Fox News
Republicans rip President Biden's judicial nominee, Sarah Netburn, for "political activism from the bench" after recommending a convicted rapist be transferred to a women's prison.
During remarks on the Senate floor Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the Judiciary Committee "has received almost a hundred letters – from liberals – opposing Judge Netburn’s activism!"

"Apparently, it’s not enough for Senate Democrats to rubber-stamp radicals to the courts. They desperately don’t want the American people to know about it," Kennedy said. "The cat is out of the bag."
Netburn ordered the transfer of inmate July Justine Shelby, who was imprisoned under the name William McClain, to a women's prison, against the recommendation of Bureau of Prisons officials.
