NC bathroom law

[Jim in CT]

The feds gave the governor 3 working days to repeal their bathroom law. Once again, it appears that the Obama administration needs to take high school civics, because the governor cannot unilaterally repeal a duly constituted law. The legislature needs to do that before he signs it.

3 days is also ridiculous. The governor asked for an extension. The feds agreed to give him a one week extension, ONLY IF the governor would acknowledge that his law was discriminatory. That's how this administration behaves...they will consider your rights, as long as you go on TV and admit they you were a bigot for daring to disagree with them.

As I understand it, the Civil Rights Act gives the feds the authority to prevent discrimination "based on sex". Well, for 235 years in this country, we always presumed that sex was determined by whether or not you were born with a wee-wee. The state of NC wants to have public bathrooms by sex. Everyone of one sex uses one restroom, everyone of the other sex uses the other restroom. We now live in an age, where that thought is at best controversial, at worst it's hatemongering.

You can choose what clothes to wear. You can choose how to wear your hair. You can choose whom to be romantically involved with. You cannot choose your sex, it's in the DNA you were born with.

I cannot believe we are even having this national conversation, and I honestly don't know what unites us as a country anymore.

And for the Obama administration to withhold an extension unless the governor went on TV and allowed them to throw eggs at his face...well, Obama's pettiness and vindictiveness never ceases to amaze. A world class azzhole.
