Biden’s Female SCOTUS Nominee Doesn’t Know What A Woman Is | Ep. 1459

Gender Evasions

Ben Shapiro critiques Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's handling of questions about gender identity during her Supreme Court nomination hearing. He argues that her inability to define "woman" reflects a broader trend of evasion among left-leaning individuals when confronted with basic questions about gender. Shapiro highlights the absurdity of needing a biologist to define such a fundamental term, suggesting that this evasion is politically motivated 1.

If a two year old could answer the question, and you cannot, this means that you are either an idiot or you are being deliberately idiotic in order to pander to the political flavor of the month.

--- Ben Shapiro

He further criticizes the trend of Supreme Court nominees avoiding direct answers to maintain political stealth, a tactic he believes undermines the transparency of the judicial nomination process 2 3.

   

CRT Controversy

The discussion on Critical Race Theory (CRT) during Jackson's hearing reveals her past engagements with CRT thinkers and the controversy surrounding its influence on her judicial philosophy. Ben Shapiro points out her previous lectures and associations with CRT proponents, questioning whether these ideas might influence her decisions on the bench 4. He argues that the left's defense of CRT as merely a legal theory is inconsistent, especially when its application in educational settings is scrutinized.

You have praised the 1619 project, which argues the US is a fundamentally racist country. And you have made clear that you believe judges must consider critical race theory when deciding how to sentence criminal defendants.

Shapiro also highlights Jackson's role on the board of a progressive school, suggesting her involvement indicates an endorsement of its educational philosophy, which includes CRT elements 5 6.

   

Media Bias

Media coverage of Jackson's nomination hearing has been polarized, with Ben Shapiro criticizing the media's defense of her as overly protective and dismissive of legitimate questions. He argues that the media's portrayal of Jackson as a centrist pragmatist ignores her affiliations with leftist ideologies and groups 7. Shapiro contends that the media's reluctance to scrutinize her beliefs reflects a broader bias in favor of progressive nominees.

It's not important at all if her critical race theory beliefs start to infuse her judicial beliefs. No, no, no.

--- Ben Shapiro

He also notes the media's tendency to label critical questions as "dog whistles," suggesting that this tactic is used to deflect from substantive discussions about a nominee's qualifications and beliefs 8.
