Supreme Court blocks transgender bathroom choice for now
Reuters ^ | August 3, 2016 | David Ingram

Posted on 08/03/2016 3:31:41 PM PDT by Kaslin

A Virginia school board may temporarily block a student who was born a girl from using the boys' bathroom while a legal fight over transgender rights proceeds on appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court said on Wednesday.

The case is the first time the fight over transgender bathroom rights has reached the Supreme Court, and the subject arrived in the heat of a U.S. presidential election in which the makeup of the court is a central issue.

In a brief order, the country's highest court put on hold an order from a lower court that had permitted the high school student to use the bathroom of his choice.

Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union sued on behalf of Gavin Grimm, 17, to challenge the Gloucester County School Board's bathroom policy, which requires transgender students to use alternative restroom facilities.

A lawyer for the school board declined to comment on the Supreme Court's order.

A lawyer for Grimm, Joshua Block, said he and his client were disappointed by the order and “disappointed that Gavin is going to have to begin another school year being stigmatized and separated from his peers as a result of this policy.”

Even agreeing to hear this perversion proves the corruption of the SCOTUS!

This isn’t about choice.

This is about 99%+ of the population being forced to accept the mental illness/perversion of less than 1% of the population.

Such is the state of insanity in this country when the agenda of the highest court of the land is tied up by perverts.

The kid is leaving school soon and this is just a ACLU,/ cross dressing homo agenda taken form the communist rules of 1963.

See the rules in their 20’s
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

The problem is, and the left’s strategy is, that the court may give ‘judicial notice’ to the fatuous concept of transgenderism, thus providing a pretext for future inevitable cases.

Even if you block it now, liberals will bring it up yet again until they get their way.

The only thing I can see wrong with this list is # 35. Perhaps the FBI was an instrument of anti-communism in its early days, but a federal police force could just as easily be used by the left in this day and age. We’ve just seen them go soft on one of their own political party members (Hillary) in a partisan way. The FBI could be turned on conservatives/nationalists/anti-globalists by a left-of-center president.

Agreed on the FBI and looking at that list we see how much they have accomplished and yet some on our side still refuse to fight these people.

#2.The black robed terroists of the feminazi with their allies of judges are all terrorist fascist would be tyrants who are cementing their role as makers of all laws in America by judicial over reach. Might as well get rid of the Congress as they do nothing but block conservatives anymore and make no laws or budgets that the judicial activists don’t change.

Also, No. 38 Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies.
John Hinckley, whose father was a fundraiser for GHW Bush, has been released this week from a mental-health clinic. Hinckley shot President Reagan.
Hinckley was quickly whisked way to mental-health officials, closing any avenue to try for him capital murder.
So, he goes home to his rich family.
What should have happened: Since Hinckley was seen in the flesh in the act, he should been tried, convicted and hanged by his neck until sundown.
The VP, his son Neal, and Mr. Hinckley should have had lifetime sentences in an Alaskan federal prison. No pardon or commutation. Die in concrete-block cell with a stainless toilet with no seat.
No Alaskan federal prison? Built one north of Fairbanks. Have Bush’s cell face North.
