One of the most ridiculous features of our age of absurdity is that there is actually a controversy over what a woman is. But first Biden’s Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson refused back in 2022 to define what a woman is, offering the excuse that she was not a biologist, and now United States Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn, whom Old Joe has nominated for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, says she’s “unqualified” to offer such a definition. Then Sarah Netburn is likewise unqualified to serve on the District Court, right? Well, that would require a sane political discourse in our fractured and addled nation today.

The Daily Caller reported Tuesday that the latest absurdity unfolded when Netburn attempted to answer a series of written questions from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-Knows What A Woman Is).
