Women [During confirmation hearings for Katanji Brown Jackson] the male Torquemadas were joined by a female inquisitor, Marsha Black- burn. The Tennessee Republican is all mag- nolia Southern charm — until she spits venom. “Can you provide a definition for the word woman?” Blackburn asked Judge Jackson, invoking the controversy over a transgender  swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania. Blackburn’s question inspired Tucker Carlson to later hold up a graphic of a woman's reproductive system, along with a silhouette of a woman so shapely that Roger Aisles would have approved.
