Sarah Netburn, the latest nightmare to emerge from Biden’s judicial clown car, just saw her dreams of a comfortable federal bench seat go up in smoke. This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee did the nation a favor by torpedoing her nomination for the U.S. District Court in New York’s Southern District. Donald Trump must be smiling somewhere, watching the swamp creatures struggle to place one of their own in a critical position.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer probably thought everyone was living in a post-truth universe when he recommended Netburn, who has a little habit of redefining biological realities. Her record? A shocking penchant for transferring violent male rapists into women’s prisons under the so-called acceptance of being “transgender.” That’s right—a judge who thought the perfect housing option for a hulking, 6’2” convicted rapist was right next door to female inmates.

This is a MASSIVE victory for women EVERYWHERE.

Let’s talk about the committee’s decision. It wasn’t just an act of political theater; it was a collective sigh of relief from legal experts, law enforcement, and any sane person who can still differentiate between male and female. Their voices united to oppose Netburn’s nomination, making it harder for someone who believes in blurring the lines of safety and common sense to rise to a lifetime judicial appointment.
Senators like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee didn’t pull punches in their celebration of the decision. These conservative stalwarts made it clear just how close the country came to having a judge who might view identity politics as a more significant factor than the safety of female prisoners. They highlighted the absurdity and danger of Netburn’s past rulings, bringing national attention to the implications of her judicial philosophy.
In a week where common sense seemingly made a rare comeback, it became evident that President Biden’s radical appointees will continue facing resistance. Judge Netburn’s rejection serves as a potent reminder that the judiciary is no place for social experiments gone awry. A little dose of reality and a firm commitment to genuine justice won the day, leaving Netburn and her supporters to lick their wounds.
