I'm Albert Moeller, and this is the briefing.

A daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

Sometimes reality is clarified simply by asking a question.

Sometimes that reality is clarified when the question isn't answered.

That's what took place yesterday before the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate.

The question was asked by Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn.

She asked Katanji Brown Jackson, the federal judge, now nominated for a seat on the Supreme Court this question.

Quote, can you provide a definition for the word woman?

The question is simple, and these days it is a fair and necessary question. Can you define a woman?

Now that is particularly important when the person who is being asked the question is primarily identified by the fact that she would be as President Biden

indicated the first black woman to sit on the United States Supreme Court.

It would seem to be a fair question as to who is and is not a woman.

Judge Jackson does not want to answer that question.

It's actually in a series of questions she doesn't want to be asked and she doesn't want to answer.

She doesn't want to talk about her

religious background and that's very interesting in and of itself because looking

at the fact that she had served on the boards of two different schools, those

two schools represent two very different worldviews, one of them

the worldview historic Christianity, the other one that represents the abandonment of

historic Christianity. So which one indicates who she is? of on those hearings. But when you think about the question, can you provide a definition for the word

woman, a lack of an answer should be understood to be not only evasive but absolutely devastating.
