What was the vote count when the bill was passed by the legislature? Was the margin of victory enough to override the governor’s quasi veto?
“””I think we have supported corporate Republicans and Democrats long enough. We supported all of their tax cuts deregulation and subsidies etc etc etc and what do we get in return?”””
I listened to Gov Noem’s speech at CPAC and she waxed eloquently about tax cuts and less regulations.
But nary a word came from her mouth about immigration and globalism.
You are correct, what do we get in return from the Republicans who only feather the corporate nests and care less about the workers in the USA?
There is abill right now in California stating that cops who have conservative views about things such as traditional marriage, will be fired if they have posted those views online. Citing that such views are hateful and should not be present in 5he police force.
We are inching closer and closer to soddom and ghomorrah. Pretty soon it Wil. Be illegal to voice anything that isn’t pro soddomy. Heck, they are forcing kids in schools now to accept deviant behavior. One school apparently even forced a 1/2 black child to admit he had “white privilege”.
The left are no kinder interested in diversity of views, nor in upholding the constitution. They are engaged in a hostile violent takeover of practically everything, punishing anyone who resists
A supermajority is required to override Noem.
In the South Dakota House the original bill passed with enough votes to override. But in the SD Senate it did not pass with a super majority.
Good points. It’s too early to be condemning her just yet. We will just have to wait to see how this all plays out first. I’ll reserve judgement until then.
Remarkable how many people agree with me on this and express support either publicly on the forum or through private messaging. Why aren’t you guys more aggressive about questioning the Chamber of Commerce mindset that we see so often o this board and in conservative circles?
I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
Keep in mind that CPAC is pretty much organized and sponsored by the globalist/corporate wing of the GOP.
Why do corporations want transvestites interfering with the childhoods of little girls? Bizarre.
So the first thing she wanted changed would have set up a system where people would need to PROVE they are one sex or the other and the other would have set up “reparations” for anyone who felt they were discriminator against...
But we WANT kids to undergo genetic screening and give government payouts to anyone who thinks they are “aggrieved”?
I’m getting some mixed signals here.
“Noem’s spin calling her actions as only ‘style and form’ is not fooling anyone.”
That’s almost worst than wanting to gut the bill - spinning it by thinking her base (i.e., us) are a bunch of idiots.
I can see dropping the higher education part. The students are adults and get to choose what university to go to.
>>required students to annually verify their age, biological sex based on genetics and reproductive biology, and attest that they had not taken performance-enhancing drugs, including anabolic steroids, in the preceding 12 months. <<
Annually verifying your age seems kind of stupid too. Just add a 1 to last year’s age daah.
Verifying sex based on genetics and reproductive biology? Every year? For what? To see if they had a sex change? Most never go through all that. They just call themselves girls. Seems like an invasion of privacy too. Have them sign something that says their a biological female. The truth will come out in the locker room or something anyway. The other kids will find out somehow.
Genetically? What are they going to do? Take a DNA sample every year?
I don’t have a problem with what Noem is doing. As long as there’s a law that says boys can’t play in girl’s sports, that’s all that’s needed. A birth certificate is required to get into school so the school knows their DOB and all that yearly testing stuff will open things up for law suits.
Just make the law, no boys in girl’s sports and let the schools and kids handle the rest.
Is this a case of neverNoemers?
I don’t know her full record but she damn sure handled the covid thing like a true conservative. RNC/GOP doesn’t like people like that.
The issue is not “women’s sports”.
The issue is, can you be made to profess that 2+2=5 if the Party says so, and eventually, can you be tortured until you, too, believe it?
She has already ended any consideration of her for national office as a Republican.
There is no recovery from this.
Thank you for that informed post. I’m not going to react viscerally to this like so many others on this thread are, but will wait to see how this shakes out.
It is not possible to change your sex.
“She’s doing her best to keep those potential corporate donors on her side for a future POTUS campaign.”
Jeb had an UNSTOPPABLE War Chest, the certain 2016 candidate to go up against Skunk Cabbage.
...only thing Jeb didn’t have were the votes of the base in the Primaries. Now we have Jeb-in-drag doing a repeat.
“I do not believe FReepers consider The Federalist as ‘fake news/exaggerated news.”
Nor is anyone disputing the accuracy of the reporting of HER demands.
“To end guys in women sports, I suggest allowing NBA players to play in the WNBA. That would be amusing”
I’ve been saying something similar, and still think it will work. Have your sons put on some lipstick and a wig and then have them, in large numbers, take over girls’ sports. Make it PAINFUL for our friends running the schools to have to keep this policy.
Destroying girls’ sports (which is underway slowly, anyway) is the best way to end it, once and for all.
“I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would need a state law to keep boys out of girls sports. Isn’t this what school boards and sports governing bodies are supposed to do?”
Sounds like you don’t have kids in the public schools these days, or you’d already know the answer.
