Obama threatens, gives deadline to North Carolina on transgender law
Spero News ^ | MAY 4, 2016 | BY MARTIN BARILLAS

Today the Obama Justice Department warned North Carolina state officials that their state stands to lose millions of dollars in federal funds unless they change a measure limiting access to bathrooms for transgender people. In a letter to Gov. Pat McCrory, DOJ contends that they and North Carolina would be in violation of federal civil rights law if the bill passes.

According to the Justice Department, the state law violates federal law under Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. The Obama administration says that with the passage of House Bill 2, “the state is engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of Title VII right by employees of public agencies.”

I am glad that the organization was described as "the Obama Justice Department." Like Obama and his Executive orders, the Obama Justice Department seems to be inventing laws; it has become a circus.

The Obama Justice Department ignores gross failures by EPA and IRS to follow the law, ignores "Crooked Hillary," ignores wanton disregard of our immigration laws, and instead focuses its efforts to force people to accept an insane and dangerous restroom policy.

The health and safety of the people of the USA are second in line to Obama policies.

Time for the States to start thumbing their noses at the turd. Actually, way past time for them to start thumbing their noses at 90% of what the Feds do...

I agree. The Feds tax our paychecks, at least those of us that work, then turn around and decide what our state can have back. The governor should declare that all working NC citizens stop withholding on their fed taxes.

Way past time to move beyond this pretender.

The states created the federal government, not the other way around.

NC can, and should, tell Obumbler to go pound sand down a rat hole—The fedguv has no jurisdiction here.

The most important question that was ever proposed to your decision, or to the decision of any people under heaven, is before you, and you are to decide upon it by men of your own election, chosen specially for this purpose. If the constitution, offered to your acceptance, be a wise one, calculated to preserve the invaluable blessings of liberty, to secure the inestimable rights of mankind, and promote human happiness, then, if you accept it, you will lay a lasting foundation of happiness for millions yet unborn; generations to come will rise up and call you blessed. You may rejoice in the prospects of this vast extended continent becoming filled with freemen, who will assert the dignity of human nature. You may solace yourselves with the idea, that society, in this favoured land, will fast advance to the highest point of perfection; the human mind will expand in knowledge and virtue, and the golden age be, in some measure, realised. But if, on the other hand, this form of government contains principles that will lead to the subversion of liberty — if it tends to establish a despotism, or, what is worse, a tyrannic aristocracy; then, if you adopt it, this only remaining assylum for liberty will be shut up, and posterity will execrate your memory.

Momentous then is the question you have to determine, and you are called upon by every motive which should influence a noble and virtuous mind, to examine it well, and to make up a wise judgment. It is insisted, indeed, that this constitution must be received, be it ever so imperfect. If it has its defects, it is said, they can be best amended when they are experienced. But remember, when the people once part with power, they can seldom or never resume it again but by force. Many instances can be produced in which the people have voluntarily increased the powers of their rulers; but few, if any, in which rulers have willingly abridged their authority. This is a sufficient reason to induce you to be careful, in the first instance, how you deposit the powers of government.

So far therefore as its powers reach, all ideas of confederation are given up and lost. It is true this government is limited to certain objects, or to speak more properly, some small degree of power is still left to the states, but a little attention to the powers vested in the general government, will convince every candid man, that if it is capable of being executed, all that is reserved for the individual states must very soon be annihilated, except so far as they are barely necessary to the organization of the general government. The powers of the general legislature extend to every case that is of the least importance — there is nothing valuable to human nature, nothing dear to freemen, but what is within its power. It has authority to make laws which will affect the lives, the liberty, and property of every man in the United States; nor can the constitution or laws of any state, in any way prevent or impede the full and complete execution of every power given. The legislative power is competent to lay taxes, duties, imposts, and excises; — there is no limitation to this power…

And are by this clause invested with the power of making all laws, proper and necessary, for carrying all these into execution; and they may so exercise this power as entirely to annihilate all the state governments, and reduce this country to one single government. And if they may do it, it is pretty certain they will; for it will be found that the power retained by individual states, small as it is, will be a clog upon the wheels of the government of the United States; the latter therefore will be naturally inclined to remove it out of the way. Besides, it is a truth confirmed by the unerring experience of ages, that every man, and every body of men, invested with power, are ever disposed to increase it, and to acquire a superiority over every thing that stands in their way. This disposition, which is implanted in human nature, will operate in the federal legislature to lessen and ultimately to subvert the state authority, and having such advantages, will most certainly succeed, if the federal government succeeds at all.

In a free republic…

If I were running NC, if the money stopped from the Feds, I’d cut off all power to federal facilities. Just pull the plug. But isn’t this a great example of Federal, socialist welfare? They can threaten you by with holding the “free” money that YOU gave them in taxes.

“Oh PLEASE North Carolina ... STAND STRONG !
An entire nation NEEDS you now”

Every state and the citizens of the United States should now realize that the war has already started. Obama has fired shot after shot and still the general population hunkers down and hopes that someone or something will happen to save us from utter evil and degradation that is now being put into law.

If NC can’t stand up against this lunacy and give up the filthy lucre that supports it, then they deserve what they get. The sacrifice of money and what it can buy is small compared to the lives and welfare of our children and ourselves in public. Obama is feeding us to perverts, sodomites and all manner of criminals just like Roman rulers fed Christians to the lions.

It’s not only NC that needs to stand up against this but each and every one of us. Government money isn’t worth what we will all have to pay in terms of suffering at the hands of the filth of society that Obama is giving full reign over all of us.
