Definitions



In the SCOTUS confirmation hearing yesterday, Senator Marsha Blackburn asked nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to define "woman." The judge refused, because defining such a generic term needs context, and even in context, there is no all-encompassing definition. By the way, the chair I'm sitting in right now has one leg and five wheels. (via Fark)

So using the logic here, a woman = a chair

That's not how logic works.

Reminds me of Bill Clinton and the meaning of "is".

It didn't take much thought to realize the question was meant for an entrapment. No matter how she answered they would use it in the conformation or later when she was on the Court when the question of transgenders came up. Except for the cries about CRT and LGBTQ some people have nothing else to talk about.
