Breyer was confirmed before Blackmun retired.  I don’t recall there being much of a constitutional crisis back then.

That was during Bubba's administration. Even the Clintons were not as corrupt as the current crop, they were just small time corrupt politicians learning how to upscale their operation (which they have, and learned a lot on the way).

Still no constitutional crisis.

Dick Durbin Accuses Republicans of Prejudice Against ‘Harvard Grad, Black Woman’

Joel B. Pollak 23 Mar 2022

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) accused Republicans Wednesday of attacking Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson because of a “stereotype” against a “Harvard grad, black woman” during her confirmation hearing.

Durbin opened the third day of hearings by using his opening statement to attack Republicans for their questions the day before, implying that they were motivated by racist and sexist prejudice against the nominee.

“You made a mess of their stereotype,” he said, accusing Republicans of trying to portray Judge Jackson as of on crime for political and racist motives. “The endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association Chief of Police doesn’t fit with their stereotype of a Harvard grad, black woman who is aspiring to the highest court in the land.”

Notably, Judge Jackson herself declined to offer a definition of the word “woman” when asked by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

Durbin told her that “your nomination turned out to an testing ground for conspiracy theories and culture war theories.”

Holy smokes....   she comes clean early.

So what she is saying if one pervert has 10 kiddy porn pics, he should get less punishment than one with a 1000.....

I don't see this nomination lasting.

Makes you wonder how much kiddy porn she or someone very close to her is holding.

Definitions are the very basis of law.

Look at any piece of legislation, the first section are the definitions of the words spelled out as to their exact meaning, and who or what they refer to.

If a judicial candidate is unwilling or unable to deal in definitions, how can they be appointed as a judge?

Every judge is going to have to rule on wide array of topics for which the have no degree or career in. Saying 'I'm not a biologist' as the reason she can't define things is a side-step that disqualifies her out of the gate, because that is the core of her job.

The progressive judge claimed she was unable to provide a definition [for the word 'woman'] because “I’m not a biologist.”

Well now.  I thought "we" couldn't determine who is a woman by way of biology, chromosomes, and such.  Is the Judge now saying that we CAN in fact look to biology for those answers?

Her response stuck me as weird because I noted the same dissembling.

His follow question was even better:  At what point does equal protection under the law attach to a human?  She wouldn't answer that one, either.

If you lack both the common sense and the education to understand what being a woman is — or you’re too terrified of your political allies to admit you do know — perhaps you should not have a job that affects other people in any substantial way.

She can’t tell you the difference between a man and a woman, but she definitely knows enough to tell you which guns should be banned, which vaccines work, which babies have a right to life, and which pedophiles should be out on the streets.

If ONE Republican votes to give this woman a lifetime seat on the US Supreme Court, we need to rethink our midterm strategic goals.

I wouldn't put it past Collins, Murkowski, and a couple others  voting for her either.

Things Democrats think are acceptable at SCOTUS hearings:
- Gang rape allegations made out of thin air
- Farting
- Someone's sexual history
- Calling one's faith is "dogma"

Things Democrats think are unacceptable:
- Biology
- CRT
- Punishing sexual predators
- Murdering babies
