Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO) responded to the Left’s indignation over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade with a mic drop one-liner.
Boebert was responding to the shocking SCOTUS opinion that revealed the justices decided to overturn Roe in June.
The leaked paper has prompted extreme outrage on the Left, as the verdict means that states, not the federal government, will have the last say on abortion.
The Colorado congresswoman drew reference to the recent Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
During the hearings, Jackson claimed that she couldn’t define what a “woman” is – a stance that was cheered on by the progressive Left.
The Left crumbled after the leak exposed the Supreme Court’s plan to overturn Roe, stating women should have the right to choose abortion.
And Rep. Lauren Boebert just issued a mic drop one-liner in response.
“Seems the Left suddenly can define ‘woman’ again,” Boebert said.
Seems the Left suddenly can define “woman” again.

Boebert refers to President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court pick Ketanji Brown Jackson who was questioned by Sen. Marsha Blackburn.
Blackburn said,“ Ok. And can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman’?”
Brown responded, “Can I provide a definition?”
The nominee then said, “No. I can’t,”
Blackburn asked, “You can’t?”
Brown said, “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn asked Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to define what a “woman” is in a tense exchange during day one of Jackson’s SCOTUS confirmation hearing. Blackburn used the question to make a point about transgender athletes like Lia Thomas.https://t.co/MsjQExba8F pic.twitter.com/4J6gWMwQDE

Chief Justice John Roberts said the end is coming, stating that the draft opinion is genuine and instructing the Supreme Court-martial to investigate the leak.
Here’s what Roberts said:
“This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here.
“I have directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.
“To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed.
“The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.
“We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce — permanent employees and law clerks alike — intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law.
“Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court,” he said.
