Shocking SCOTUS Decision Shockingly Written by Gorsuch
Illinois Family Institute ^ | 6/16/2020 | Laurie Higgins

Posted on 06/16/2020 10:20:54 AM PDT by stars & stripes forever

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.

There is no way in 1964 sexual orientation was the intent of the law. Pure power grab. The system is completely broken and will not be fixed. You have to play the game and put in conservative idealogue judges that will give you the outcomes you desire.

A deviant mind or someone who is an excellent liar without need for PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, such a genitalia, now has the run of the business they work for.

The blackmail will be horrendous.

The man turned out to be a cowardly leftist scumbag who would have followed the orders of the mass-murdering tyrants of the 20th Century without blinking.

Have you ever seen the way Gorsuch looks at Roberts?

Congress likes it this way.

I’m actually surprised there wasn’t a critical mass making sure they’d get a chance to pass it before the election.

Spoiling Trump’s conservative Justices claim may have been a higher priority to them.

I recall lots of posters hated Gorsuch and warned about him .
I am speechless how bad many of these picks have been .
I think Javanka is at the root of these bad choices .

So Gorsuch is a sellout. Might have known. But frankly I am more upset about the SC refusal to hear a case on sanctuary cities. Apparently the SC is fine with cities thumbing their noses at federal law. Now that is a decision not to decide, which carries far more ominous meaning than the right to fire homosexuals. If the supremacy clause goes, there goes the republic.

“You have to play the game and put in conservative idealogue judges that will give you the outcomes you desire.”

That’s why we must elect Republican Presidents and a Republican Senate.

Come on guys. Who cares?

So what's the plan?

Which city, which monument, which police precinct are you going to head up the rescue of today?

Lead on!

From 2017. Some of these are obviously outdated.

5 faith facts on Trump's Supreme Court pick, Neil Gorsuch

January 31, 2017
  1. Gorsuch, 49, now attends an Episcopal church, but he attended Catholic schools.
  2. Gorsuch has supported religious groups against the U.S. government.
  3. Gorsuch opposes euthanasia and assisted suicide, two positions that coincide with the views of a majority of Christian denominations.
  4. Gorsuch has not ruled in an abortion-related case.
  5. Gorsuch reminds some, rightly or wrongly, of Scalia, who was a conservative, an originalist and who spoke often of his Catholic faith.

Haven’t read the legal reasoning. Later.

This ruling creates a whole bunch of what-about’s, what-if’s and what-now’s going into the future.

You’ll need video of a live killing and cannibalism before considering firing a tranny. But the guy who does the recording of the video will get fired in half a second.

I saw a certain high profile freeper on twitter defending the liberals decision not to hear the sanctuary state case.

Gorsuch Is the new Kennedy.

Roberts is the new RBG.

I think the court is just standing up for their brother lawyers since this will undoubtedly create even more law suits.

"Where do we go from here?"

Win the argument with the public and change the law? This isn't a constitutional right that was created, it was an interpretation of a law. Congress could change the text of the law if there was the will to do it. We are crying like liberal babies hoping for the supreme court to save us because we don't have the power, will, or party to make changes in the law.

Frankly I don’t care what people do in the privacy of their bedroom.

But I agree 100% with you that they should have heard the sanctuary cities case. That is an absolute mess.
