Grilled by a group of old white men asking her:

Do you know what a woman is?
Are babies racist?
Is she an activist judge?

I mean come on! This is cast-iron confirmation that the GOP is now a White Supremacist party!😡

Although, wasn't it nice of Ted Cruz to assure her that her "dating habits" wouldn't be scrutinised. After all, what is the GOP of not the picture of graciousness and integrity?

Do you know what a woman is? This question is being asked because of men competing as women in sports.
Are babies racist? This is asked to find out her views on Critical Race Theory.
Is she an activist judge? This question was asked because she stated that she is not an Original Constructionist.

These questions are not racist. The issue is that you aren't very bright.

@HoraceGreenley These questions ARE racist. No other SCOTUS nominee would be asked such leading questions. Would a White nominee be asked about Critical Race Theory? And honestly, what sort of a stupid question is "are babies racist??" I mean come on!!

@SW-User They are not racist questions. You only think they are because you aren't smart enough to know there true intent.

@HoraceGreenley [quote]you aren't smart enough to know there true intent.[/quote]Then perhaps you can tell me their true intent:

1. What was the true intent of asking her about what a woman is? How is that pertinent to becoming a SCOTUS justice?

2. What was the true intent of asking her about critical race theory and whether babies are racist? How is that pertinent to becoming a SCOTUS justice?

3. What was the true intent of asking her whether or not she was an activist judge? I know your supposed prejudices against any non-Constructivist, but how is that pertinent to becoming a SCOTUS justice?

You were clearly part of the Senate Committee, so enlighten me...

@SW-User There are legal ramifications to understand what a woman is as they are a legally protected class. Also men claiming to be women commit crimes. If they are women, and a member of a protected class, how are those crimes adjudicated?

CRT and it's teaching in public schools has become a legal issue working its way through the courts. The issue of control over what is taught in public schools is going to end up in the Supreme Court. This question demonstrates what her opinion would be.

Activist vs non-activist judge questions are the most basic issues to be considered in confirmation hearings. The legislators need to know if judges will circumvent the legislative process and make law.

I know this is all very mysterious to you, but these are perfectly reasonable and necessary parts of conformation.

Just because you don't understand this stuff doesn't make me wrong.

My advice to you is to not vote. You lack basic understanding of how the world works. By not voting you will do the rest of us a favor.
