CNN anchor Don Lemon and co-anchor Kaitlan Collins expressed their shock that highly intelligent contestants appearing on “Jeopardy!” didn’t know who Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s nominee who became the first black woman on the Supreme Court, was.
The two co-anchors were discussing with fellow co-anchor Poppy Harlow clues that have elicited criticism on “Jeopardy!” including this week’s clue that featured the murderer of Gabby Petito, Brian Laundrie. They showed a clip from a show earlier in November in which host Ken Jennings prompted, “She&#8217;s the first Black woman on the Supreme Court and the first justice to have been a federal public defender.”
After none of the contestants offered an answer, Jennings informed them, “That&#8217;s Justice Jackson &#8212; Ketanji Brown Jackson.”
At first Collins sympathized with the contestants, contending, “I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s that surprising, I will say. A lot of people don&#8217;t know who is on the Supreme Court.”
But then Lemon corrected her: “These are &#8212; but these are smart people, though. These are — I mean, when you go on ‘JEOPARDY!’ —&#8221;
“It&#8217;s a good point,” Collins then conceded.
“When you go on ‘JEOPARDY!’  I — look, if you were —” Lemon sputtered.
“She was just confirmed,” Harlow added.
Now Collins was on board: “She&#8217;s been in the news so much.”
“She&#8217;s been in the news,” Harlow parroted.
“If you&#8217;re standing outside of a mall or whatever and people may not know — when they do the man on the street thing,” Lemon began.
“Yes,” Collins echoed.
“But when you&#8217;re smart enough to be a contestant on ‘JEOPARDY!’&#8221; Lemon insisted.
“You&#8217;ve got to know about current events, too, on &#8216;JEOPARDY!&#8217;” Collins declared.
“And history-making ones,” Harlow chimed in.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy slammed Jackson last May for her refusal to condemn the leak of the draft of the Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization. The opinion ultimately repealed Roe v. Wade, and the leak generated headlines world-wide. McCarthy also ripped Jackson for eschewing to condemn the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftist-activists-demonstrate-outside-justice-alitos-virginia-home">protests</a> outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has joined the ranks of leftist women glamorously featured on the pages of Vogue magazine.
Like First Lady Jill Biden and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Jackson was photographed by Vogue&#8217;s Annie Leibovitz, whose most recent project focused on Ukraine&#8217;s First Lady Olena Zelenska.
The photographs show Jackson posing at the Lincoln Memorial dressed in an a brown Aliétte coat. In one of the photos, she leans against a pillar and gazes up at Lincoln&#8217;s second inaugural address etched on the wall.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Leibovitz also photographed singer Rihanna for Vogue in April, actress Olivia Wilde in December 2021, and former Hilary Clinton adviser Huma Abedin in October 2021.
Vogue has also featured Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Kamala Harris on its cover, but abstained from featuring former First Lady Melania Trump, First Lady Laura Bush, or First Lady Barbara Bush, or any of Trump&#8217;s high profile female press secretaries on its cover.
“They’re biased and they have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious,&#8221; Melania Trump <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/melania-trump-slams-vogue-for-putting-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-on-the-cover-but-not-her">said of Vogue</a> in an interview after she left the White House. &#8220;And I think American people and everyone sees it. It was their decision, and I have much more important things to do — and I did in the White House — than being on the cover of Vogue.&#8221; 
Asked why she is overtly partisan in featuring Democratic women over Republican women on the magazine&#8217;s cover, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/melania-trump-slams-vogue-for-putting-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-on-the-cover-but-not-her">said in 2019</a> that she felt she must stand up for what she believes.
“If you’re talking about the first lady [Michelle Obama] or Senator [Kamala] Harris, obviously these are women that we feel are icons and inspiring to women from a global perspective,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;I also feel even more strongly now that this is not a time to try — and I think one has to be fair, one has to look at all sides — but I don’t think it’s a moment not to take a stand,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I think you can’t be everything to everybody and I think it’s a time that we live in a world, as you would well know, of fake news … [and] those of us that work at Conde Nast believe that you have to stand up for what you believe in and you have to take a point of view.”
Wintour, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire, neglected to speak about Melania Trump as the first lady in a July 2019 podcast interview where she was asked to name something in Trump&#8217;s wardrobe that she admires.
“Well, I think First Lady Michelle Obama was really so incredible in every decision she made about fashion,&#8221; Wintour <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/melania-trump-slams-vogue-for-putting-hillary-clinton-michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-on-the-cover-but-not-her">responded</a>, pivoting from Trump. &#8220;She supported young American designers. She supported designers, indeed, from all over the world. She was the best ambassador this country could possibly have, in many ways, obviously way beyond fashion&#8230; ”
“But she’s not the First Lady now,&#8221; Wintour&#8217;s interviewer reminded the Vogue editor-in-chief. &#8220;What about the one you have now?”
Wintour finished: “And for me, she is the example I admire.&#8221;

