Transgender North Carolinians get restroom-access win [Federal Judge Perversion of Law]
Savannah Now ^ | 8/27/16 | JONATHAN DREW and EMERY P. DALESIO

Posted on 08/27/2016 11:18:26 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A federal judge ruled Friday that two students and an employee must be allowed to use restrooms matching their gender identity at University of North Carolina campuses, and he said they have a strong chance of proving the state's bathroom-access measure violates federal law, a judicial rebuke that transgender rights advocates hailed as a victory.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Schroeder temporarily blocked the University of North Carolina from making the three plaintiffs follow the restroom provision of the so-called HB2 law as the larger case makes its way to trial in November. His final decision on the law won't come until after trial.

U.S. District Judge Thomas D. Schroeder

This "judge" is a Bush II appointee. Idiocy.

Some say evil.
Some say reading the political tea leaves.
At any rate it takes effort to keep up things like the NC law. Is the will for that present?

I am so glad our constitution covers the use of toilets at universities. It’s just . . . fundamental.

It’s interesting that GWB appointed almost as many leftist judges as the clintons did, and oh man, did the clintons shit pack the federal courts with some real winners.

Must be a clinton-bush crony thing.

Why doesn’t anyone talk about how what restroom anyone uses is way outside the purview of the constitution and is not, in any sense, an issue for the federal government? If they can tell you where you may go to the bathroom then there isn’t anything they cannot tell us to do.

That’s the idea. And your opinion does NOT count.

Isn’t it “wonderful” that we pay these worthless turds to sit around all day and “dream up” more “rights” that the Constituition “conveys” to the “very lowest crap that lives among us.” I mean there’s no more “important” issue that we absolutely must “address,” than where we all go to take a dump! If we were to try and convice “men” like this jerk, we’d have to install a whole lot more lamp posts on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC to hook them to.

Unforeseen consequences of making the Feds the police of what rights are upheld by states. This helped solve the problem of freedmen’s rights but it opened a pandora’s box to all manner of other politically correct “rights” as is here.

And yet, even with states they can get too specific. If the tranny woman dressed (credibly) as a man must go to the women’s room, is this not going to foster the very consternation that conservatives have been claiming women patrons of the room are being unfairly subjected to? When it’s the other way around there are molestation concerns, to be sure. Why not a rule that when there is a doubt, the men’s room is the default place to go.

The names, addresses and photos of the “two students and employee” need to be published.

Why make yourself into “lowest crap” too with such talk?

Just to normalize boys are girls are boys to destroy the possibility of the Chrisitan Worldview (the Natural Family/Truth/Reality) so that children will be used to invasion of privacy-—no privacy from Big Government-—which is being embedded in the prison systems (whoops-—skool factories of mass indoctrination) so children will have ALL REASON (Common Sense) REMOVED and they will believe any irrational, evil thing Big Brother states like men can be women.

We are seeing the forcing of Satanism onto the masses-—their rites of perversion, sodomy and baby-sacrifice (killing) are Ba’al Rites which this man is promoting-—yes-—a Religion-—a Faith-—Satanism which is total irrationality where Good is Evil.

Right Reason has been removed from our Just Laws-—no Reason and no Natural Law-—two basic, fundamental elements of our “Justice” (virtue) System.

We have only a Vice System of insane psychopathic pedophiles who are controlling ALL our institutions. Better take the minds of your children back so we can flip it back to Reality and Rationality or we are GONE.

You’ve frequently attempted to support Christianity with sub-Christian reasoning. Christianity needs no such help. It is driven from the divine Christ who was incarnated as Jesus.

What people call “common sense” is only a shadow of truth, and cannot always account for all righteousness. It couldn’t, since the fall in the Garden. Note in the referenced article that the big “common sense” objection is to men dressing as women and then appearing in women’s rooms where they will be more likely than other visitors to try to molest the occupants. The case here is the other way around — a case where even the “common sensers” would say there is no such risk. In fact for someone dressed as a man to show up in a women’s room could, by “common sense,” be said to be a breach of the peace.

Making the men’s room the default destination in case of question would solve the “common sense” issues that were raised here. It still would not embrace “all righteousness” but again, secular law was never intended to do that.

If “Right Reason” means to order everybody on pain of secular penalty to follow Christian principles, then I demur from participation in it. And I believe that Christ is the only way to heaven and the only avoidance of hell, quite an important thing — but I also believe that introduction of Him on any basis other than invitation is to betray His character. The love that must be exercised towards Christ to accept salvation is, by very definition, voluntary. It’s the Muslims who think they can enforce something of the sort by swordpoint, which is the only way secular law can carry on. Railing at our earthly rulers for debauchery, real or imagined, is by no means a substitute for gospel. Let us never mix the two systems.

Liberals have wanted unisex bathrooms for 45 years. Penn has long had them in the dorms. Shower, pee, and defecate with all of your peers, how revolutionary.

The Weather Underground likewise sought to “smash the patriarchy” by swinging and swapping and having homosexual relations.

Free love isn’t free, baby. It’s a hatecrime to say “no”.

This issue isn’t actually about some guy dressed up like a girl wanting to pee in the ladies’ room. It’s about smashing the establishment and celebrating a man who wants to pretend that he has “monthlies” and still go through the unnecessary ritual of taking “birth control” pills.

>> “Is the will for that present?” <<

North Carolina is very polar, and from what I’ve seen, I would guess that among the people, the will is present, on moral grounds, anyway.

“If they can tell you where you may go to the bathroom then there isn’t anything they cannot tell us to do”

Not “IF” .. we’re there.

The more this goes on, the more likely there will be predatory attacks by those using the laws and rules to gain access to their prey. Also, on the other side, there is likely going to be some ad hoc bathroom gender reassignment surgery.
