Well, until the fed money trucks stop coming anyway.
Article V. It’s the only hope.
I don’t get how this becomes a federal problem.
From the same people who said “keep your laws out of my bedroom.”
I don’t get how they’re able to be on both sides like this. It’s only the MSM that lets them get away with it.
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? That’s the bottom line in this and all efforts to nullify unconstitutional federal acts which by definition are acts of tyranny.
States, you used be financially independent from the feds. That is our American legacy: INDEPENDENCE. Let’s become free and independent under the Constitution once again!
Stand fast, North Carolina.
I don’t get this. Can someone explain it to me how any of this makes sense???
1. Charlotte passes an ordinance allowing men to use the ladies room if they identify as women.
2. The state passes a law to override the local city ordinance in Charlotte, and restored the status quo on bathroom use.
3. For passing a law which rescinded a local ordinance which went too far, and restored the status quo, the federal government is threatening action.
4. The group of LGBT peoples are NOT a protected class under Federal civil rights laws, so how does the federal government have any jurisdiction in this area anyway???
5. Very few places in America have passed non discrimination laws like the one in Charlotte. So is the federal government now saying, the vast majority of us are bigots against trans whatever people if we don’t have such laws, and is the federal government now going to go on a crusade against the entire country over the issue of male and female restrooms and locker rooms???
6. Does the Justice Department really not have any higher priority to work on, rather than this transgender people in restrooms issue????
Hang in there NC... just eight more months before this insanity is over.
It reveals a deeper systemic problem: the states are addicted to Fed dollars. They’d be healthier in the long run if they told the Feds to keep their corrupt mammon.
OK! As I recall the “unpleasantness” with the Yankees last time started with SOUTH Carolina. Guess it’s NORTH Carolina’s turn! Good on ‘em!
The Department of No Justice has plenty of time to spend getting men into women’s bathrooms, because they are not spending that time on things like, well, prosecuting espionage by demonrats who take classified information, put on unsecured email servers, and sell them to foreign governments.
What are they going to do? Send the 101st to escort a drag queen to the ladies’ room?
Target is already self-destructing over this non-issue. The feddies should butt out.
Ten more months of this Obama nonsense, but he gets more lame every day: The Little Lame Prince.
Maybe another Carolina will secede.
The Only One to make sense out of this is the Lord God Almighty. Without Him we are doomed as a nation. What part of that equation don’t people get? Let’s play on the safe side. . .the only side and “GO WITH GOD”! If states would stand for righteousness, we would not be in this mess!
PS
North Carolina State House Speaker Tim Moore evidently understands who he will ultimately answer to and it won’t be the federal government.
The government makes those payments for their own benefit; they won't cut them off.
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.
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.