Recently retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer landed a new job late last week following his 42 years serving as a federal judge.
Breyer is returning to his alma mater, Harvard University, where he has been named the Byrne Professor of Administrative Law and Process at Harvard Law School, effective immediately.
The school said in a statement that Breyer will &#8220;teach seminars and reading groups, continue to write books and produce scholarship, and participate in the intellectual life of the school.&#8221;
John F. Manning, the Morgan and Helen Chu Dean and Professor of Law, called Breyer a &#8220;historic jurist and a world-class legal scholar who also has a distinguished history as a member of this faculty.&#8221;
&#8220;I am thrilled to welcome him home to Harvard Law School,&#8221; Manning added. &#8220;His brilliance, experience, collegiality, openness, and intellectual inquisitiveness will deeply enrich our community and advance our mission of teaching, scholarship, and service.&#8221;
Breyer said in a statement that he was happy to return to the school and he looks forward to teaching and writing.
“Among other things, I will likely try to explain why I believe it important that the next generations of those associated with the law engage in work, and take approaches to law, that help the great American constitutional experiment work effectively for the American people,” he said.
News broke back in January that Breyer would be stepping down from his role on the nation&#8217;s highest court, which subsequently gave Democrat President Joe Biden his first chance to nominate a Supreme Court justice.
Biden wasted no time in creating controversy during his selection process, stating that he would effectively discriminate by making a selection based on sex and race.
“The person I nominate to replace Justice Breyer will be someone with extraordinary qualifications. Character, experience, and integrity,” Biden said at the time. “And they will be the first black woman nominated to the United States Supreme Court.”
Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the nation&#8217;s highest court and after surviving her confirmation hearings, she was sworn in last month.
“With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and administering justice without fear or favor, so help me God,” Jackson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ketanji-brown-jackson-sworn-in-as-supreme-court-justice">said</a> in a statement. “I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation.”
“I extend my sincerest thanks to all of my new colleagues for their warm and gracious welcome,” she continued.

ABC News&#8217; &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; was forced to issue a correction Thursday afternoon after they falsely claimed that Ketanji Brown Jackson was the first black person to be sworn in as a Supreme Court justice.
&#8220;Ketanji Brown Jackson is sworn in as the first black Supreme Court justice in U.S. history,&#8221; the show tweeted.
The first black Supreme Court justice was Thurgood Marshall, who joined the Court in 1967. The second black Supreme Court justice was Clarence Thomas, who still serves on the Court.
&#8220;CORRECTION: Video shows Ketanji Brown Jackson sworn in as the first Black female Supreme Court justice in U.S. history,&#8221; the show later said in a separate tweet. &#8220;A previous tweet erroneously stated Jackson is the first Black Supreme Court justice.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The tweet generated widespread backlash and mockery online, including the following notable responses:
<ul>
<li>Mike Cernovich, political commentator: &#8220;The left’s racism means they don’t consider conservatives such as Justice Thomas as black, and their historical ignorance means they don’t know who Thurgood Marshall was.&#8221;</li>
<li>Ed Morrissey, Hot Air: &#8220;Clarence Thomas and the ghost of Thurgood Marshall say hi, @GMA. Layers of fact checkers and editors.&#8221;</li>
<li>Liz Wolfe, Reason: &#8220;lol how have they left this completely wrong tweet up for four whole hours?”</li>
<li>Vernon Jones, former political candidate: &#8220;This is how far liberals and the liberal media will go to lie about Black History! She’s not the first Black #SCOTU. Can you imagine how many lies they have told and people believed it? Where are fact checkers when you need them? @GMA&#8221;</li>
<li>Steve Herman, VOA News: &#8220;Only if you ignore Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas.&#8221;</li>
<li>Sean Davis, The Federalist: &#8220;I guess Clarence Thomas and Thurgood Marshall aren&#8217;t black enough for the woke white interns at Good Morning America.&#8221;</li>
<li>Frank Fleming, The Daily Wire: &#8220;They probably meant to say &#8216;first black woman&#8217; and then realized they never had a biologist confirm that.&#8221;</li>

Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday was sworn in as a United States Supreme Court Justice, the first black woman to ascend to the highest court in the land.
The 51-year-old&#8217;s swearing-in came minutes after Justice Stephen Breyer officially <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/justice-stephen-breyer-reveals-when-he-will-retire-from-scotus">retired</a>. He had served on the court for almost 28 years.
Like Breyer, Jackson is a liberal jurist, and liberal activist groups and lawmakers heralded her nomination and her confirmation to the court as a massive victory.
&#8220;With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and administering justice without fear or favor, so help me God,&#8221; Jackson <a href="https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/ketanji-brown-jackson-supreme-court-swearing-in/index.html">said in a statement</a> on Thursday. &#8220;I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation.&#8221;
&#8220;I extend my sincerest thanks to all of my new colleagues for their warm and gracious welcome,&#8221; she continued.
The new justice described Breyer as a &#8220;personal friend and mentor&#8221; and thanked him for his guidance.
&#8220;In the wake of his exemplary service,&#8221; she concluded, &#8220;with the support of my family and friends, and ever mindful of the duty to promote the Rule of Law, I am well-positioned to serve the American people.&#8221;
Like most recent Supreme Court nominees, Jackson&#8217;s confirmation hearings were marked by a serious and at times contentious examination of her judicial record.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hawley-biden-scotus-nominee-has-a-pattern-of-letting-child-porn-offenders-off-the-hook">had raised concerns</a> in March that Jackson’s record demonstrates that she “has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes.” The senator&#8217;s warning prompted Republicans to call for a full investigation of her past rulings, and Jackson was heavily questioned about her stances during her confirmation hearings.
Jackson&#8217;s confirmation to the Court was <a href="https://demandjustice.org/ketanji-brown-jackson/">backed by Demand Justice</a>, an organization that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/smear-campaign-leftist-activists-seek-to-intimidate-justices-control-the-court-experts-say">reportedly has ties</a> to the influential progressive dark money group <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/11/arabella-advisors-money-democrats/620553/">Arabella Advisors</a>, which advocates for court-packing and has repeatedly orchestrated campaigns attempting to sway the justices on high-profile cases.
When the draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked in May, Demand Justice Executive Director Brian Fallon praised the unprecedented leak, <a href="https://twitter.com/brianefallon/status/1521377663134453760">saying</a>, “SCOTUS leaks are good. Elite lawyers on both the left and right treating the Court as precious all these years have just been giving cover to an institution that is wholly unaccountable. Rip the veil off.”
This sentiment was <a href="https://twitter.com/brianefallon/status/1521296266264817667">echoed</a> in a tweet from the day before, “All Democrats need to show the same urgency as the clerk who apparently risked his or her career to sound this alarm,” he urged. “Those on the inside know best how broken the institution is. We should listen.”
Demand Justice <a href="https://demandjustice.org/demand-justice-launches-breyer-retire-push-on-anniversary-of-stevens-retirement/">launched</a> an April 2021 campaign to pressure Breyer to step down and make way for the first black female Supreme Court justice (Jackson<a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/547355-progressive-group-ramps-up-pressure-on-justice-breyer-to-retire?rl=1"> was already considered</a> the top candidate at the time).
Fallon, a former top aide to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/547448-biden-will-let-breyer-decide-when-to-retire-aide-says/">insisted</a> in April 2021 that it was “worrisome that Justice Breyer has not said yet that he will step down,” according to The Hill.
The group’s campaign for Breyer to retire was accompanied by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/14/stephen-breyer-retirement-supreme-court-481197">pressure</a> from Democratic politicians, including <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/biden-judicial-nominees-supreme-court-breyer/2021/04/23/eb770fec-a2fc-11eb-85fc-06664ff4489d_story.html">Sen.

