I spent a decade in far right media. The way Ketanji Jackson is being treated is both predictable and sad. A thread
The far right perceives Judge Brown's reticence to define "woman" as some radical departure from reality. This is a game the radical right has effectively deployed for years
Ketanji Brown Jackson should be applauded for not lowering herself to the far right's political "gotcha" games.
If Ketanji Brown Jackson responded to Blackburn by doing something as simple as quoting the dictionary, the GOP would still attack her.
The second Ketanji Brown Jackson said, "a woman is an adult human female," fascists would use it to point out that KBJ is aware there's a distinction between minors and adults
Which would only invite more questions about how KBJ could go so soft on child sex rapists. Bravo to KBJ for shutting down reactionaries like a true #GirlBoss
Look, I'm a reasonable conservative, not some rightwing nut job. These culture war games must end. It's not KBJ's fault that prosecutors didn't think to bring in a biologist to explain to the court that raping a child is wrong!
I'm humbled and honored by all the attention this is getting; to the TV bookers flooding my DMs, please contact my agent. Giannaslog(@)gmail.com I will do my best to accommodate!
