Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina on Monday escalated the nation’s clash over transgender rights by suing the Justice Department, which said last week that the state had violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it passed a law prohibiting people from using public restrooms that do not correspond with the gender listed on their birth certificates.
In the suit, the governor accused the Justice Department of a “radical reinterpretation” of the law.
“The department contends that North Carolina’s common sense privacy policy constitutes a pattern or practice of discriminating against transgender employees in the terms and conditions of their employment because it does not give employees an unfettered right to use the bathroom or changing facility of their choice based on gender identity,” said Mr. McCrory’s lawsuit, which was filed in a Federal District Court in North Carolina. “The department’s position is a baseless and blatant overreach.”

I don’t believe they are 3% unless you factor in criminals and perverts.
She’s speaking now.
I want to throw a shoe at my TV screen so bad!!!!!!!!
Do you have sources for this? The court cases? It’s a good argument if there is already prescedent
It’s in the notes at the link
See note #18
Thanks!!
No problem at all.
I was relieved when I saw that footnote. Thought you might like it, too. :>)
You say that based on... what?
Based on Trump’s comments that this is strictly a states rights issue, not a federal issue....
I HATE the yellow-journalists of the liberal MSM, especially the NY Slimes. Note the bias in the opening sentence, above. It was the Justice Department that decided on their own that the Civil Rights Act now extends to a new class of individuals never included, or even contemplated by Congress at the time. Nor by any legal precedent set since. But somehow it is Gov. McCrory that "escalated" the issue?? The (in)Justice Department isn't a court. They don't decide the law, and they don't make the law: they enforce it. Hopefully the 4th District Court sends the Lynch/Obama despots packing.
(btw - note how fast the Justice Department can move when motivated? Less than 6 hours from the NC suit against them before they file their countersuit. But with Hillary's illegal and grossly negligent use of a home server? How long has that been going on?)
There is no Federal law demanding men be permitted in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. The title to the article is a lie.
