NEWS: Judge John Broomes, a Trump appointee in Kansas, today blocked the Biden admin Title IX rule as to Alaska, Kansas, Utah, & Wyoming — but also any school nationwide where Young America's Foundation members or the kids of Moms for Liberty go. Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I will suggest that "Democrats are not allowed to do anything when in power and Republicans can break the law, it's cool" is not a fair arrangement, nor a productive one

Tip of the iceberg. They’re coming after every policy, every rule — anything that mildly inconveniences a corporation or tightens the sphincter of an Evangelical. Without Chevron deference, say goodbye to clean air, clean water, safe food and so much more.

Yep, and abortion drugs and oral contraceptives as well

Looking at current size of 60% of amerikans, obese, that healthy train left the station a few million gallons of sticky sweet corn syrup ago. Capitalism doesn’t work if you protect these.

Trying to wrap my brain around the special combination of specificity and stupidity. It's not even worth noting how unenforceable this is. It's best to fully hollow out the population of these states from anybody under the age of 48

Wait, so they’re blocking enforcement of Title IX? Isn’t that what they’ve been claiming to be in support of & using kids as photo op props for the past few years?

They are blocking enforcement of the new idk clarifications (they say rules but I don't think it actually changes any rule) that state that trans kids can't be discriminated against. Because they want to discriminate against trans kids.

Ok, I had figured that was the case. I thought Title IX & Title VII of the CRA of 1964 worked in conjunction bc of the Bostock ruling. www.justice.gov/crt/title-ix...
Title IXwww.justice.gov

I mean they SHOULD but these judges are saying otherwise.
Why aren't Dems running ads saying Republicans love discrimination? Time to go low, or just be honest already. No more "Maga" Republican BS. Republicans don't separate the left from Democrats & it's why their base thinks Democrats are communists.

Because they don't want to be seen as "divisive"
Right, as if we aren't already divided.

Because everybody for whom that is a motivating argument is already going to vote for Democrats and smart campaigns don't waste money to vote moves that don't need moving?

They should straight up run ads showing Trump sexually harassing that poor little girl and then remind everyone that SCOTUS made it do there is no criminal liability for him and he can do whatever he wants once in office.

Well, aren't "the kids of Moms for Liberty" just so special?

This decision doesn't even make any god damned sense.

This is where firing all of Trump's federal bench appointments could bear fruit, you know, because the President can do nothing illegal...

Just one piece of beginning.
Good think I put my big boy judge pants on this morning and can now dictate the course of the nation.

I hope those who can make a difference now figure out how to see under the surface and help steer us clear of further damage. Another 4-6 months of progress towards this before we pivot with the election will be soon enough.
