Forcing public institutions to recognize gender identity is not only a problem for the Biden administration’s Title IX regulation, which interprets the law prohibiting sex discrimination in federally funded education as prioritizing the subjective mental condition over biological sex.
It also sank a judicial nomination, marking the first time a Democratic senator voted against President Biden’s choice for a federal district judgeship.
The fourth and fifth federal judges blocked the Title IX rewrite Thursday, the same day Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., rebuked the no-longer-certain Democratic presidential nominee for a magistrate judgeship whose recommendation got a biological man transferred to a women’s prison.
President Biden’s weakening lock on the nomination ahead of next month’s Democratic National Convention slipped further that evening during his first news conference since November, when the commander-in-chief referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” and his running mate as “Vice President Trump.”