And when Breyer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/highly-unusual-new-development-on-supreme-court-justice-stephen-breyers-retirement-raises-questions">finally announced</a> his retirement in January, Demand Justice’s Supreme Court blog <a href="https://ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/stephen-breyer-retiring-huzzah/">published</a> a piece that credited Breyer’s retirement to being “shamed by your tweets.”
“It has been my great honor to participate as a judge in the effort to maintain our Constitution and the Rule of Law,” Breyer <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/press/2022-06-29_SGB_Letter.pdf">said</a> in a Wednesday letter addressed to Biden.
“This past January, I wrote to inform you of my intent to retire from regular active service as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, upon the Court rising for its summer recess,” he wrote.
“You have nominated and the United States Senate has confirmed the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson to succeed me in the office, and I understand that she is prepared to take the prescribed oaths to begin her service as the 116th member of this Court.”

&#8220;I don’t have any comment,&#8221; she responded.
“I can’t answer that,” <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/im-not-a-biologist-supreme-court-nominee-says-she-cant-define-the-word-woman/">Jackson</a> added, asked if leaking the draft opinion “was a good thing or a bad thing.”

Future Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was recently seen applauding New Zealand&#8217;s ban on semi-automatic long guns, which <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/after-mosque-attacks-new-zealands-gun-buyback-runs-into-an-obstacle-gun-owners/2019/12/20/b4071106-208f-11ea-b034-de7dc2b5199b_story.html">included</a> a &#8220;mandatory government buyback,&#8221; during a commencement speech at Harvard University.
Jackson applauded the remarks from leftist New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern&#8217;s commencement speech immediately after Arden championed her government &#8220;banning military-style semi-automatics and assault rifles.&#8221;

The future far-left Supreme Court justice refused to condemn the recent Roe v. Wade leak from the Supreme Court and refused to condemn far-left activists harassing conservative justices at their homes during an interview with The Washington Post.
The excerpt from Jackson&#8217;s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/05/16/ketanji-brown-jackson-interview/">interview</a> contains the following exchange:
<blockquote>Q: What was your response when you when you saw the draft leak [of a Supreme Court opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade]?
A: Everybody who is familiar with the court and the way in which it works was shocked by that. Such a departure from normal order.
Q: Do you think it was a good thing or a bad thing?
A: I can’t answer that.
Q: What do you think about peaceful protests outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes?
A: I don’t have any comment.</blockquote>
Democrat President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-claims-gun-control-not-about-taking-away-rights-before-listing-ways-he-wants-to-take-away-rights">called for enacting more restrictions on the Second Amendment</a> in response to the Uvalde shooting during a speech he gave last week.
“This isn’t about taking away anyone’s rights,” Biden claimed before rattling off a list of ways that he wanted to take away people’s Second Amendment rights.
Biden called for banning semi-automatic long guns, which are extremely popular in the United States, banning what he claimed were “high-capacity magazines,” enacting red flag laws that strip Americans of due process, and going after gun manufacturers.
“We need to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines,” Biden said. “And if we can’t ban assault weapons, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21, strengthen the background checks.”
Raising the age needed to buy firearms would not have stopped nine of the 10 worst mass shootings in U.S. history as all of the shooters, except for two, were 21-years-old or older. Of the two shooters who were under 21, one of them, the man responsible for the Sandy Hook shooting, stole the weapons that he used from his parents.
Biden politicized recent tragedies to attack Republican lawmakers while his administration has struggled to manage numerous crises that have erupted under his leadership, including the crisis at the southern border, baby formula shortage, skyrocketing inflation, soaring fuel costs, and so on.
Biden’s call for restricting the rights of law abiding Americans comes as his own son, Hunter Biden, has been accused of committing a felony by lying on a background check form to illegally purchase a firearm.
“Hunter Biden lied on a Form 4473 to illegally purchase a gun, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison &amp; a $250K fine,” attorney Arthur Schwartz tweeted. “His girlfriend then dumped that gun in the trash next to a school. He wasn’t even arrested. Why don’t we enforce existing laws before demanding new ones?”

