Congratulations to Chief Justice Elena Kagan on her big win Monday at the Supreme Court on gay and transgender rights in Bostock v. Clayton County. Ok, she isn’t the Chief, but she might as well be as her redefining of Antonin Scalia’s jurisprudence prevailed in a startling 6-3 ruling that included Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch.
Justice Kagan didn’t write the majority opinion, but her views are all over Justice Gorsuch's opinion that essentially rewrites Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. That law bars discrimination in employment on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex, [and] national origin.” But in oral argument, Justice Kagan redefined “sex” in Title VII to mean more than the binary choice of a man or woman. Justice Gorsuch bought the argument, and in the process he usurps Congress and distorts the textualist school of jurisprudence that he claims to follow.
There is no evidence that Congress or the public in 1964 understood gender identity and sexual orientation to be the same as biological sex. Mores have changed for the better, and Congress would have added gender and sexual orientation to the law sooner rather than later. But all 10 appellate courts that considered whether “sex” covered gender identity and sexual orientation before 2017 held that it did not.
The Court has now rewritten the law itself. While Justice Gorsuch concedes that “homosexuality and transgender status are distinct concepts from sex,” he says “discrimination based on homosexuality or transgender status necessarily entails discrimination based on sex; the first cannot happen without the second.”
But animus toward gays or transgender people isn’t based on their biological sex. People hostile to gays aren’t necessarily sexual chauvinists.

Romans 1:18-32 was like a canary dying in a coal mine.
But merely championing homosexuals is just a landmark in the lives of those turned over to depraved minds. It doesn’t end there apparently.
Really all that is needed for the Antichrist, whom I reason is likely to be the new Muslim Caliph they are waiting for, to get the secular, pervert loving West to flock to the mosques, take whatever mark that they offer and start killing the saints is to use the Islamic doctrine of abrogation and declare a poofter friendly/mandatory version of Islam.
Only to the mentally ill.
Your thoughts would be of more benefit if they were expressed as complete sentences.

The justice department should at least declare that it will not prosecute churches charged with discrimination on the basis of sexual mores, and that since there are zero evangelicals on the bench then this is a biased ruling.
” Trump’s top ‘spiritual’ adviser is prosperity preacher Paula White. “ — she’s an evangelical pastor (or is that pastoress?)
