Truly, we live in the most stupid of times. Naturally, that means asking any relevant question of Ketanji Brown Jackson, Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, is justification for wailing and moaning. In that vein, no more triggering of a moment transpired over the last week’s confirmation hearings than Sen. Marsha Blackburn asking Jackson what a woman is.
In true far-left fashion, the nominee responded that she didn’t know because she wasn’t a “biologist.” My seven-year-old can tell you what a woman is, but a person seeking a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the land can’t. It’d be hilarious if it weren’t so sad and pathetic.
As I said, though, because everything must be stupid, it has been Blackburn who has borne the brunt of scorn for even daring to challenge Jackson’s delusional worldview. This has resulted in Blackburn being threatened with death, whether serious or not.

Townhall provides a transcript of what was said, for those who can’t watch the video.
“Have you been watching these Supreme Court…,” says an unidentified voice.
“Let me tell y’all,” says another.
“She is something else,” says one, apparently speaking of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
“Let me tell y’all,” repeats one.
“I love her,” gushes another about Biden’s SCOTUS nominee.
“Can we just go set Marsha Blackburn on fire?” says one, taking the conversation in a dark direction.
Does this madman really think he is going to set Blackburn ablaze? No, I’m not that melodramatic. Sure, it technically qualifies as a death threat, but I wouldn’t expect this person to act on it.
But, what sticks out most to me is the absurdity of the whole conversation. Blackburn asked Jackson what a “woman” was. What is the significance of this question? Because a range of new laws protecting women’s sports from male participants are going to end up challenged over the next several years. One landmark case is likely to be heard by the Supreme Court.
Given that, you bet your backside that it’s incredibly relevant to understand whether Jackson has some basic understanding of what a woman is because that will be a question at the heart of how she eventually rules on any matter dealing with transgenderism. These members of school boards (and all those on the left) continue to ignore this question but it is their fault for pushing society to the place where the answer must be given. This lunacy is not Blackburn’s fault. Rather, the blame lies with those who are so far out in left-field that they can’t see home plate, proclaiming that a man can become a woman just because he says so.
Were we able to get here? It was probably years that the Republican establishment insisted the culture wars were futile and below the dignity of politics. Since the 1980s the far left has been able to promote their degeneracy unabated. It was only recently that figures like Ron DeSantis have begun to challenge the transgender indoctrination and Critical Race Theory as well as the sexualizing children.
What happens when you try to push back against people who are used to facing no resistance. They scream bloody murder, and that’s what has been happening lately. Recent headlines suggested that Jackson was treated worse than Brett Kavanaugh who was wrongly accused of gang-rape. By contrast, what’s the great sin committed by Republicans against Jackson? Ask her questions about her true record and her outlook on the world.
Blackburn shouldn’t be set on fire for asking Jackson to define what a woman is. Blackburn should be celebrated for daring to question the foolish and illogical beliefs of the Left. It’s no coincidence that the moment she did, the entire house of cards came crashing down. That’s why Blackburn is getting so much hate. It’s not because she didn’t anything wrong, but because she did something right.
