The New Justice
Major media are gushing with news that the U.S. Senate has confirmed the first black woman in history to the nation’s highest court, the blatant racism and sexism of that statement notwithstanding. They praise Joe Biden for fulfilling his overtly discriminatory campaign pledge to make race and sex primary considerations in seeking a replacement, should a vacancy occur in the Supreme Court.
Biden’s chance arrived as Clinton-appointed Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, the court’s oldest member, conveniently announced his retirement before the midterm elections this year. Breyer’s former clerk, Ketanji Brown Jackson, fit the mold. She was one of several black women considered; anyone male, Caucasian, or Asian, no matter how capable or deserving, was disqualified on the basis of race and sex.
The supreme irony of Biden’s pick is that Jackson is a woman who declares herself unable to define exactly what a woman is. During Senate confirmation hearings in March when Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) asked Jackson if she could provide a definition for the word “woman,” the 51-year-old federal judge answered, “No, I can’t…. I’m not a biologist,” in a gratuitous salute to the contemporary sexual perversion euphemistically excused as gender dysphoria. Eagle Forum stated that her dodge “leads us to believe that she will rule in favor of broadening that definition, allowing biological men to insert themselves into women’s private spaces, domestic abuse shelters, and sports.”
