Did Repubs disrespect Supreme Ct nominee Jackson? How did she do answering questions?

Snitz's take:

• She'll get confirmed.

• Most (Repubs and Indeps) think she got grilled like other folks. Dems don't agree. Personally, I think the Republicans could have gotten the same results and been less prickly

• Jackson couldn't explain what a "women" is because "she's not a biologist". To that I say, maybe she's not the first black woman to go on the court. Oops...maybe it's easier to define what an African American is?