Future <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ketanji-brown-jackson">U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson</a>&#8216;s refusal to condemn the leak of an explosive draft of the high court&#8217;s pending abortion opinion or the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftist-activists-demonstrate-outside-justice-alitos-virginia-home">ongoing protests</a> outside the homes of jurists falls between &#8220;cowardly&#8221; and &#8220;sinister,&#8221; according to former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy.
Jackson, who is set to replace retiring <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stephen-breyer">Justice Stephen Breyer</a> after the current term ends, was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/05/16/ketanji-brown-jackson-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-testid="standard-link">interviewed by the Washington Post</a>. When asked about the leak of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/samuel-alito">Justice Samuel Alito</a>’s draft opinion and related protests at the Washington-area homes of  justices expected to vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case determining a federal right to abortion, she demurred.
&#8220;I can’t answer that,&#8221; Jackson answered when asked if leaking the draft opinion &#8220;was a good thing or a bad thing.&#8221;
When asked what she thought about the ongoing protests outside the homes of Alito and fellow justices Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Chief Justice John Roberts, who did not sign the draft opinion, Jackson was equally oblique.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t have any comment,&#8221; she said.
McCarthy, also a Fox News contributor, was scathing in his criticism of Jackson&#8217;s refusal to take a position in a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/judge-jackson-wont-say-dobbs-leak-is-wrong-and-wont-object-to-protests-at-her-soon-to-be-colleagues-homes/">National Review column</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;This ranges from somewhere between cowardly and sinister, much like the failure of the justices to issue a joint statement that echoes the chief justice’s condemnation of the leak and statement of determination to identify the leaker, and that condemns <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/dojs-silence-on-the-lefts-lawless-intimidation-of-supreme-court-justices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-testid="dynamic-link">the protests, which violate federal law</a>,&#8221; McCarthy wrote.
Roberts has ordered an internal investigation into the leak of the opinion in a case called Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization. The case challenges the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi state law that bans most abortion operations after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. The draft opinion not only rules in favor of the state law, but overturns Roe v. Wade and the 1992 case Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which affirmed the federal right to abortion.
The final decision could come anytime within the next month or so. But the leak touched off widespread  pro-abortion protests at both the U.S. Supreme Court and at the homes of justices. The Biden administration has encouraged the protests, but <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/psaki-on-peaceful-protests-at-supreme-court-justices-homes-we-certainly-continue-to-encourage-that">called for demonstrators to remain peaceful</a>.
Attorney General Merrick Garland last week ordered the U.S. Marshal Service to provide additional security protections to Supreme Court justices. Garland acted as Virginia Gov.

