9TH CIRCUIT LETS GREEN V MISS USA STAND (Trans wanted to be Miss USA)
Oregon Catalyst ^ | 03/24/2023 | Eric Shierman

Posted on 03/24/2023 8:52:21 PM PDT by aimhigh

The Ninth Circuit has refused to rehear Green v Miss United States of America, where Anita Green, a transgendered woman, sued Miss USA for only allowing naturally born females to compete. The beauty pageant’s First Amendment right to decide the qualifications for its competition was upheld.

Green was trying to become Miss Oregon. The plaintiff’s complaint cited Oregon’s public accommodation law. The Ninth Circuit agreed this was a civil rights case, but not what Green had in mind. The court found that applying Oregon’s law to Miss USA would violate the pageant’s civil rights, by imposing compelled speech.

One of the judges requested a vote on whether to rehear this case en banc. The matter failed to receive a majority of the votes. And so the decision stands. Green tried to use the power of the state to force the Miss USA pageant to express a message contrary to what it desired to express. Our First Amendment rights won’t allow that.

Was used once before, so “imposing compelled speech” seems to be the proper offensive to the tranny movement.

Twice means a precedent has be established.

The first amendment is the dividing line between freedom and tyranny.

Who would have ever thought that the Nutty Ninth would show some sanity?

Maybe Trump's judicial picks got rid of some of the craziness after all.

Sadly few of the pageants nor scholastic orgs GAS about the females that invested far more in their God-given gifts than whatever the disturbed interlopers are inventing

That's right, freedom of speech must include the right to not say what you don't want to say, or it's not a freedom at all.

Sounds like this should set solid precedent on the numerous wedding vendors forced into involuntary servitude to homos.
