Senate Judiciary Committee Blocks Biden's Judicial Nominee

Judge Sarah Netburn's controversial decision to transfer a male rapist to a female prison led to her rejection in a 10-11 vote.

Sen. Jon Ossoff broke ranks with Democrats, voting against Netburn's nomination.
Netburn faced criticism for recommending the transfer of a male inmate, convicted of sex crimes, to a female prison.
Republican senators highlighted Netburn's inability to define sex by chromosomal analysis as a key issue.
Legal and women's rights groups opposed Netburn's nomination, applauding the committee's decision.
Netburn's recommendation was ultimately overruled by a district court judge, not implemented by her directly.