While most Democrats have been silent on the protests outside the homes of jurists, Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Illinois), has called them &#8220;reprehensible.&#8221;

Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Refusal To Condemn SCOTUS Leak, Protests At Justices’ Homes ‘Sinister’ Says Ex-Federal Prosecutor

Ketanji Brown Jackson's Refusal To Condemn SCOTUS Leak, Protests At Justices' Homes 'Sinister' Says Ex-Federal Prosecutor

Roe v. Wade's Long And Brutal Legacy

When Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson sat before a select Senate committee charged with determining whether her nomination to the Supreme Court would move forward, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) asked her this simple question: “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?”
“I can’t —” Judge Jackson began before an incredulous Blackburn cut her off with, “You can’t?”
“Not in this context. I’m not a biologist,” Jackson said.
“The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?” Blackburn asked. “The fact that you can’t give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about.”
Judge Jackson was, of course, just posturing. The Federalist <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/03/23/if-ketanji-brown-jackson-doesnt-know-what-a-woman-is-why-does-she-use-the-word-so-much/">noted</a> that she had referenced women 14 times during the first two days of her hearings, adding that there were 34 instances in her legal opinions as a judge in which she used the word.
But it’s in vogue these days not to know what a woman is.
The next day, defending Jackson, the liberal USA Today <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2022/03/24/marsha-blackburn-asked-ketanji-jackson-define-woman-science/7152439001/">said</a> “a competent biologist would not be able to offer a definitive answer either. Scientists agree there is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman, and with billions of women on the planet, there is much variation.”
Let’s pause here and just insert the definition of “woman” from Merriam-Webster Dictionary: “an adult female person.” Well, that wasn’t so hard. But on we go.
This new wordplay isn’t new, by the way. Liberals, courting the LGBTQ vote, have long refused to define, well, just about anything.
In a 2021 House spending bill, Democrats invented a new term: “birthing” individuals. The bill avoided silly terms like “mother,” instead referring to “pregnant, lactating, and postpartum individuals.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) apparently didn’t get the memo. Raging against the Texas pro-life Heartbeat Act, she called women “women,” but then remembered not to, later referring to “people who give birth” and “any menstruating person.”
Then Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) created more controversy on social media when she, too, referred to “birthing people.”
“Every day, Black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don’t believe our pain,” she wrote on Twitter. What followed was not pretty.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) codified the whole mess, introducing a resolution calling for the elimination of gendered terms (forget that the California Democrat still had the terms “mother” and “grandmother” in her Twitter bio).
The resolution changed “pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender-neutral or removes references to gender, as appropriate, to ensure we are inclusive of all Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners and their families — including those who are nonbinary,” her announcement said.
NBC News jumped into the fray with a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/trans-dads-tell-doctors-you-can-be-man-have-baby-n1006906">piece</a> headlined, “Trans dads tell doctors: ‘You can be a man and have a baby.’”
“There is no data on how many transgender men and nonbinary people give birth in the United States each year, because medical systems track them as female, but experts believe the numbers are likely higher than many would expect,” the news outlet reported.
The New York Times (of course) went further, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/24/opinion/sexuality-gender.html">saying</a>, how can we really know how many genders there really are? In fact, way back in 2014, Facebook “introduced dozens of options for users to identify their gender today — and although the social media giant said it would not be releasing a comprehensive list, ABC News has found at least 58 so far,” the network reported.
But suddenly, Democrats and liberals have found the meaning of the word “woman.” You’ll hear it everywhere, sometimes in a sentence like, “women will be forced into back alleys with court hangers when the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.”
A leak from within the Supreme Court last week passed to Politico quoted Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito as saying, “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start” and that “we hold that Roe … must be overruled.”
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” Alito added. “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision.”
With the leak, “a woman’s right to choose” is now all liberals talk about. Not birthing individuals, not men, but women. Now, the word carries political power: Half of Americans are, after all, women. Choice — by women, mind you — will be on the ballot this November, and more than likely in November 2024.
Funny, as it turns out, soon-to-be Justice Jackson actually knew what the word meant when she told senators she couldn’t offer a definition. She said in her confirmation hearing that Roe is “the settled law of the Supreme Court concerning the right to terminate a woman’s pregnancy.”
While the Supreme Court leak opened up a whole new can of worms, at least it accomplished one thing: We now know that liberals actually do know the definition of the word “woman.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson&#8217;s confirmation to the Supreme Court had evoked an emotional response from many within President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration.
Psaki joined anchor Dana Perino — who also once served as a White House press secretary under former President George W. Bush — on &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; to discuss the news of the past week, and Perino made a point to highlight Jackson&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-claims-ketanji-brown-jackson-was-put-through-verbal-abuse-anger-and-most-vile-baseless-assertions-and-accusations/">successful confirmation</a> in the Senate.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Jen Psaki responds to Jackson confirmation" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nj-ck7yyOgA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;I worked on two Supreme Court nominations myself,&#8221; Perino began. &#8220;I know they are very rewarding, especially when they result in a way that this one did.&#8221;
&#8220;This was a significant accomplishment for President Biden. Ketanji Brown Jackson is now going to be a Supreme Court Justice. Take a listen to one of the segments of her speech that was very touching.&#8221;
&#8220;In the poetic words of Dr. Maya Angelou, &#8216;I do so now while bringing the gifts my ancestors gave. I am the dream and the hope of the slave,'&#8221; Jackson said, to cheers and applause from the audience.
&#8220;Can you give us any, peel back the curtain, what was it like with her and President Biden behind the scenes?&#8221; Perino asked.
&#8220;It was — as you know, Dana, him from working on these in the past, it was a very emotional day in the White House, a joyful day, and there are so many days in the White House — no matter who you work for that are exhausting and heartbreaking and challenging because there aren’t easy answers to hard problems sometimes — but this was an incredibly joyful day, a day we celebrated, a day many of us were ugly crying on the White House South Lawn, just celebrating this remarkable woman who is making history but she is also so qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, so it was really a day I will remember for a long time to come,&#8221; Psaki replied.
&#8220;And she will take over after Breyer finishes up this summer,&#8221; Perino concluded. &#8220;Jen, thank you, thank you for the time this morning.&#8221;
Jackson was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-3-gop-senators-break-ranks-vote-to-confirm-ketanji-brown-jackson-to-supreme-court/">confirmed</a> on Thursday in a 53-47 vote. Three Republican Senators — Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted in her favor along with all 50 Democratic Senators.
A number of the Republicans who voted against Jackson&#8217;s confirmation — including Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/wouldnt-you-want-to-deter-people-lindsey-graham-grills-ketanji-brown-jackson-on-child-porn-cases/">raised questions</a> during the process about <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/so-you-dont-know-abc-reporter-lays-trap-for-josh-hawley-he-snares-her-instead/">her record</a> — specifically an apparent pattern of imposing lighter-than-recommended sentences in cases involving child pornography.

