Well, I was in Alaska back in ‘78, ‘79 and ‘80 when the Alaska state legislature came real close after Jimmy Carter put a large portion of the state under federal control, putting one helluva lot of people out of work. To call it a raging controversy is probably an understatement.

He cannot just make and enforce his own laws

He can and will if there is no opposition.

If I remember correctly, he [Trump] is all in on this transgender public restroom BS

As I recall, he was responding to a "reporter's" Gotcha! question. Rather than stepping in it with the usual response that the leftmedia repeats all day long to say "Look! another Republican who hates x, y, and z!", he sidestepped the question and didn't give the media their usual ammo. That doesn't mean he's "all in" on the transgender agenda.

Haven't FReepers been complaining for years that most conservatives or Republicans in the public eye do not know how to play these games with liberal "journalists"?

Lots of schools already have policies that say “no one will be discriminated against”. This just gives them permission to add a new class.

The Texas government can shred it all it wants. They’re going to have to become a lot more proactive if they really want to have an effect.

Blazing a trail is not supposed to be the same thing as carpet bombing. Somebody explain that to Barry.

Sniff, sniff... Is that a secession vote I smell...?

Why should we leave America? We love America! Let the America-hating Liberal/Progressive/Socialist/Communist scum get the fu*k out! We should vote for Trump and we need an Article V Convention (I think 7 States have officially applied for one).

Trump said he could use whichever one he wanted.

Know why? none of us building owners want the GOVT suing us.

OSHA sent out regulations a year ago. A YEAR AGO.

We are up against it. Don’t believe me. Look here:

http://www.buildings.com/news/industry-news/articleid/18999/title/best-practices-for-transgender-restroom-access.aspx

None of us building owners want to build more bathrooms. That is where some think this discussion is going.
In commercial buildings, we don’t have hall monitors checking to see who is going where.

It is bad enough we had to spend so much money adapting to the ADA.

If we can go in whatever bathroom we “feel” then it’s time for the gentleman to “feel” like escorting their loved ones into the bathroom and guarantee nothing happens to them.

He’s imposing these type of rules on minors? I hope the kids insist on using a private bathroom instead of ‘sharing’, and the line goes down the hall. When the kids are late for class consistently because they had to wait so long for the single bathroom, perhaps they will realize that the single bathroom should be for those who need the exception.

“It’s a good illustration how far bureaucrats have gone in making their own rules and imposing it upon the people in spite of Congress.”

Meaning in essence, these “dictates” should simply be ignored by the various states.

The states that are responding to this nonsense are walking into a trap and costing the taxpayers unnecessary expense.

WAKE UP AMERICA.
