The Government’s Top Lawyer Accidentally Admits Government Doesn’t Know What ‘Woman’ Is (AITA?)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a plot twist that even the most cynical r/nottheonion user couldn’t have scripted, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar spent Tuesday accidentally writing the most legally unhinged document since that one guy tried to cite My Little Pony in a Supreme Court brief.

According to a newly unredacted footnote in a federal case about—checks notes—whether the government can define “woman” for the purposes of Title IX—Prelogar reportedly scribbled in the margins: “For the purposes of this argument, the term ‘woman’ shall be defined as… uh… look, we’ll circle back to this after the midterms.”

Critics are calling it a “masterclass in avoiding a yes/no question,” while supporters say it’s just “peak government efficiency.” One anonymous DOJ staffer was overheard muttering, “We spent 18 months and $4 million in billable hours to conclude that ‘woman’ is a vibe, apparently.”

TL;DR: Solicitor General wants to have it both ways. The Supreme Court is now considering whether to just Google it.

Verdict from Reddit: YTA for not just admitting you’re making this up as you go.
