Six of the nine Supreme Court justices are appointed by Republicans, but red states have been blocked by federal courts from barring boys from women's restrooms. What was the point of the generations-long battle for control of the High Court?
In August, a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's decision. ruling Forced the Metropolitan School District in Martinsville, Indiana, to allow people to use the school bathroom of their choice instead of the bathroom that corresponds to their gender. At issue is a female student at John R. Wood Middle School who believes she is male and is allowed access to boys' restrooms and boys' sports teams, and is referred to as a boy within the school. I was hoping for The ruling clearly applies to both men and women and is binding in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh cannot support the jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
The Seventh Circuit upheld a lower court's ruling that separate bathrooms violate Title IX of the Education Reform Act of 1972 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, written in 1867. Because, as we know, the legal equality of freed black slaves somehow also applies to women. They can demand that the state treat them as men.
Justice Diane Wood, in her opinion on behalf of the Seventh Circuit, cited Justice Neil Gorsuch's absurd opinion. Bostock v. Clayton County This incorporated “sexual orientation'' and “gender identity'' into the employment discrimination provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Although not unreasonable, Mr. Wood concluded that if the purported conservative justice argument was that he intended to include transgenderism in the 1964 law, why would he do so? Isn't that also included in the Education Reform Act of 1972?
Creating a right to switch-hit in the restroom and stating that regulating gender-segregated restrooms is beyond the power of the state is unreasonable, especially after the court's ruling. Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization It reinstated standards “deeply rooted in history and tradition” to create countless fundamental rights. Additionally, circuit splits have already occurred, with the 11th Circuit reaching a split. different decisions Separate bathrooms for men and women will be installed in 2022.
So it's no wonder that the supposedly conservative Supreme Court would once again allow transgender rainbow jihad to run roughshod over red state policies indefinitely without hearing an appeal. That is truly terrifying. In Justice Wood's opinion, she also predicted that “at some point we expect the Supreme Court to intervene with further guidance than it has so far provided.”
In fact, the Republican appointees, Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, want to wash their hands of all controversial issues and thereby allow corrupt lower court opinions to stand alone.
donald trump recently observed Democratic judges “go out of their way to hurt you,” while Republican judges “go out of their way to show they're not biased.” is. his Appointees who have continually allowed the opinions of lower courts to persist. Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh cannot support the jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
Barrett and Kavanaugh have consistently allowed lower courts to require red states to advance transgender rights while states restrict bodily autonomy during the COVID-19 pandemic. I have also admitted that I do. Mr. Gorsuch has done much better than the other two on COVID-19 and is willing to hear appeals on other cases, but bostock The decision was a big mistake.
As I warned you back in 2020, bostock“Applying this decision to that law (the Education Reform Act of 1972) is not a leap of faith. It is a logical development. As such, any single-sex activities or separate changing rooms in schools would be ignored.”
In December, Mr. Gorsuch and Mr. Barrett, along with Chief Justice John Roberts, joined the court's three liberals in rejecting an appeal by those challenging a sinister Washington state law banning counseling for children suffering from gender dysphoria. . Once again, the justices ignored important issues despite the clear circuit split. A month earlier, Kavanaugh and Barrett rejected Florida's appeal, following a national trend in which lower courts blocked the state's law banning drug shows for minors.
Some of President Trump's appointees have recognized the creation of transgender rights while also denying them basic bodily autonomy. In November, Kavanaugh and Barrett joined liberal justices. was denied appeal from nurses in new jersey They were forced to undergo dangerous COVID-19 treatment or lose their jobs at state hospitals. This same pair is back in 2021. was denied emergency injunctive relief against healthcare workers in new york They had been stripped of their religious freedom exemption from state vaccine mandates. And, of course, Kavanaugh crossed the border in January 2022 to join five liberals supporting Biden's mandate to vaccinate health care workers.
Just this week, Barrett. I participated Liberals called for support for the Biden administration's ability to work with cartels to dismantle barriers that Texas has erected along its border with Mexico. The Supreme Court is currently siding with the Biden administration. 11 of 14 emergency applications Reversing the often conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for relief.
As for Barrett, given her support; Lockdown in Illinois 7th CircuitI can't help but conclude that she believes that states have the right to lock up their citizens and force them to inject poison into their bodies, but not to stop foreign invasions.
of dobbs The decision looms large over all other cases, including Kavanaugh's opinion on redistricting, which could tilt the House toward Democrats. But in the coming years, it will become clear that the Supreme Court not only has real responsibilities at the federal level, but also prevents states from going red.
Ultimately, there may be an opportunity to limit the jurisdiction and scope of the federal judiciary on a bipartisan basis.
Oh, and if your main strategy for winning this election is to prevent the Supreme Court from convicting Trump, you might want to consider a contingency plan.
