The Department of Justice – the thoroughly compromised Eric Holder/Loretta Lynch organization which Barack Obama uses the way a ventriloquist uses a dummy – has declared that North Carolina’s legislation to keep bathrooms gender-specific has violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act (I swear I’m not making this up). And the Obama administration is threatening to withhold federal aid over it.
Think I’m kidding? Well, read this excerpt from Alan Blinder and Richard Fausset’s article in the New York Times , and see for yourself:
The Republican leaders of North Carolina’s General Assembly defiantly announced Thursday that they would not meet a Monday deadline to suspend or repeal a state law limiting bathroom access for transgender people, setting up a potential legal showdown over what has become one of the nation’s most explosive cultural issues.
“We will take no action by Monday,” said Tim Moore, the speaker of the State House of Representatives, referring to the deadline the Justice Department gave the state to tell federal officials whether the law would stand. “That deadline will come and go.”
Though Mr. Moore criticized the deadline as “unreasonable,” he also seemed to signal that Republicans might eventually agree to alter the law, which forbids people to use public building restrooms that do not match the gender listed on their birth certificates.
“The legislative process doesn’t work where a response can be given by just a few days,” he said, “so we’re going to move at the speed that we’re going to move at to look at what our options are at this point.”
His comments, as well as a private meeting later with a leading critic of the law, Mayor Jennifer Roberts of Charlotte, were indications that lawmakers here may be concerned about the potentially damaging consequences of keeping the law intact and defying the Justice Department.
The Obama administration contends that the law violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and its finding could push the federal government to withhold in federal aid.
I have a few questions for the Obama administration:
-What happens if the folks in North Carolina tell Obama & Co. that when Mr. Obama and the DOJ can show where the 1965 Civil Rights Act talks about gender and bathrooms, let us know?
-And if they can (which, of course, they can’t), what happens if North Carolina demands a detailed explanation of why this has not been enforced in North Carolina or anywhere else by the Obama Administration until now?
-And if Obama and Lynch persist with their threat to withhold federal aid because their interpretation of a federal law is not being enforced, what happens if North Carolina’s answer is “When you withhold federal aid from every state that allows there to be “sanctuary cities” for illegal aliens, get back to us and we’ll talk. We CAN show you the federal laws on that”?
Political correctness has its problems. One of them is rank hypocrisy.
If North Carolina hangs tough (though I expect it to, at least partially, knuckle under, but don’t know for sure), maybe we’ll see just how deep the problems with this example of PC really are.
Why are you questioning the Perverts & Pedophiles Protection Law?
The danger is not from a very few individuals who have had a plumbing-dicomy – it is from your ordinary, garden-variety sicko.
And from hormone-driven adolescents, who will use it as an excuse to hang out and ogle the scene in locker rooms, showers.
I do thank the Obama regime for improving my comprehension of the literature of George Orwell – Animal Farm, 1984. The dystopia Orwell writes about is unbelievable – until Barry & Co.
