In a shocking U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decision, Justice Neil Gorsuch voted with the axis of evil—that is, with Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor. In Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, the axis of evil decided that in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the word “sex” includes “sexual orientation” and “gender identity”—both subjectively constituted conditions. As a result, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on “race, color, religion, sex, and national origin,” now prohibits employers from firing employees who self-identify as homosexual or as the sex they are not and never can be.

Did they find him in a closet with a dead girl or a live boy?
I’m shocked full of shock.
Seeing NONE of our domestic enemies paying for their crimes against America is encouraging the others to come out.
Am expecting another resurgance here.
I guess everybody has a $$Price$$,
Come on guys. Who cares? Aren’t you more concerned with the legitimacy of tearing up downtowns as well as monuments. That has more to do with telling us where to go rather than which orifice one prefers stimulated.

They’re all uniparty frauds.
To start with, we stop believing the Federalist Society candidates are constitutionalists. They are when it’s convenient.
A bit surprising that they went for a 6-3 decision on this, usually they just call in the votes they need. I wonder if they are trying to take away Trump’s campaign point that he has delivered with two conservative Justices.
They are legislating from the bench.
The only recourse is to re-write the 1964 Civil Rights Act in Congress. Make it really explicit what (who) is covered and who is not covered. We need to control both the House and the Senate.
6-3 or 5-4 makes no difference, the court has decided. Move on.
I’m fine with the effect of the ruling, but not the way they got there. This is pure law-writing from the bench, when it should have been sent to Congress to write the law they want. They would have done so and happily passed it quickly, too.
Gorsuch Is the new Kennedy.
To think that “discriminating taste” used to be a compliment.
I’m glad I knew Grandpa’s America. I do miss it.
The progressive cancer has metastasized.
I see you point but pause for a minute to consider not the result of this decision, but the basis. The basis is that the judiciary is making law, which erodes the principle of separation of powers. Our liberty is completely dependent on the separation or powers, on each branch of the government doing only that role tat was assigned to it. Once the government decides that governance is a free for all where only the result matters, we are doomed.

Skip down to “JUSTICE SCALIA, dissenting.”
It shouldn’t be a matter for the federal government, period, but I agree that what the Court did was particularly bad. An extremely activist decision disguised as conservative interpretation.
Unfortunately, “perceived sex” or “transexuals” are not written into the Civil Rights Act.
When being literal for your basis, I fail to see how anyone can read these terms into the word, “sex.”
“SCOTUS Decision Shockingly Written by Gorsuch”
Not shocking in the least. When the info about his church, specifically his minister, became public, I knew he was no conservative. I recall that POTUS Trump was enthralled with Gorsuch, but PDJT has been wrong about 75% of the time when it comes to selecting people.
As someone said in another posting, Obama's great transformation has begun, or rather, is coming to pass.
Have I missed something?
I’m reading from the federalist.....by Benjamin Dierker that the Supreme Courts decisions are NOT final....it’s a good read and I may have misread it but the district courts don’t have to follow the Supremes decisions but I’m not a lawyer so I refer to those on here that can make sense of it.......
