To achieve its political ends, the left doesn't just assault the Constitution through the appointment of liberal activist judges; there are a variety of other leftist abuses, such as politicizing the departments of Justice and Education.
In its mission statement, the Justice Department states that one of its aims is "to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans."
That goal underscores cherished principles of American jurisprudence and the Constitution, including the preamble's commitment to "establish Justice," the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law and the rule of law itself.
Justice is supposed to be blind, in the sense of impartiality and being free from political influences. The rule of law ensures that we have a government of laws, not men -- meaning that no one is above the law and everyone should be treated equally. The law must be fairly applied and enforced, or it will cease to function as a safeguard of rights and a guarantor of justice.
The political left subscribes to these principles only by lip service, if at all, because its overarching goal is to accomplish its policy goals, irrespective of the damage it does to the very process that guarantees our liberties.
This is why the left, without remorse, appoints results-oriented, activist judges, whom they view not as protectors of the Constitution and law but as vehicles to advance its political agenda by any means necessary, including twisting the meaning of constitutional and statutory provisions and often inventing rights out of whole cloth. It's why it doesn't even blink when one of its own usurps legislative authority and issues lawless executive orders in contravention of the people's will, even while knowing he has no constitutional authority to do so. It's why it deliberately refuses to enforce immigration laws. It's why it blackmails state governments, through the threat of withholding funds, into doing the will of the federal government. It's why it privately applauds the use of the IRS to target its political opponents. And it's why it stacks the Justice Department with radical leftists whose mission to effect changes in policy supersedes its duty of ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice.
As such, it's no surprise that the Obama administration has issued an edict barring "discrimination" against students based on their "gender identity." The Department of Justice and the Department of Education each announced that "both federal agencies treat a student's gender identity as the student's sex for purposes of enforcing Title IX."
Understand that with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Congress never intended "sex" to include "gender identity." The purpose was to ensure women and girls equal treatment under the law. No one in his wildest imagination conceived that lawless public officials would later contort the statute to prevent discrimination against transgender people.
The administration proclaims, "Gender identity refers to an individual's internal sense of gender." So forget your biological makeup; if today you want to identify as a woman, men, you may, and if people refuse to go along with the ruse, they will be punished with the full force of federal law.
Specifically, the administration's directive last week requires every public school in the nation to provide transgender students access to all activities and facilities consistent with their gender identity, at the risk of losing federal funds.
The Framers are rolling over in their graves, not just because of this inversion of moral standards but also because of the lawless manner in which this is being forced down the throats of the states, the American people and the public schools.
President Obama knows he doesn't have the legal authority to issue such an order, but he is determined to create as much chaos as he can and to unilaterally impose his iron will to the fullest extent before his term expires.
No one will convince me that this has anything to do with the rights of transgender people. Rather, Obama and his fellow leftist tyrants are seeing how far they can push the envelope -- how much they can fundamentally transform America against the people's will and against the protections guaranteed by the federal and state constitutions.
The Obama administration obviously cares not a whit for the privacy of students who don't want to be forced to share a restroom with students of the opposite sex. The rights of the many will be subordinated to the rights of the very, very few -- not to protect the rights of those few but to manufacture rights that don't exist to make an authoritarian statement on behalf of Big Brother.
Folks, there has to be a tipping point -- a point at which we'll no longer tolerate this kind of tyranny, even if it means the states' forgoing blood money from the federal leviathan.
This is a hill to die on, and if the sane states don't fight back on this one, we might as well just completely surrender the republic today. It's either that or eventually seeing the people rise up in a way we haven't witnessed for many years.
The response tactic to his Executive Memoranda or Orders re: this should be “remain silent” - say nothing, do nothing until the education department forces the individual districts to officially respond. This can be delayed the remaining months this America-hater is in office.
“This is a hill to die on, and if the sane states don’t fight back on this one, we might as well just completely surrender the republic today. It’s either that or eventually seeing the people rise up in a way we haven’t witnessed for many years.”
Americans are rising up now,this is why we have as the GOP frontrunner, Donald J. Trump.
This IS a hill to die on.
Now that Hitlery has agreed to this Obama decree, Trump should take this on full force. This is huge to win over some women voters. Women and children should not be subjected to troubled men, or predators, using their facilities. I suspect that the majority of Republicans, Independents, and even Democrats, are against this (if asked in private).
In addition, places of business (stores, restaurants, bars, etc.) should be brave enough to NOT go along with this. The brave owner who stands up to this will have their business boom!
We need massive numbers of healthy biological males identifying as female and demanding to play on the girls teams and shower with them.
Once people see the nonsense that it is, it will end. No dying necessary. Exploit it and it will go away.
The best you can hope for us Trump to overturn Obama’s EO under the premise that it’s not a federal issue and he wants it decided by the states. Don’t expect him to fight for it though, he’s made it clear he won’t.
When you have large humanoids asking three and four year olds to “choose” which gender they want to be, I’d say it’s the large humanoids who have mental issues.
The People have already revolting. It just hasn’t gotten violent yet....yet.
Who is going to die on it? Obama is driving full-bore for the hoop, and Trump is ambivalent on the matter.
I thought Democrats are the party of “science” not religion?
Should.
Will he?
The world waits.
Agree. Private businesses? Boycott any business co-opted by the Obamanites, just as we shunned gunmakers who truckled to the Clinton Democrats in 1994.
Schools? Parents, teachers and school boards run schools, not the feds. The only problem may be from radical teachers’ unions, but parents (conservative parents, at least) will fight by passive resistance, refusing to cooperate.
“Hill to die on.” That’s rich, considering our comatose “hero” cucks in DC who made so many promises in 2013, but them showed their weakness, leading to this insanity: an official policy that allows grown men to share toilets with little girls and boys. All we’ve heard from these poltroons and their enablers here (many gone now, say thanks), like a broken record: from Obama’s eligibility to securing the border to defunding Planed Murderhood is, “This isn’t the hill to die on.”
So here we do it. Simply ignore this latest unlawful, perverse, tyrannical Obama executive order/diktat ... much like San Francisco and other cities ignore black letter federal immigration law.
All this (dangerous) nonsense will be moot in a few months. In the meantime, what are the feddies gonna do? Deny schools access to Moochie’s latest school lunch recipes? Refuse to continue their funding of indoctrination on globull warming? And why having two Mommies is a good thing? Stop school buses and surround them with Feeb and statie sharpshooters?
Lame duck Obama overreached himself too much this time. Leave him where he hoisted himself.
http://itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2013/01/a-comprehensive-list-of-lgbtq-term-definitions/
This list acknowledges a difference based upon biological sex, and that is the only sensible bathroom rule.
How else could you assign the appropriate bathroom for all these nebulous identities?
Obama’s rule is another way of going after children. Look at the definitions, one of them might as well be P for predator or R for rapist because there is no way of screening them out of the little girls’ room.
This is a war on girls and girlhood.
I have no intention of dying on this or any other hill. I want the commies to die on that or some other hill. Let them die for their cause.

Feds’ transgender guidance: Would schools lose funds?

-PJ
It goes both ways, small boys are not safe in men’s rooms. And a male who thinks she is a man will be demanding to use your bathroom, locker room, dressing room, etc. It’s already happened once and will happen more if we don’t stop the assault on the girls room’s.
A reminder Fed Funding for schools is usually aimed at the POOR children, so 0 wants to starve the POOR children in school districts that refuse to comply with his unlawful EO.
There are ways to overturn a bad EO http://www.ilonanickels.com/CC_executiveorders.html
That shipped sailed in April 1865.
Trump said the Feds should stay out and leave it up to the states.
