Better late than never. In 2019, three Connecticut girls who participate on high school track teams filed a federal discrimination complaint against a statewide policy on transgender athletes, saying it has cost them top finishes in competitions and possibly college scholarships.
The conservative Christian law firm Alliance Defending Freedom filed the complaint on behalf of Selina Soule and two other minor girls Monday with the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights.
The case looked dead in the water in 2022 when the federal Second Circuit court of appeals affirmed the Connecticut federal trial-level court’s conclusion that the four Plaintiffs in the case had their case “mooted out” when they all graduated from high school. As Professor Jacobson said at the time:
We are watching in real time the destruction of the traditional liberal feminist movement under the weight of “trans rights,” as both the meaning of what it is to be a “woman” and traditional women’s spaces (single sex bathrooms and locker rooms, victim support spaces, and even prisons) increasingly are opened up to males who identify as females. If a recent appeals court decision is any indication, some of the most important spaces — women’s and girls’ sports — will not be spared…
If mere gender identification is enough, it’s hard to see how girls’ and women’s sports survive at an elite level. It doesn’t take many males identifying as females to take the top places.
In February of 2024, the Second Circuit issued an Order sua sponte (on its own, without motion by any party) reinstating the plaintiffs’ appeal, and ordering the case to be reheard en banc, or by every active member of the Second Circuit, sitting together. How that happened, we will never know, but it is an extremely rare occurrence.
Who did not get the memo that anything trans was to be affirmed? How did this happen? This is deep blue territory where this happened.
En Banc, the court rebuked the trial judge and ordered the case remanded to the trial judge who originally dismissed the case. That judge has now ordered the case to proceed to discovery.
Will wonders never cease?
Communist and former CIA director John Brennan recently appeared on MSNBC and questioned Tulsi Gabbard’s fitness for the national security role that Trump has tapped her for.
Brennan pushed the same lies that warmonger John Bolten has been pushing. By any means necessary they will try to smear anyone connected to Trump.
How John Brennan ever got inside our intelligence apparatus is an absolute wonder.
On Wednesday, following Donald Trump’s 2024 Election Day sweep, this chart made the rounds on the internet.
Americans and several prominent conservatives finally suddenly discovered the strange election results by Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Trumps numbers have now exceeded his 2020 numbers. Where did the 12-14 million votes that Biden supposedly got disappear to?
Would any or all of these explanations fit the bill?
— fraudulent ballots by the truckload
— ballots run thru tabulators multiple times
— fraudulent vote counts inserted from fraudulent thumb drives into the tabulating stream
— fraudulent switched votes within counting and tabulating equipment
— fraudulent fictional votes introduced within counting and tabulating equipment
