Your opinion is a straight out nonsense. Jackson has had above average qualifications to be a supreme court judge. Go compare them to some of the others.
The AMA gave her a well qualified vote by unanimous vote. Better or the same as all of the current SC. Police associations have recommended her, and she has had extensive court experience in one of the most challenging districts.
She's not qualified to rule on women's rights (Title IX, etc.) cases as she has no clue whatsoever what a woman is.

If 'police associations' endorse or recommend someone...then they are probably NOT in the publics best interest.
Should be a big red flag that 'police associations' even have opinions on this in the first place! (their duty is to enforce laws...NOT to have their own opinions on law or what should/should not be law ), that is a conflict of interest.

Somehow she wasn't on The Federalist Society list, I'm sure it was because she wasn't qualified like their other recommendations.
If it's unclear what a woman is, how does Biden know he's nominated one?
All the people whining on hear about her not giving a definition of what a woman is fail to realize there's a difference between sexuality and gender and that there's a wide sociological and biological spectrum on what that means. It's not uncommon for chromosomes to say one thing but physical presentation to be another. It's not as black and white as it may seem, but it doesn't surprise me because conservatives tend to not understand nuance. In a legal context it's important to take that into consideration depending on the case.

Even simpler than that, the Judge is qualified only to comment on a legal definition- one that will be applied in the cases to come before the courts- and not a biological, social, or any other definition.
It was probably also a trick question, and if she had offered a substantive answer, would be ripped apart for wandering beyond her own field of expertise and "making up law."

But is it really failure? I see it more as a refusal.
I am in no way an expert on the Supreme Court, but my understanding is that they select which cases to hear. I can't imagine that they would consider children's literature for 4-7 year olds of such magnitude that it requires Supreme Court intervention. We have bigger fish to fry, so to speak.
I didn't watch the entire proceeding, but she impressed me with how she conducted herself and how she handled answering the questions. Actually, in comparison, she was a whole lot more SC judge-like than that one guy a few years ago:
That is a poor comparison. Kavanaugh was unjustly accused of rape by a woman who couldn't remember any details other than it was him. Her own friends and family wouldn't even vouch for her character and she completely purged her social media before coming out.
Democrats made a complete mockery of that hearing and conducted themselves in such a disgusting manner. They reached back all the way to his high school year book and interrogated him about a comment he wrote about "boofing", which he had to explain was a reference to flatulence. The tone used with Jackson was a complete 180 degree departure from how they treated Kavanaugh.

Exactly.
And since race is a social construct, how does he even know she’s black? She could be a really tanned white person. She can’t define woman and he can’t define race.
Then why was she questioned about CRT? Have they ever asked a white SC nominee that question?
Booker asked ACB about racial disparities in sentencing. Is not "racist laws" and "racial sentencing" what CRT is actually about?
Did perhaps Cruz ask Judge Jackson about it because it's something the school her children attend(ed) and she was on the board actually used/taught?
