Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would force public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Harris as his running mate on Tuesday. In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.

Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls, as both supporters and opponents of the bill have acknowledged.

Biden has pledged to get the Equality Act signed into law within his first 100 days in office, making the Democratic ticket united on the issue of forcing schools to allow some biologically male athletes into female athletics. 

The Equality Act passed the House with unanimous Democratic support in May 2019, but never came up for a floor vote in the Republican-controlled Senate.

Democrats have a strong chance of retaking the Senate in November, according to poll watchers. Furthermore, prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, have embraced the possibility of eliminating the filibuster in the Senate, which would lower the threshold needed to pass most legislation from 60 votes to 50 votes.

Same guys wore dresses and went into the women’s rest rooms”

This goes much further than this. For example 13 year girls will be forced to share the Jr. High Showers and locker rooms with some creep who claims he’s a she. It will kill women’s sports. It is a culture killer. This monstrous bill has passed the House and Joe will sign it. We are on the brink of losing our nation and the idiots in the MSM are leading the charge.

Sen. Harris is an excellent example why the states need to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment imo.

More specifically regarding her misguided sponsoring of the referenced pro-LGBT bill, constitutionally low-information Harris unsurprisingly doesn’t seem to understand that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate policy, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling.

In fact, President Thomas Jefferson had indicated in a State of the Union address that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution to expressly give Congress the power to deal with schools before Congress could do so, something that the states have never done.

• On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression in due season will doubtless be right, but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].”—Thomas Jefferson : Sixth Annual Message to Congress

• “Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Justice Joseph Story had also indicated that intrastate schooling was off-limits to Congress.

"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2

Also, consider that the only power that the states have expressly constitutionally given the feds to protect rights on the basis of sex is the 19th Amendment, that amendment limiting Congress to protect sex only in the context of voting-related discrimination.

"19th Amendment:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."

So Harris is promising voters constitutionally indefensible things for the federal to do to win their votes to stay in power, unthinkingly unconstitutionally expanding the powers of the already unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so imo.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

  "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• "The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me

• "Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me

Chris Wallace called Harris a MODERATE.

A "moderate" today is a leftist that isn't burning down police stations.

I think John Roberts already too care of that.

Furthermore, prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, have embraced the possibility of eliminating the filibuster in the Senate, which would lower the threshold needed to pass most legislation from 60 votes to 50 votes.

Sigh. The threshold to pass almost any legislation is 51 votes. Only the "threat" of a filibuster forces the 60 vote thing. So push it through, force someone to get up and talk. If no one does, TAKE THE DAMN VOTE. It's that simple. You just need leadership with balls.

And yet Trump & his people agree to have him moderate a debate.
That’s just NOT smart.
