Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky has vetoed a bill banning transgender athletes from competing in sex-segregated sporting events.
Beshear, a Democrat, refused to sign the bill Wednesday after claiming it was most likely unconstitutional. Beshear claimed the legislation "discriminates against transgender people" and therefore would not hold up in court.
The Republican-dominated state legislature can force the bill through with a majority vote in both houses, which is expected to happen next week.

What a weak SOB.
Coaches for women’s basketball teams should recruit several 6’8” males and good male guards to play on their teams. They could enjoy the schools, watch what goes on around them and probably win every game. This would end the foolish situation.
This guy was a putz from day one
Sorry, but it is. Article III section 2 The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution...
That this was intended by the drafters of the Constitution is made explicit in Federalist Paper#80: The first point depends upon this obvious consideration, that there ought always to be a constitutional method of giving efficacy to constitutional provisions. What, for instance, would avail restrictions on the authority of the State legislatures, without some constitutional mode of enforcing the observance of them?
The veto is just kabuki theater. The bill passed by veto proof super-majorities.
That’s pretty thin soup. Me, I go with the view espoused by SCOTUS itself, that judicial review is not in the Constitution, but was established in Marburg v Madison when the justices invented the grand tradition of torturing statutory language, in this case the Judiciary Act of 1789, to fit their desired end.

Marbury, of course. #%*?! spell check
I wish women would take a good hard look at this, and see if
it doesn’t open some eyes.
If they could see the Left as I do, they wouldn’t have
anything to do with them. And they’d protect their young
girls and women away from them too.
Another “don’t say girl” governor
lil andy is a twit, just like his old man. We can thank the teacher’s unions for this idiot in Frankfort.

It makes absolutely no sense that a simple majority of both houses could override the governor’s veto. The bill originally arrived at the governor’s desk with a simple majority, and was vetoed. If a veto can be overridden with a simple majority then what is the point of veto power?
Yes an override is coming. One has to hope the idiots that live on the KY Supreme Court do not decided they make law again and overrule the legislature. Beshear or Jr. as I call him garners his support from Louisville, Lexington and Covington and those idiots known as public school teachers. He has been a horrible governor but I know people who honest to God think this turd saaaaaavvvvveeeeedddd them during covid, he’s their god, most of them so-called teachers.
If the KY GOP runs the right candidate and keep that old sellout McConnell away from said candidate they have a chance to beat this little punk.
“”discriminates against transgender people”
First of all “gender” is a grammatical term. Le, La, etc.
“SEX” is the CORRECT term when talking/describing such things.
Second, There is NO SUCH THING as a “transgender” person. Even if you had an addadicktome, you are now just a FREAK. A mutilated psychotic. Go get a job in the circus/side show.
Ya know, I MIGHT feel sorry for these “people” (term used loosely) if they weren’t trying (no, they are actually DOING IT) to take over MY country.
After all, they are SICK! Mentally disturbed, but so are murderers and we institutionalize THEM!
Well you are entitled to your opinion, but it is in the Constitution and the authors of the Constitution meant it to be so Marbury v Madison invented precisely nothing.
“...they claim that they are unconstitutional. It’s the job of the courts to declare legislation unconstitutional...”
But why Beshear thinks denying boys from participating in girls’ sports somehow crosses a Constitutional line, I have no idea. Is the whole idea of a girls’ or women’s swimming team also ‘unconstitutional’.
