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.
It is happening NOW, look at why Mr. Trump is NOW the GOP FRONTRUNNER. People have had ENOUGH.
Soon to be sued and fined into oblivion.
Trump is going to win. I am sure of it.
+1.
Amazing that an Establishment pundit can write entire piece on “states rights” without ever saying “states rights”. What is he afraid of? So is the term “states rights” unPC?
ADVICE FROM A PERVERT DAD TO HIS SON
Well now, my son, I’ll tell you what to do.
Go make a visit to the ladies’ loo.
If a gal then hollers: “molestation!”
You just yell right back “deescrimination!”
And should some brazen hussy then ask: “Why?”
You need to say: “Well I identify!”
“I identify, I identify!”
Yes, yes, my dear, I identify!”
And if a little girl there says: “Pretext!”
You look and say: “Well, little girls are next!”
The tipping point passed when the half breed was elected. When someone in government, at ANY level, talks about fundamental change, it is We the people who get screwed. AND WE HAVE SCREWED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
DeathCare came and no one even read the damn bill. I tried to get my then Congressman to object to the resolution to dispense with the reading. Not interested. Millions marched. Who cares? Certainly not the dukes and duchesses in Versailles on the Potomac. AND WE KEEP ELECTING THE SAME PEOPLE WHO KEEP SCREWING US!!
The situation in this geographical entity is very similar to France in 1789 and Russia in 1917. And we know how that turned out. Why have we allowed matters to get out of control? Are we truly a nation of cowards as Holder claimed we were?
Represents another tool for imposing tyranny, just as was the so-called "Affordable Care Act," which had nothing "to do with" health care, but was paraded as a Trojan Horse containing multiple intrusions of government power and oppression over citizens.
This whole directive is to encourage confusion in young children and lead them into depravity, nothing less. The suicide rate for transgenders is astronomic, and the life expectancy for those who make the change medically is dramatically reduced.
“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.”
When is the last time they messed up their timing on any cultural issue? I don’t know, that we are even having this conversation is pretty bad cultural indicator, right? I mean this looks a lot like the ‘gay marriage’ thing to me 20 years before it was just imposed like it was really no big deal.
