States don’t withhold federal taxes because those taxes don’t go though the states. They are paid directly from the source to the IRS or other federal agency which receives them.
A CEO in the mold of JC Pennys’. All his friends told him it was a good idea.
He’ll come out of it OK, while Target languishes, like Jock Penet.
PS
North Carolina State House Speaker Tim Moore evidently understands who he will ultimately answer to and it won’t be the federal government.
I assume that would be a big tearup for businesses.
Having to route them to the state instead of the fed gov?
Hummm...No, I can't...
This only makes sense in the most retrograde libtards mind...
Since most of us can't even comprehend such a thing, we don't try...
Funny thing is transgender people are between .03 to .05 % of the country population ...
We probably have more people who think they are real vampires than that...
We need more vampires laws.../ S
The government makes those payments for their own benefit; they won't cut them off.
Your summary and analysis is spot on.
One aspect that, as usual, goes un(der)reported is the constant shifting of the goalposts by the Tranny supporters.
It was THEY who demanded the bathroom provisions be included in what THEY claimed was an otherwise harmless ‘equality’ bill. Good little Marxists that they are, they want 100% of what they want and expect to get it.
They pushed and NC pushed back, through its duly elected legislature and governor. The shock of opposition, more than anything, is what has the self-regarding do-gooders outraged. Most of these leftists have never experienced any sort of official difficulty in advancing their agenda.
The federal saber-rattling is just that since it’s merely their politically-motivated opinion that Title VII applies here. They would have to build a case and prove it. Time, to say nothing of the letter of the law, is not on their side.
Now the pro-Trannies are changing their tune and claiming that it was NEVER about the bathroom issue. They’re trying the old ‘if you don’t agree with us then you haven’t read the law’ gambit. But as above THEY were the ones who chose the hill on which the battle would take place.
Meantime we have the so-called commissioner of a sports league featuring grown men running around in their underwear (grown men, by the way, whose stated and accepted objective is to spend as little time as possible in college) saying that he wants to ‘work behind the scenes to change the law.’ Because a resident of New York engaged in private enterprise is perfectly entitled to overturn the laws passed in a separate sovereign state....or so he thinks.
As I discussed with another FReeper recently, the left keeps expanding its bubble of normality to claim that any opposition or statement of fact, biology, practicality, etc. is ‘discrimination.’ Their interest is not and never has been in the neurotics and psychotics who refuse to concede that their original factory equipment can’t and shouldn’t be changed, merely in claiming moral superiority no matter how depraved the individual they support.
Patriots, please note that the low-information NC House doesn’t seem to understand that the Obama Administration is not the real problem here.
More specifically, and as mentioned in related threads, the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect, authorizing Congress to legislatively strengthen if necessary, is voting rights, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
So not only have the states never constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to decide policy for PC INTRAstate transgender restroom issues, of all things, but regardless that Congress has the constitutional authority to stop the lawless Obama Administration from interfering with 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty, corrupt Congress refuses to do so.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if NC’s low-information federal lawmakers haven’t spoken up about this issue.
Remember in November !
This is why when patriots elect Trump president, they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only be willing to work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump, but also work to stop unconstitutional federal intereference in state affairs as evidenced by this PC transgender restroom issue.
Consider that such a Congress would also probably be more willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring actiist justices.
Interesting - they just essentially reinstated the policy that had existed until just very recently and now its a violation of the civil rights act, whereas before it was not.
-—The feddies should butt out.

Exactly. Conservatives are foolish to pursue this to the federal level in any event.
Obama is a dumbass.
If this stays a federal issue, it will make its way to the SCOTUS and we know they will swing far left on the issue, mandating a federal law.
Keep it at the state level, slow walk it as long as one can. Tie it up in state courts until another justice can be appointed.
If our society doesn't have laws that protect us from perverts, it can't protect us from other sex crimes.
This is deliberate destruction of any remnants of civilized behavior, courtesy of the Judiciary.
Well said.
These CEOs and boards of directors are so full of their power that they think we care what they think about societal issues. Macys, JCP, now Target. We don’t care what you think about anything. We only care about what products are on your shelves and how much they cost.
“Great. Now for the other shoe to hit the floor: how ready are you NC Legislature, to go it alone financially independent of the feds? “
I’m waiting for a state being threatened in this manner to instruct ALL their taxpayers to foreget paying Uncle Sam an effing dime! The IRS would implode if just one state took such an action. The dominoes need to start falling on the money flow to Washington.
Companies are not going to put themselves into jeopardy for failing to withhold. It’s not the state or the individual that would get nailed first.
Tax law compliance relies on people and companies voluntarily sending in the money. I submit that even if you leave companies out, the IRS would not have any way to deal with massive civil disobediance to the IRS code. I guess we’ve gotten so soft that we don’t care to do whatever it takes to retake our country. Sure glad we’re past the Revolutionary War. We couldn’t win it today with the people who live here.
It probably would put years on my life to see that. Somebody somewhere has got to have the guts to stand up to these federal mafia gangsters.
Somebody has to teach those turds in D.C. why the bathroom signs are different for men and women, boys and girls. Go North Carolina! While you’re at it, how about slapping a lawsuit on Lynch’s commie lib ass.
The right needs to attack the left and keep them in court defending things continually. Fight back America.
