So why not just answer and make Senator Blackburn look stupid? It was an easy lay-up. Yet she balked. And it is also VERY relevant to SCOTUS. Many decisions by the Court are based on gender and gender rights. If she cannot even define what a gender is, then how can she rule on issues relating to it?

More to the point, does the Justice think that she herself is a woman? And if so, what does that mean? It was just an exercise to show how stupidly Woke people feel they have to behave in certain situations and when answering certain questions. Justice Jackson is not a stupid person. She knows very well what a woman is, and that she is one. But she also knew that there was a potential political price to be paid by answering the question, so she dodged. It was a touch cowardly, but not unexpected.

But...so what? No native American has ever been nominated either. Nor has a Cuban American, male or female. Nor an Asian American, male or female. Black people have ascended the ladders of power in the USA, from President to cabinet to the military. This was no groundbreaking, daring act. It was just political pandering at its most crass.

I would venture to say that an expat without 75k in cash should have never left home in the first place, unless they were on a VERY generous pension. But you are right, it would work for some. As would the nomadic life. Not sure what you are looking for- the mythical $400 a month apartment in an area well served by public transport, yet not crime ridden or infested?

om/resources/top-law-schools I note you’ve flipped on candidates being selected on ability. Depends on the website you read. I have seen Harvard ranked as low as 5th, behind Stanford, Columbia, and U of Chicago. I do worry that religion and academic pedigree are factors that limit the Court to a far greater extent than race or sex. Not sure what you mean about flipping on ability. Care to explain?
