A bit of a switch there.

 

The accusation was Marsha Blackburn is far right.

 

Slipping in a bit of obfuscation about the GOP.

"Folks" getting upset is why she ducked the question. It would have made no difference to the senate vote. At least she didn't lie to senators about her voting intentions.

Not answering a question, when you know the answer , can be considered to be lying

Meeting a nazi from a foreign country does make you far right. Why did you leave that point out? Do you consider it irrelevant that she went to a foreign country to meet with a known nazi leader?

That is not true . 

She did not meet a known "nazi leader"

Anyway, its off topic and stop trying to change the topic

It was an unwarranted distraction tossed into the appointment hearing by a rightwinger wishing to grandstand the ‘culture wars’ that have gripped the GOP.

 

Totally irrelevant to her position on tge SCOTUS Bench.

Yes but the trumpists and other adjacent right wing flotsam and jetsam eat that stuff up. They usually don't care so much about policy, but CULTURE WARS trumps.

Its a very relevant question for a potential supreme Court Judge .

In future there may be a Court case about wither transgender men can compete in Woman's sports event and her views on what a Woman is would be extremely relevant to the case

They are definitely a far right wing party now with a focus on white nationalism, white resentment, opposition to LGBT. anti voting rights for poor and minorities, opposition to abortion rights, almost no gun control,  in favor of insurrectionist Trump's big lie, pro authoritarian and anti democracy. They aren't a Mitt Romney party anymore -- not for a long time already.

Its actually called "Lying by omission" .

A lie of omission is when you deliberately withhold information (after being asked)

Totally agree and the fact she wouldn't answer the simple question, because of not to upset some folks, raises a big question mark.

No it’s not.

 

‘Equal Justice Under The Law’ must by the very nature of the statement be blind to matters of Gender.

 

Regardless of gender all are entitled to equal Justice.

True.

The issue with trans women athletes is a matter of balancing the rights of the trans women with the rights of the cis women. As a credible argument can be made that trans women have an unfair biological advantage, the clear trend for that issue is excluding trans women from competition.

It’s also totally off topic.

 

Has anybody evidence that Justice Brown Jackson is not qualified for the job?

You're right. Another member said definition of a woman would matter in a trans athlete case and it really wouldn't. So I addressed that.

 

Of course the new justice is immensely qualified. 

[Jingthing]

No fault of her own but sadly Justice Brown Jackson enters an ILLEGITIMATE court thanks to the dirty tricks of McConnell and Trump to install two radical far right wing justices. Trump's third radical far right pick was done honestly.

Quote

 

On June 24, the Supreme Court's smallest-possible majority struck down the long-standing Roe v. Wade ruling, which had for five decades guaranteed a right to access abortion. It was a rare instance of the court -- whose transformative power on society stretches back to the early 19th century -- restricting rights it had previously extended via the Constitution.

Roe's reversal was partly possible because of the votes of the court's three most recent justices, all of whom were appointed for life by President Donald Trump -- himself elected by a minority of the population though he lost the popular vote -- and confirmed by Senate Republicans representing roughly 43 percent of the country.

If there is a future Court case where a known male sex offender was caught acting suspiciously inside a public Womans toilet and he was asked to give an explanation as to why he was in a Womans toilet .

  He could just say "I'm a Woman and have every right to be in a Womans toilet" and would she, as a Judge accept that excuse ?

Again, it is not!

It was just an obnoxious baiting showboating for right wing media question by an obnoxious culture wars far right wing republican, and she responded properly by not being baited! Smart lady but we already knew that.

So sex offenders that attack women are only male or transgender?

Would it be a different problem if this know offender was acting suspiciously in a men’s toilet? 
 

Would it be a different problem if this known offender was acting suspiciously in a mixed gender toilet?

 

What’s the issue, the known offender’s gender or the known offenders behavior?

 

How does this even get to the Supreme Court?

Nobody has the right to commit sex crimes regardless of gender.

Do people have a right to equal Justice under the law regardless of any other consideration than that they seek/face Justice?

Your assertion that there was a predisposition to pick a black woman is correct. Not ideal, but justices can play an important role as a model  to america's youth which is a positive, and it happens there are a lot of black women who are eminently qualified to do the job and she is one of them if not the best.

I was just giving an example of when it may became relevant to her views about what a Female is . 

   What about if a school had changing rooms where all the boys and girl got changed together in the same changing room and the Parents objected .

  She may come to the decision that they are all Females , so its completely lawful for them all to get changed in the same room

More hyperbole.

 

Where is this ludicrous thing happening?

It’s not and it’s ludicrous to suggest it might.

 Of course not. There have been many "not white men" chosen for the court. Doesn't bother me one way or another. My point was that it shouldn't be a factor either way for the President too.  And IF it is a factor for him, that demonstrates a character flaw that needs to be addressed.

...many "not white men" but not a single black woman in the 115 prior appointments. Were you making a similar fuss during that time or only now?

 

I do however agree that JB should have just appointed her without pre-specifying the race and gender of his appointment.
