I cringed when Justice Jackson couldn't/wouldn't answer the question
"what is a woman" in a straightforward way but claimed it to be a
complex question. She's the exact OPPOSITE of the kind of person who
should be a Justice.

You know what was going on. The Senator wanted a video clip to put onto
social media after hearing. She refused to cooperate.

It wasn't a legal question, nor does the word "woman" require a legal
definition in statutory law.

Gorsuch, the textualist, wrote the opinion for the majority in Bostock
vs. Clayton County (combined with two other cases) in 2020 that Title
VII protects gays and transgender from employment discrimination "on the
basis of sex" because that's the statutory language, without considering
the original intent of the drafters of the bill.

You think Gorsuch should have explained the meaning of "sex" at his
confirmation hearing?
