Should Biology Be Taught in Law School? Another Biden Judicial Nominee Cannot Define What a Woman Is

Most Americans probably do not like it, but it is a sign of the times. Judicial nominees appear to be no longer selected because of their education, experience, and exceptional knowledge and application of the law. But for their ideological bent, how they can help the party in power in Washington D.C. and elsewhere. They are picked, or not picked, for the cases they might hear, on their political views, and how those views might affect how they rule. It is during the nomination process that the responses of those nominees are getting downright silly, but they have real-world consequences.

Biden nominated Sarah Netburn for a judge position in NY. She put a 6’ 2” convicted p*d* in a women’s prison because he said he identifies as a woman.

She was asked if chromosomes determine s*x and she said she can’t answer because she “never studied biology.”

Activist judges are going to destrtoy America.

Judge Sarah Netburn is a United States Magistrate Judge. She has been nominated by President Joe Biden for a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a very prestigious nomination indeed. But there is just one problem: Recently, during her nomination hearing, when given a series of questions by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of those questions pertained to wording in a ruling from August 2022 that directed a biological male prisoner to be housed in a women's prison.

“In your Report & Recommendation, you open your ‘Factual Background’ section by stating: ‘At birth, people are typically assigned a gender.’ … Is it possible to determine a person’s sex by only analyzing their chromosomes?”

Judge Netburn's response may sound like a road we have been down before. She replied, “I have never studied biology, and therefore I am unqualified to answer this question." Never having "studied biology" appears to be a qualification for Biden judicial appointees. If you recall, now Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson also had trouble with simple biology when asked by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, “Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman'?" To which Justice Brown Jackson replied, “Can I provide a definition? No, I can’t.” When Blackburn pressed her, she now famously, or infamously added, “Not in this context, I’m not a biologist."

It might be one thing to rattle off a ridiculous response like that in the environment of a hearing, but in Judge Netburn's case, it has very real ramifications. The potential inmate in question pleaded guilty to molesting a nine-year-old boy, a class B felony, raping a 17-year-old girl, and criminal deviate conduct in the rape case; both are also class B felonies. The suspect was sentenced to two consecutive 18-year prison terms in an Indiana state prison and was released on parole after 18 years, but violated the terms of parole by having internet access in his apartment and was resentenced to six years. 

William McClain, who now goes by July Justine Shelby, filed a handwritten petition in April 2020, stating that he suffered from gender dysphoria and feared for his health, safety, and life. In her confirmation hearing, Netburn stated: 

"I issued a report and recommendation to the district judge recommending that the district judge transfer the petitioner to a women's facility. My recommendation was that the petitioner's serious medical needs were being denied by keeping her in a men's facility."

Based on Netburn's recommendation, a U.S. District Judge requested that the New York State Bureau of Prisons "transfer Ms. Shelby to a female facility as soon as possible." Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wasted no time in summing up Netburn's actions, saying:

“So you took a six-foot-two serial rapist, serial child rapist, with male genitalia, and he said ‘You know, I’d like to be in a women’s prison,” “And your answer was, ‘That sounds great to me.’”

But it was Cruz's follow-up questions to Judge Netburn that illustrated all we need to know about Judge Netburn. Cruz asked: 

"Let me ask you something. The other women in that prison, do they have any rights? Do they have the right not to have a six-foot-two man who is a repeat serial rapist put in as their cellmate?"

Netburn's only answer was, "Senator Cruz, I consider the facts presented to me, and I reached a decision." She added that every inmate has the right "to be safe in their space." But clearly, Judge Netburn is more willing to grant that right to some inmates and not others. Cruz called her exactly what she is: a "political activist."  

Judges like Sarah Netburn and Ketanji Brown Jackson know exactly what they are doing by giving the responses to these types of questions that they do. They know they will, at some point, have to rule in a case or cases on gender and would rather not have words uttered in a hearing come back to bite them later. Self-preservation is nice, but as a judge, you are making decisions that affect people's lives. Sarah Netburn may be the judicial activist Sen. Cruz accused her of being, but her best activism may be making the case for requiring a semester or two of biology for aspiring law students. 

If confirmed, Sarah Netburn won't be a judge—she'll be an activist.

She housed a male serial rapist in a women's prison to advance her career & appease the radical left.

It's disgraceful that Biden nominated this hack for a lifetime appointment.

If they can’t answer the basic biology question about what a woman is or what is a man then they are not qualified to do anything. Not even run a lemonade stand.

Any 3rd grader can answer these simple questions. Any child who knows the difference in their pee pee parts can answer these questions.

It’s not complicated or nuanced. It just is. Disqualified. Next!

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a few Republican senators vote to confirm Sarah Netburn.

Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

I understand her confusion. I’m not sure whether that is a man or a woman. She looks like Weird Al Yankovic.

[Stosh]

Actually, I’m fine with this, as long as these nominees pledge to recuse themselves from any cases that involve equal pay for women, equal opportunities for women, set-asides for women-owned businesses, etc - after all, if they don’t know what the hell they’re dealing with, how can they deal with it?

[DennisR]

So...these morons cannot

1. Add 2+2 - because they are not mathematicians
2. Tell if it is raining - because they are not meteorologists
3. Cook dinner - because they are not chefs
4. Make their beds - because they are not maids

...and so forth, ad infinitum

Shows how derelict, incorrigible, and insane Demonrats are.

“I have never studied biology, and therefore I am unqualified to answer this question.”

Is the Earth flat?

I’m not a geologist.

Is it hot in the summer and cold in the winter?

I’m not a thermodynamicist.

[Pocketdoor]

Fetal alcohol syndrome?

[Ann Archy]

THAT’s A MAN, BABY!!

[Uversabound]

Jackson is a nightmare and now we’re stuck with her.

[joshua c]

so they are confirming that it is a question of biology

and they cannot answer a basic biology question that any child knows

they are not qualified to sit on the bench

[fella]

Biology used to be taught in government controlled public schools.

[maddog55]

You’d think lawyers and judges would want to understand common sense but obviously not based on the Trump trial.

Gender is common sense to most except the left. I’d hate to think I made it to law school and didn’t know the difference between a man and a woman.

[pas]

They need to check all her transcripts. If she had one biology class, she lied under oath. She did not use the weasel words I am not a biologist. She stated she never studied it.

[Amendment10]

Thank you for referencing that article SeekAndFind.

"She was asked if chromosomes determine s*x and she said she can’t answer because she “never studied biology.”"

---

The problem with nominee Judge Sarah Netburn's politically correct, pro-LGBT reply is that it shows that she probably doesn't know (blatantly ignores?) Supreme Court case precedent any more than she knows biology.

More specifically, Netburn wrongly ignores the case precedent, established in Minor v. Happersett, that sex is determined by biological sex at birth.

After all, the Supreme Court did not recommend that Virginia Minor simply claim to be a man in order to be able to vote.

Note that Virginia Minor's fight for women's suffrage led to the ratification of the sex-based 19th Amendment voting rights protection.

"19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Since the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress is protecting OBiden who nominates people like Netburn, it's up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November, not only so that he won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will also support Trump to quickly finish draining the swamp.

[NorthMountain]

She was asked if chromosomes determine s*x and she said she can’t answer because she “never studied biology.”

Possibilities:

1) She's lying, and therefore unfit for any judicial position.

2) She's a complete moron, and therefore unfit for any judicial position.

3) ???

Anyone too frightened to deviate even in the slightest manner from the current orthodoxy should be summarily rejected without further discussion.
