Video: Ted Cruz demonstrates for a leftist-activist judicial nominee why he's Supreme Court material
American Thinker ^ | 05/23/2024 | Monica Showalter

Sen. Ted Cruz did a masterly takedown of a radical left-wing magistrate judge in a line of questions over her decision to place a 6 foot 2 inch transgender 'woman' with full male genitalia convicted of child rapes and passing child pornography into a women's prison after she dismissed warnings from prison officials.

The exchange can be seen here:

Absolute FIRE line of questioning from @SenTedCruz today 🔥🔥🔥 bravo!

The leftist, a New York magistrate judge named Sarah Netburn, was nominated to a lifetime appointment as federal judge by Joe Biden for the Southern District of New York, and she was remarkably unready for the careful, logical and pointed lined of questioning from Cruz, who made it pretty clear he wasn't fooled by boilerplate bee ess.

According to the Daily Caller:

Cruz started by asking Netburn if political ideology mattered more than individual rights. 

“I don’t believe you, and I think this case demonstrates that you are willing to subjugate the rights of individuals to satisfy your political ideology,” Cruz said when Netburn claimed her political views “didn’t matter at all.” “This case involves a male defendant who raped a nine-year-old boy. Was he guilty of that?”

“Yes, the petitioner pled guilty to that,” Netburn responded.

Netburn tried to evade the question, though, and ignored issue of 'rights of individuals,' entirely, wanly denying that she was an activist or let political ideology influence her judgments.

Cruz continued with this:

Cruz then got Netburn to confirm that the transgender inmate had also pled guilty to raping a 17-year-old girl, before questioning her about an August 2022

Male genitalia on a transgender rapist?

It’s not the appearance that matters; it’s the feelings that matter,and that transgender rapist had the right to act on his instincts, and so, he’s not guilty as long as the ideology of the left is satisfied with the ruling of the judge.

No doubt, that radical leftist will be in the court, making a lot more ideology-based decisions. The law is now about ideology and not with making things right with the victims. Ideology is now more important to democrats than the written law in the books. Cruz was wasting his time.

Wow, Cruz is brilliant here, on fire, and won’t take any mealy-mouthed blather from this idiot woman.

Just a few days ago, Obastard was praising Obiden for getting 200 judges approved in the Senate the majority of which are female and/or POC. I imagine most of those judges are cut from the same cloth as this idiotic ultra-”progressive” judge.

Heck, we already had one who slipped through the Supreme Court to become the 9th justice.

Ths one did not even know what a woman is because (in her words ), she is not a biologist ( actually she KNOWS, she’s just pretending for the sake of woke ideology that she doesn’t ).

RE: Male genitalia on a transgender rapist?

I always thought that there’s a difference between transgender and transvestite.

The former goes all the way through surgical and hormonal means and the latter only wants to wear the clothes of the opposite sex.

Apparently in today’s language, there’s no distinction any longer.

Ted was known as a solid debater and one of his smartest student by one of his professors - Alan Derschowitz. Arguing with your professor at Harvard is usually not a good way to get good grades except Derschowitz appreciated it and respected him for it.

What exactly has he done that made anymore difference than, say Trey Goudy?

My favorite sound byte creator today is Senator John Kennedy, but nothing he has said created one law. All of my favorite talkers turn out to be all talk and no hat when it comes to the deep state agenda they seem to all fall In line over and over again.

I am 85 years old and have voted for the lesser of two evils almost all the time and no matter how solid they sound we still get more evil. I wonder why, don't you?

Firstly, we need to purge the RINOs. As we’ve all learned over years and years, they don’t mean one damn thing they say on the campaign trail.

Then after enough RINOs have been purged and the fear of god has been put into the rest, we need to give Trump majorities in both houses of Congress.

They were going to complete the Lefting of the federal judiciary under 8 years of Shrillary!.

This is one of the biggest reasons they're mad at Trump - he disrupted the timeline of the final takeover.

Ted’s always talked a good game. His record is, acceptable. I just never got that “I’m out for blood” vibe from him. A bit too much performance and not enough gut...

As a SCOTUS judge, we have certainly done worse. Looking right at you John Roberts...

“”Apparently in today’s language,””

In today’s language, we’re not sure what language we’re supposed to speak. I don’t even think that PERSON nominated is a WOMAN....

When it calls for calling a spade a spade, no one can do it like Senators Cruz and Kennedy. Must be a pleasure to see them work up close and personal. They sure grow “them” different in LA and TX....Let’s have more!!!!!

I watched this earlier on Twitter.

Cruz was brutal! And he wasn't just being bombastic, playing for the cameras either.

It was excellent!

My observation over these many years tells me many a good man runs for office and gets elected on promises that the elite have no intention of letting them keep. Remember the Teaparty movement that sent several patriots to the slimepit we call the Senate? Do you also remember Mitch saying we must marginalize these Teaparty guys before they get here. Yeah most people don’t they only brag about judges who refused to even look at crooked election even failed to consider Oregon’s corrupt mail in ballot only elections because they didn’t provide any proof that the elections weren’t honest. Only problem is no one is allowed to look at secret balloting process.

This election and the reaction to it will determine if we have liberty or death.
