On Monday, the Supreme Court announced it would not take up the case Gavin Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board (2020), a high-profile case concerning whether or not Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 forbids schools from designating bathrooms according to biological sex. The school board had allowed single-user restrooms as an alternative to dropping the sex-specific restroom policy, but Grimm challenged it, anyway.
A panel of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Grimm, a female student who identifies as male and sought to use the boys’ restroom. In the 2-1 ruling, Judge Henry F. Floyd twisted the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020) in order to strike down the school board’s policy.
The Supreme Court had the option of taking up the case and clarifying the issue, but the Court refused to grant certiorari. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito voted to take up the case. Neither they nor the Court as a whole issued any opinion explaining their reasoning.
In Bostock, the Court ruled that when Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids discrimination on the basis of sex in employment decisions, that also forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). In a powerful dissent, Alito condemned the ruling as “preposterous” because Congress had tried and failed to amend Title VII in order to include a prohibition of SOGI discrimination and because no one interpreted the law this way until 1971.
Even so, in that preposterous ruling, Gorsuch explicitly stated that the logic of Bostock does not necessarily apply to bathroom cases.

Still wondering why Trump nominated them and gave other leftists appointments.
Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Conehead were all GOP picks, not Trump's. Trump had no other choice but to acquiesce to the GOP because he needed their support.
Oh gosh yes. There a long line of people RREEPERS slobbered over who ended up to be horrible human beings.
I didn't stay home in 2020, but you can be damned sure I'll be staying home every frickin' year from now on. I will be treating Election Day like the nonsense holiday of Juneteenth.
JD Rucker of the NOQ Report observes:
This decision not to engage the issue in effect opens the door to dangers for students, particularly female students who must now share their facilities with biological males. With no clear understanding of who is considered transgender other than one’s own declarations, we can expect bad things to happen.
Of course, these things will not be reported by mainstream media as this “woke” judgment must be protected by the Cultural Marxists at all costs.
The good news is that the issue isn’t set in stone. By declining to hear the case, the Supreme Court has essentially punted until a future case comes before them. School board, city, and state governments can still issue rules that can and almost certainly will be challenged. If one of those challenges reaches the Supreme Court again, they’ll have another opportunity to determine if biological boys who think they’re girls can use the girls’ restroom and visa versa.
Of course the three progressive Justices and “moderate” Chief Justice Roberts declined. But seeing all three Trump appointees — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — side against biology was thoroughly disappointing.
Trump has proven to be the worst judge of character of any leader I’ve ever seen
Gorsuch is a member of the ultra liberal pan-sexual apostate TEC (The Episcopal “Church.”) Apparently he is comfortable with this kind of twisted logic. If he actually has any conservative values, he does not take them seriously.
The America I grew up in is dead. This America is a freak show.
Gorsuch’s “minister” is a female. Stylish (and blasphemous), so I never had hope for him coming through for us.
I believe it was the Federalist Society, not Heritage. Their list was supposed to be the best of the bunch, which says a lot about the future of jurisprudence in America.
ok....non slobbering Freepers :)
Can someone remind me, was it the Heritage Foundation or the Federalist Society who was advising Trump on his nominees?
Who ever it was is part of the deep state.
“I believe it was the Federalist Society, not Heritage.” You are correct. My mistake.
So Gorsuch is a fag too?
Nah.
This is the kind of stuff that cost President Trump the "election".
Michigan Republican poll watcher Zachary Larsen, an attorney and former Assistant Attorney General in the State of Michigan:
Cankles judges would have been worse.
Trump wasn't calling the shots on judges, or many of his own appointments, either.
If you're forced to reach into the toilet to pick out a Swamp turd, what do you think you're going to pick?
How difficult is it to claim you are conservative?
Worked for h bush,w bush, bush mccain and even the severe conservative romney...etc etc
