    Seeing how polls and polling are suddenly relevant again in these parts. But I do wonder, what about the Asians?

    Interesting article as the kids these days want more options when they are taking tests.  More LGBTQ options, which I did not know was a thing a test asked?

    So if you go by demographics then you'd have 5-6 white M/F, 1-2 black, 1-2 Hispanic and 0-1 Asian as SCOTUS.

    It’s tiresome cause if these senators took their jobs seriously and ask questions to truly seek and understand we would all be better off. Instead they create sound bytes and talking points for their next election. I wish someone would call them on it every time.

    none of them would sit there and answer the types of questions they are asking.

    You have to understand that they are being loyal to their base.  I mean if they really want Roe vs Wade overturned then they of course wouldn't want someone who believed an abortion was constitutional.

    I've read what Jackson has said in some of her rulings and I like how she conducts herself.

    I've heard a couple of soundbites from this and thought it was interesting. The first one I heard was from John Kennedy. He asked Ketanji Brown, "When does life begin, in your opinion?"
    Her answer, "Senator, umm..... I..... don't know...."
     

    The other soundbite I heard was from Marsha Blackburn. She asked,  "Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?’" Ketanji replied, "Can I provide a definition? No, I can’t, not in this context, I'm not a biologist."

    Some of the biggest issues right now are abortion and transgender rights. Ketanji doesn't know when life begins and can't define a woman or she is choosing to not be honest and give legitimate answers.

    Same thing. All they care about are gotcha question soundbites regarding culture warrior bullshit to rile up people like the guy posting above me. Seems to be working!

    Culture warrior bullshit? How is asking how someone defines a woman or asking when life begins bullshit? Those are legitimate questions and considering she would be on the SCOTUS for life, those are valid questions which she either refused to answer because she didn't want to say how she really feels or she's not very smart. Obviously, she is smart.

    Same thing.... disregard valid concerns and then attack.

    Can you define a woman? How about when life begins? Are either question relevant to your job? Could you listen to two different arguments on either issue and ultimately make a decision, having been swayed by one argument or the other?

    See, this right here, is what is wrong with the Republican party in a nutshell. They are mostly not serious legislatures. They're primary interest is getting booked on Hannity or Tucker Carlson and they know these dumb gotcha questions will get the soundbite needed to get the job done. They also are keenly aware that a large base of their constituents are heavily swayed by these out of context soundbites and will use them as their basis for judging people as opposed to actually watching a boring confirmation hearing or reading about it in detail from a legitimate news source. 


    There are still a few serious people in that party, though. Good on Sasse for calling out their bullshit

    Can you define a woman? How about when life begins? Are either question relevant to your job? Could you listen to two different arguments on either issue and ultimately make a decision, having been swayed by one argument or the other?
    Neither question is relevant to my job but they are to the job she has been nominated for. Her opinion matters. Why couldn't she answer how she feels and then follow that up with the point you were making that she will hear 2 sides to an argument and then decide? She's completely refusing to answer those questions on purpose.

    Same thing. All they care about are gotcha question soundbites regarding culture warrior bullshit to rile up people like the guy posting above me. Seems to be working!
    Culture warrior bullshit? How is asking how someone defines a woman or asking when life begins bullshit? Those are legitimate questions and considering she would be on the SCOTUS for life, those are valid questions which she either refused to answer because she didn't want to say how she really feels or she's not very smart. Obviously, she is smart.

    Same thing.... disregard valid concerns and then attack.
    Can you define a woman? How about when life begins? Are either question relevant to your job? Could you listen to two different arguments on either issue and ultimately make a decision, having been swayed by one argument or the other?
    Neither question is relevant to my job but they are to the job she has been nominated for. Her opinion matters. Why couldn't she answer how she feels and then follow that up with the point you were making that she will hear 2 sides to an argument and then decide? She's completely refusing to answer those questions on purpose.

    how she feels is irrelevant to a job thats to be an impartial interpreter of the Constitution and of the arguments made by appellants to that end.

    The answers to those two questions in the forum she was asked are irrelevant. She doesn’t need to answer them. But I’m guessing you can’t either?

    This is correct. 

    These were pretty gauche questions to ask of a Supreme Court nominee, and it would not behoove any Supreme Court Justice nominee (or Supreme Court Justice, for that matter) to answer such divisive questions that are simply a matter of opinion.

    Because actually, contrary to what our own JB has written above, their opinions absolutely do NOT matter (just like everyone else on the planet, BTW); what matters for a Supreme Court Justice nominee (and a Supreme Court Justice) are their judgments/rulings. 

    And from what I've seen, Ketanji Brown Jackson's have been fairly sound.

    I'm pretty sure that those questions were not asked of the last 3 nominees by those same senators.

    They probably asked important questions like...what is your fave color and why is grass green?

    I've heard a couple of soundbites from this and thought it was interesting. The first one I heard was from John Kennedy. He asked Ketanji Brown, "When does life begin, in your opinion?"
    Her answer, "Senator, umm..... I..... don't know...."
     

    The other soundbite I heard was from Marsha Blackburn. She asked,  "Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?’" Ketanji replied, "Can I provide a definition? No, I can’t, not in this context, I'm not a biologist."

    Some of the biggest issues right now are abortion and transgender rights. Ketanji doesn't know when life begins and can't define a woman or she is choosing to not be honest and give legitimate answers.

    Those are dumb questions to ask a judge.  Political theater.
