Biden Judicial Nominee Can’t Say if Chromosomes Determine Sex: “I Haven’t Studied Biology”
Life News ^ | June 5, 2024 | Steven Ertelt

One of Joe Biden’s judicial nominees doesn’t understand basic science that most children learn in Middle School.

Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn was unable to answer a simple question about the basic scientific fact that chromosomes determine the sex of a human being at conception. Bidne nominated Netburn to serve as a federal judge for the Southern District of New York.

“Is it possible to determine a person’s sex by only analyzing their chromosomes?” pro-life South Carolina Lindsey Graham asked.

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

As The Washington Times reports, the answer had ramifications:

Republican senators quizzed Judge Netburn over her decision to transfer a biological male child sex abuser to a female prison after the inmate decided to identify as a woman.

Her decision to move the prisoner conflicted with the recommendation from the Bureau of Prisons.

The inmate had been convicted of raping two children: a 17-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy. The inmate was also convicted of distributing child sex abuse material.

Judge Netburn has been a magistrate judge for more than a decade.

As pro-life advocates know, science has confirmed for hundreds of years that chromosomes determine one’s sex.

Human Development: The Span of Life, 1974, page 28-29, George Kaluger: “In that fraction of a second when the chromosomes form pairs, the sex of the new child will be determined, hereditary characteristics received from each parent will be set, and a new life will have begun.”

Human Embryology & Teratology, 2nd edition, 1996, pages 8, 29, Ronan O’Rahilly and Fabiola Miller: “Although life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed. … The combination of 23 chromosomes present in each pronucleus results in 46 chromosomes in the zygote. Thus the diploid number is restored and the embryonic genome is formed. The embryo now exists as a genetic unity.”

DeCoursey, R.M., The Human Organism, 4th edition McGraw Hill Inc., Toronto, 1974. page 584: “The zygote therefore contains a new arrangement of genes on the chromosomes never before duplicated in any other individual. The offspring destined to develop from the fertilized ovum will have a genetic constitution different from anyone else in the world.”

Dr. Jerome Lejeune, discoverer of Down syndrome chromosome: “To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion. The human nature of the human being from conception to old age is not a metaphysical contention; it is plain experimental evidence.”

so the nominee is confirming that it is a biology question

and it is ok that she does not know her ass from a hole in the ground

judges routinely use experts

simply hire a biologist who knows and rule accordingly

How can anyone attend high school and not take basic science which is taught in 9th &10th grades.
This imbecile thought she found a cute way to avoid the question.

Insisting sex is determined by the stork delivering the infant is more scientific than the democrat mind.

Why does she feel qualified to answer any questions? Is she a linguist?

Sam Cooke hit song Wonderful World

Don’t know much about history
Don’t know much biology
Don’t know much about a science book
Don’t know much about the French I took

Don’t know much about geography
Don’t know much trigonometry
Don’t know much about algebra

But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be.

Bet she doesn’t know much about gravity either, not having had a physics class.

Why do we put up with this crap? If I were on the committee questioning her, I would have announced then and there that she had lost my vote, and that I would work OT to see that she wasn’t confirmed.

That’s what I was thinking. How do you get through high school without studying some biology? If she’s under oath, her answer seems like perjury.

My son, formerly a Christian youth leader, was asked by a girl if she could go on the boy’s overnight retreat.

“Yes you can - if you have an XY chromosome.”

Shortly after that retreat the church leadership told him that the girl must be included on the boy’s retreats.

My son solved that problem by having all coed events.

Then resigned months later when found a better job.

Again, she knows the answer is biological.
She didn’t say “I didn’t study psychology”

Smartassery, because that is exactly what her answer was, should be automatic permanent disqualification from the whole process

Biden’s puppet masters only want woke Progressive Democrats so they can further their agendas and get convictions for conservatives.

We have to translate from the libspeak. What the judge is actually saying is, “I’m not sure I’m current on the Approved Terminology, which changes faster than anyone can keep up, so I am defaulting to Approved Evasion 1.”

Biology is a required Undergrad class.

It’s also required for high school.

Did she get her law degree from a cracker jacks box?

Why is it so difficult for these people NOT to get chromosome biology? It has been established for decades that a female has XX chromosomes in their DNA; males have XY in their DNA. These people are just ignoring basic biology if they ever even learned it.

The order from smallest to largest is DNA, gene, chromosome. A chromosome is composed of double-stranded DNA molecules, which have four different types based on their bases attached.
