Ketanji Brown Jackson explains that Black Hebrew Israelites are just ‘a cultural community around healthy living’ and vegan cuisine [video]
Let’s talk about the Black Hebrew Israelites (or African Hebrew Israelites, if ya nasty) for a second. You may remember them as the group of people who taunted and harassed Nick Sandmann and other Covington Catholic students in Washington, D.C. We wouldn’t call them a religious community, either, for what it’s worth. But they’re not just a small cultural community of hippy-dippy, friendly vegans who want to promote healthy living.

Okay, so how do we classify (legally) those with various chromosomal anomalies (XXY, XYY, etc.)? They do exist.

Broken units.
Agree 100%, any answer that she gives to this question is going to go down a rabbit hole that leads nowhere. If she gives a simple answer that females have eggs and males have sperm it’ll go old people no longer produce sperm, if she says women have xx chromosomes they’ll point out xxy chromosomes. This is just a way to drag the confirmation towards a discussion that Ted Cruz et al wants to have that has nothing to do with a SC Justice.

Anyone with an ounce of integrity - or a working brain - would not only agree it is not worse, they'd have to admit that Kavanaugh's treatment was the worst any SCOTUS nominee has ever faced.
I didn't think they'd be ashamed of what they did - but I really didn't think they all had amnesia.
It's like when a Democrat arrives at the White House - and the press actually thinks they treated the previous Republican POLITELY.
How Can Ketanji Brown Jackson Rule In Sex Discrimination Cases If She Can’t Define ‘Woman’?
At Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee asked a seemingly innocuous question: “Can you provide a definition of the word ‘woman’?”
The nominee was unable to do so.
It might seem like a question that goes more to politics than to the job of a judge, but when sex discrimination is frequently before the court — including as recently as last year in Bostock v. Clayton County — it behooves a judge to have some inkling about what “sex” means.
Blackburn’s questioning began with a reference to the 1996 case of United States v. Virginia, in which the Supreme Court struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s policy of only admitting men by a 7-1 vote, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg writing the opinion of the court. (You can watch the testimony here, beginning at about 13:10:00.) Blackburn quoted from that opinion, specifically to Ginsburg’s point that “[p]hysical differences between men and women, however, are enduring: ‘[T]he two sexes are not fungible; a community made up exclusively of one [sex] is different from a community composed of both.’”
Ted Cruz's new McCarthyism
As Jackson patiently explained, “I’ve never studied critical race theory. I’ve never used it. It doesn’t come up in the work that I do as a judge.”
That wasn’t good enough for Cruz. Mischaracterizing critical race theory as assuming a “fundamental and intractable battle between the races,” he employed the classic McCarthyite tactic of insinuating guilt by association, in this case bringing up her membership on the board of trustees of the Georgetown Day School.
To Cruz’s dismay, it appears that the venerable K-12 private school – founded in 1945 to provide integrated education, which was then prohibited in the District of Columbia’s public schools – includes lessons about race and racism in its curriculum. And that means, to the inquisitorial mind, that Jackson herself must have some sympathy for critical race theory and its supposed excesses.
To drive his point home, Cruz displayed a stack of books that his staff discovered to be either assigned or recommended at Georgetown Day School. The one he found most “astonishing” was a children’s book by Ibram X. Kendi, “Stamped for Kids,” which is on the “summer reading list” for grades three through five. Having honed his recitation skills by reading aloud from Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” during a one-man Senate filibuster, Cruz inflected appropriate alarm over a short passage from “Stamped for Children”: “Can we send white people back to Europe?”
During the confirmation hearings for President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Democrat Sen. Cory Booker was among those gushing over Ketanji Brown Jackson, and it moved her to tears. Sen. Booker was also blasting Republicans for not respecting confirmation hearing “norms,” and The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway was among those who are rolling their eyes:
