Federal judge rules in favor of allowing SCOTUS case over trans athletes to proceed after attempt to dismiss

The legal defense to "save women's sports" scored a big win in its Supreme Court battle over transgender athletes this week.

After an Idaho trans athlete tried to have the potential landmark SCOTUS case dropped, a federal judge struck down the attempt to dismiss it and ruled that the case should proceed.

U.S. District Judge David Nye, appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017, rejected former Boise State trans athlete Lindsay Hecox's motion to dismiss the case. The trans athlete started the legal battle in 2020, but tried to have it dismissed in September after the Supreme Court agreed in July to hear the case.

HUH? Lower court judges ‘allowing’ SCOTUS to take a case. Probably poorly written report.

[Blennos]

I’m trying to decipher the title.

[Red Badger]

I see Kamala got a new gig a Fox News...................

[libertylover]

Good. But the Supreme Court caused all of these problems when they allowed homosexual perverts to be married.

The tranny wanted to drop the case because it was headed for the SCOTUS and the fed judge refused to let it be dropped.

Pretty ironic if you think about it......the tyranny KNOWS he will dominate against females in athletics but the case going to the SCOTUS means winning is not a forgone conclusion so NOW he doesn’t want to compete.

Pretty scummy if you ask me.

This title alone should get this fox idiot reporter fired.

And a poorly written headline as well. Convoluted as hell.

“in favor of”
“allowing”
“dismiss”
“drop”
“challenge”

My head spins trying to unpack all that.

I think this is good news based on the headline.

You’re right. “Lower court judges ‘allowing’ SCOTUS to take a case.”

That was big of those lower court judges, wasn’t it?

I had trouble at first, but I have figured it out.

Almost always, the Plaintiff in a lawsuit can drop the lawsuit at any time. This Plaintiff apparently won in the trial court, the Defendant appealed, the Plaintiff won again, and the Defendant sought to bring in to the Supreme Court, a long shot. That long shot paid off. Now the Plaintiff (or more likely, the trans advocates bankrolling him) are scared that the Supreme Court is going to hand them a defeat with catastrophic implications for their agenda.

So the Plaintiff wants to take his ball and go home. He wants to dismiss his case. He has been told “No.”

Like the biker gang in “A Bronx Tale”, he has been told “Now youse can’t leave.”

Just wants to let it flutter in the breeze in the girls locker room. How in the hell (rhetorical) did this become an issue anyway. 😠

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I think it is absolutely hilarious that the male creep (they call him “trans”) pretending to be a girl tried to have his case dismissed last month after the Supreme Court agreed in July to hear the case.

[Bobbyvotes]

Haha me too 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[CommieCutter]

I couldn’t read it either. lol

‘Lindsay’ is hoisted on his own WonderBra ha ha:

Rule 41. Dismissal of Actions
(a) Voluntary Dismissal.

(1) By the Plaintiff.

(A) Without a Court Order. Subject to Rules 23(e) , 23.1(c) , 23.2 , and 66 and any applicable federal statute, the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing:

(i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or

(ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.

(B) Effect. Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the dismissal is without prejudice. But if the plaintiff previously dismissed any federal- or state-court action based on or including the same claim, a notice of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits.

*******
(2) By Court Order; Effect. Except as provided in Rule 41(a)(1) , an action may be dismissed at the plaintiff’s request only by court order, on terms that the court considers proper.
*******

I nominate this title as “Most Convoluted”.

[Skooz]

Do what?

[sgt_lau]

Trans. There’s no such thing. That word implies that a person can transition to the sex other than what they were born as. Gender dysphoria is what it is.

[GingisK]

The title makes my brain hurt.

[Bonemaker]

Makes my hair hurt.