‘Many Of Us Were Ugly-Crying On The White House South Lawn’: Psaki Says Jackson Confirmation Was An ‘Emotional Day’

Dana Perino

Jada Pinkett Smith has remained pretty quiet on social media following the shocking 2022 Academy Awards when her husband, Will Smith, slapped comedian Chris Rock for mocking Jada’s bald head.
However, Jada took a break from lying low to celebrate the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court this week. The “Matrix Resurrections” alum shared three images of Jackson along with the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CcD7nkkvT7W/">caption</a>, &#8220;She did it! Congrats #ketanjibrownjackson.&#8221;
One of the images celebrated President Joe Biden’s promise to nominate a black woman for the job. “Ketanji Brown Jackson is confirmed as the first Black woman and the first former public defender to serve on the Supreme Court!” the image caption says. 
The celebratory post was only the second time Jada posted anything since the slap. On March 29, the 50-year-old star <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CbsOBj6rzUB/">shared</a> a quote that said, &#8220;This is a season for healing and I&#8217;m here for it.&#8221; Jada didn’t specifically mention the Oscars, but followers seemed to believe she was alluding to moving past the incident.
Sources close to the couple told tabloids that Jada isn’t necessarily thrilled with what happened.
 “She’s not one of these women that needs protecting. He didn’t need to do what he did, she didn’t need protecting. She’s not a wallflower,” the source said, according to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jada-pinkett-smith-wishes-will-smith-didnt-slap-chris-rock/">US Weekly</a>. “She’s a strong woman, an opinionated woman and she can fight her own battles. But she will stand by him.” 
Meanwhile, Will has already apologized for overreacting to the joke. “I would also like to apologize to The Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us,” the “Men In Black” star shared on his Instagram.
Most viewers blame Will for what happened, but a decent number of people lay some of the blame at Jada’s feet. They notice how in some of the video footage from the Academy Awards, Will can be seen laughing at Rock’s joke right up until he sees Jada’s angry face, which leads to him marching up on stage and slapping the comedian.
There’s also a video circulating that shows Jada laughing after the slap happens. As The Daily Wire originally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-video-of-jada-reaction-after-slap-makes-rounds-online-why-wasnt-jada-protecting-will">reported</a>, actor and anti-Trump activist Michael Rapaport criticized Jada for not protecting her husband or at least admonishing him for his actions on national television.
“People saying Will Smith was protecting Jada, Why wasn’t JADA protecting Will from literally ruining his entire career?” he posted to Twitter. “My Wife would’ve been fighting me before I sat down for making an a**hole of myself &amp; our family.”
It doesn’t seem like Jada is going to say anything about the slap publicly for now. But the appointment of Brown was enough for the “Bad Moms” star to speak up.

