"In a victory for free speech, the rule of law, and common sense, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit recently ruled that a philosophy professor at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio, could not be forced to use a transgender student’s “preferred pronouns,” and that his suit against the university for violation of his First and 14th Amendment rights could proceed."
Any attempt by the state to prosecute such a case -- even a cherry-picked one -- would be removed to Federal District Court immediately, in this instance the Western District or Eastern District for Michigan.
Let's say worst-case scenario Eastern and some homo down there rules for the state, the state is still going to lose on instant appeal to the 6th. I don't just mean lose, but get punched down and embarass Gov Whitler. The 6th will not only remand and reverse, but also block the legislation.
“I don’t just mean lose, but get punched down and embarass Gov Whitler. The 6th will not only remand and reverse, but also block the legislation.”
Thanks for the cogent summary. The fascist MI governor is about to get her fat butt handed to her.
I also suspect that any gestapo cop trying to enforce this illegal diktat will find himself facing a constitutional sheriff on a dark road. Michigan has a good number of these sheriffs.
