That’s where Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confusion comes in. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., famously asked Jackson to define the word “woman” in her confirmation hearing in 2022, but Jackson refused, stating, “I’m not a biologist.” The justice has had nearly four years to come up with a definition, but her questions in oral arguments this week suggest she’s still out to lunch on the basic distinction between men and women.

The court’s decision also reminds us of a critical truth: Faith is personal, but it is not private. Religious liberty doesn’t just protect our rights to believe in the privacy of our heads, our hearts, our homes, or our houses of worship. The First Amendment protects religious exercise, the active, practical living out of one’s deepest-held conviction, including the building and running of organizations designed to apply those convictions to the challenges and struggles of life.

When the Watchmen Are Silenced, the Gates Are Left Open

December 27, 2025 Martin Mawyer via the Patriot Majority Report 0
The Watchman’s role is moral, not political. He is accountable not for outcomes, but for truth. Every society depends on such Watchmen. They are the ones willing to speak uncomfortable truths before the threat is obvious, before it is too late to respond. Today, many of the most important Watchmen are inside the technology systems that increasingly govern our lives.

December 23, 2025 Michael Tennant via The New American 1
In other words, the Attorney General and Commissioner of Education … require school board members across New York to self-censor and shut down parent speech that advocates for their core values and for children’s privacy, safety, and opportunity.