On Friday, President Joseph Biden introduced newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. During his address, Biden claimed that Jackson was put through a litany of difficult questions and unfair treatment, including the<span data-sheets-value="{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Joe Biden Claims Kentanji Brown Jackson Was Put Through Verbal abuse, Anger, constant interruptions, And 'Most Vile Baseless Assertions And Accusations' &quot;}" data-sheets-formula="=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(R[0]C[-3],'Form Responses 1'!C[-3]:C[0],4,FALSE))"> &#8220;most vile baseless assertions and accusations&#8221; during her Senate hearing.
&#8220;I knew it wouldn&#8217;t be easy, but I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process,&#8221; Biden told a mix of media and fellow Democrats.
&#8220;But I have to tell you, what Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that. It was verbal abuse. The anger, with constant interruptions, the most vile baseless assertions and accusations,&#8221; he claimed.
&#8220;In the face of it all, Judge Jackson showed the incredible character and integrity she possesses,&#8221; the president added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It is unclear what Biden was referencing specifically, as many believed that the most contentious points of her confirmation process were when she was asked to define the word &#8220;woman&#8221; as well as when she was asked for explanations regarding perceived lenient sentencing for child pornography cases.
In response, many expressed their confusion via Twitter.
&#8220;Apparently Biden was watching the Kavanaugh hearings and thought it was Judge Jackson,&#8221; political consultant Ryan James Girdusky tweeted in reference to Justice Brett Kavanaugh&#8217;s hearings where he was accused of committing a sexual assault and other egregious behavior in high school and college.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Vice President Kamala Harris, who was a senator at the time of Kavanaugh&#8217;s hearing, was one of the Democratic leaders who grilled Kavanaugh over the accusations, even <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/18/kamala-harris-kavanaugh-accuser-827907">saying</a> she believed his accuser.
In September 2019, Harris also said that Kavanaugh should be impeached due to new allegations that surfaced in a book at that time against the justice. During <a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/09/16/761147608/harris-and-others-call-for-kavanaughs-impeachment-after-allegations">one interview with NPR </a>in 2019, Harris said, &#8220;I voted against his confirmation because it was clear to me he lied under oath. And I think we all know he did.&#8221;
Biden also has a sordid history of launching unsavory accusations against GOP Supreme Court nominees during their confirmation hearings.
As <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-justice-clarence-thomas-hospitalized-with-infection-friday-night/">The Daily Wire</a> has previously noted, during his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court in 1991, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was infamously targeted by then-Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) and Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) over accusations against him of sexual impropriety against a colleague, Anita Hill.
At that time, Thomas <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-sure-hope-a-certain-thing-happens-left-targets-clarence-thomas-after-reported-illness">fired</a> back:
<blockquote>This is a circus. It’s a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.</blockquote>
Jackson will take her seat after Justice Stephen Breyer officially steps down at the end of the court&#8217;s current session, which is usually in June.
