"Ted Cruz Unleashes Fury on Biden Appointee Judge Sarah Netburn: 'You Are a Radical...'"
Dive into the heated exchange between US Senator Ted Cruz and Judge Sarah Netburn over a controversial ruling regarding a trans inmate. Senator Cruz's passionate critique exposes the clash between legal principles and political ideology.
US Senator Ted Cruz strongly criticizes Biden-appointed judge Sarah Netburn for a ruling regarding a transgender inmate, stating, "you are a radical…"
Senator Ted Cruz describes Sarah Netburn, the nominee for the judge of the Southern District of New York, as an absolute radical.
During a heated Senate hearing, Republican Senator Ted Cruz confronted Judge Sarah Netburn regarding the issue of transgender inmates. He asserted that US President Joe Biden's nominee for the judge of the Southern District of New York is an absolute radical.
Cruz focused on a case where the Judge had placed a biological male, who now identifies as a transgender woman but is convicted of child rape, in a women's prison after identifying as female.
By strongly criticizing the decision, Cruz claimed her discretion was deeply impacted by her ideological beliefs. He strongly maintained, "he was a serial repeat child offender, so how could there be no risk of re-offending?"
Senator Cruz did not hold back, criticizing the judicial decision to allow a biological male, who identifies as female, to be housed in a women’s prison. He argued this posed a significant safety risk to female inmates, pointing out the individual's criminal history as a child rapist. He further went on to ask, “In your court what matters more, the rights of individuals or your political ideology?”
"I think you are radical and don't have a business being a judge."
However, Netburn defended her ruling, citing legal precedents and the rights of transgender individuals to be housed according to their gender identity. She maintained, ‘her (convict’s) hormones were entirely female when she was transferred to a female facility'.
In a pointed exchange, Cruz asked the judge to justify the ruling, emphasizing the potential dangers and moral implications of such a decision. Cruz even pointed that the Bureau of Prisons warned against housing a convicted serial child rapist in a women’s prison. But Netburn disregarded the recommendation and housed the rapist with women anyway.
Cruz’s questioning was relentless, reflecting broader concerns and debates about the balance between ensuring the safety of inmates and respecting the rights of transgender individuals within the prison system.
The intense exchange has gone viral on the internet with many siding with Ted Cruz. "It is a sign of how severely gender ideology has corroded some people's brains - to the point that a judge believed a 6'2" serial rapist should be put in a women's prison - that Ted Cruz is now a voice of sanity," stated a user.
