Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina on Monday escalated the nation’s clash over transgender rights by suing the Justice Department, which said last week that the state had violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it passed a law prohibiting people from using public restrooms that do not correspond with the gender listed on their birth certificates.
In the suit, the governor accused the Justice Department of a “radical reinterpretation” of the law.
“The department contends that North Carolina’s common sense privacy policy constitutes a pattern or practice of discriminating against transgender employees in the terms and conditions of their employment because it does not give employees an unfettered right to use the bathroom or changing facility of their choice based on gender identity,” said Mr. McCrory’s lawsuit, which was filed in a Federal District Court in North Carolina. “The department’s position is a baseless and blatant overreach.”

McCrory is hanging tough on this....
Way to go Pat!!!!!
He can read a calendar as well as anyone and as a smart politician he knows all too well that Obama, Lynch, et al are happy to rabbit on and on into a microphone but they are L-A-Z-Y when it comes to any sort of actual effort no matter how many legal brownshirts are on the public payroll.
Moreover, any federal case takes ages in terms of hearings, discovery, evidence, arguments about exclusion etc. etc. It certainly takes more than the ~250 days Obama has left and, we pray, Lynch along with him.
Love it! Common damn sense!
Right...Anything against McCrory that happens, Trump will reverse when he takes office...
Smart move, McCrory! Drag this sumbich out until AFTER the Godless Christian-killers leave office. For him to redirect to CONGRESS and not the Godless Christian-killers in the White Mosque is a stroke of brilliance. How refreshing to see a man with BALLS go up against the Godless Christian-killers, head on!!!
One thing these idiotic people haven’t thought about is that ALL men will have access to SHOWERING WITH LITTLE GIRLS, YOUNG LADIES AND ALL FEMALES.
Shame on all of them.
I don’t even want to need or rely on Trump, merely on the absence of two lefty ideologues abusing their offices.
A) 97% of the population.
or
B) 3% of the population.
The man who was raised by a cross-dressing transgender nanny chooses 'B' (Barack 0blama)!!!
From the article:
“”I’m surprised that they’re taking it this far,” said Mr. Stranglio, who is one of the lawyers working on a lawsuit that the A.C.L.U.”
Uhh, excuse me but, it is you who are surprising most of the country by taking things too far.
So, if I self identify as a narcissistic socialist black male – can I use the White House bathroom?
You think if Hillary takes Obama’s place, this won’t continue???
Just because Obama and Lynch will be gone doesn’t automatically clear this up, you know....
McCrory has the legal high ground. Courts have upheld that Congress meant ‘biological sex’ when it penned the word ‘sex’ in civil rights law.
The Fed is arguing that ‘sex’ also means ‘gender identity’ which is an absurd argument.
North Carolina’s legal text is here: http://dig.abclocal.go.com/wtvd/docs/050916_mccrory_v_dept_justice.pdf
I think they just told Obama that he is talking out of his ass.
the ‘educated elites’ on left... so ‘educated’ they believe you can change your DNA by placing two bags of silicon on your chest
you’ll pardon me if i disregard anything and everything they say passed that point.
So, to be fair and equal, if I am in line for an airline ticket to Hawaii, but I decide to self-identify as a president of the U.S., then I will promptly be supplied Air Force One and be given security detail and all other associated perks.
That isn’t quite right. You mean 99.997 % of the population or .003% of the population. Trans are not even 1%. But according to the Obola administration mentally ill people apparently are more equal than others.
If all else fails, then its secession time.
