It’s like they can’t help being assholes.
Oh hey, it’s this asshole. This guy is the reason I reacted to that news about making all court rulings only apply locally with some humorous positivity. (also because humor helps me cope with general awfulness)
No, they absolutely can help being assholes. But for them it’s not enough to win, those they see as “losers” must suffer.
average Texas moment
This man’s such a piece of shit even Tyndale didn’t want to stick around.
All people are created equal (terms and conditions apply)
All people are created equal, but some are more equal than others.
that gives them too much credit
you are not people
All people are created equal.
Equality subject to change without notice.
Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk must have a lot of cases to handle since seemingly every far right case is filed in his court. We’re going to have so many judicial reforms to enact to bring back even the semblance of rule of law but add venue shopping to the list.
You have to wonder what this guy gets up to in private. Has anyone checked Grindr in his area?
Do you even need to check ?
Just wow! I can’t even express how dumbstruck I am by idiocy like this.
You know what isn’t protected in the US? Political affiliation.
Start denying MAGA trash employment and service.
Federal Judge in Texas? Dont even need to open the article to know that has to be that fucker in Amarillo.
Damn it I hate this timeline
I had the unpleasant experience of having to stay a night in Amarillo on a road trip. I went to a bar close to my hotel, and every single person including the fucking bartender was smoking.
It was disgusting, I got a large round of drinks for my group and we went to the patio where nobody was and away from the smoke, we did roshambo to determine who had to go back into the cancer room to get more drinks.
I had to go in twice and each time this man was over explaining pool to some woman, over what was probably 30 to 40 minutes I don’t think she ever took a shot, and that dude was still talking out his ass.
Also, just like in the movies some guy comes out and walks up to us and says, “y’all aren’t from around here”, I kinda got anxious, but it turned out he was a nice person and even educated and just desperate for a decent conversation.
Amarillo is a shit hole, and Lubbock is even worse, probably the most toxic air I have ever had to endure, it was nauseating.
Yup. For those who are not aware, they structured that district specifically so that all lawsuits filed in certain zip codes in Amarillo go to this guy. So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling, they find someone in Amarillo to file the lawsuit over it.
Hmm… Sounds blatantly illegal.
Put it on the pile, I guess.
When I was in high school, in government class we had an assignment where we had to draw different districts for Texas - that depending on how you divided it, you could make either party win.
It’s disgusting. It’s ultimately about denying African Americans representation.
It was a key component of the southern strategy that the Republican Party focused on. Basically, you don’t need to pack every court. Just structure one area in a way that one or two ultra-con judges can rule on everything.
So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling,
I read this as MAGA cunt ruling
Those two are basically the same now
Also says something about Amarillo
I’min general that they can always find their plaintiffs there.
It will eventually lead to the end of American based hegemony. It is going to take about a decade and a lot of suffering of the American people.
But on the flip side China will have more room to grow wheat.
it’s amazing to me how many people take pride in bigotry
I really dont get how you could be anything less than humiliated to take pride in, and belittle others, over something you have absolutely no part in.
While this 2008 bit is about Nationalism, the point is the same.
They should feel afraid instead. We’ve been slacking
About damn time! These fucking leftists were so mean to me by imposing onto me that I can’t harrass people based on their sexuality! Like… what kind of world are we leaving our children if they can’t even discriminate others peacefully?
Oh, no! It’s not just harassment!
You can destroy someone’s life and livelihood because you think they’re gay!
Getting fired from a job at a time when the federal gov is actively cutting social supports, and intentionally driving the economy to ruin when most U.S. citizens have meager savings (if any), and are dependent on employer provided health care is an instant path to free fall for most people! Unless those peasants have family that is willing and able to support them, or a high demand skill that will overlook a recent firing (an automatic D/Q on most HR systems), they are going to lose their ability to feed themselves, pay for their housing, and their transportation in this car-poisoned society.
It’s not merely a little ‘fuck you’ but you can end their relationships, destroy their health, prevent them from working in their chosen field, and make them die on the streets! Even barring the most extreme outcomes, the health and financial implications from the stress or loss of income can permanently adjust the trajectory of their life (and the life of everyone that is close to or dependent on them) downward.
Exciting times for soulless bigots!
Sadly, there isn’t a law against it.
Edit: But I’m sure it’s one of the very important things that the Democratic Party is totally gonna do someday like they always do whenever they have a majority in congress and/or presidency. Just you wait
How Christian of them.
Page 21 of the ruling:
First, the Enforcement Guidance contravenes Title VII’s plain text by expanding the scope of “sex” beyond the biological binary: male and female. Although Title VII defines “sex” to also include “pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions,” §2000e(k), the Enforcement Guidance concludes that “sex” under Title VII "includes ‘pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions’ and sexual orientation and gender identity." Enforcement Guidance, §I(A)(5) (emphasis added). Notably, the Guidance uses quotation marks around “pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions”—but not “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.” Because neither the plain text of Title VII nor Supreme Court precedent defines Title VII “sex” this broadly. Thus, the Enforcement Guidance lacks statutory or jurisprudential authority to expand Title VII’s definition of “sex” to include these new categories.
Interestingly, this also seems to provide a legal basis to discriminate against straight people and cis people. It’ll be interesting to see how Republicans attempt to close that extra loophole without also closing the loophole for discrimination against LGBTQ people.
Why can’t people be punished for being anti-lgbt? There is no non-religious reason to belive so and religion is an invalid reason. Because these people deserve punishment.
Why can’t people be punished for being anti-lgbt? There is no non-religious reason to belive so
The non-religious reasons aren’t discussed as often in the US but they do exist. As a great example, look at the USSR. Very not-religious and very, very against homosexuality.
LGBTQ should just start their own religion, with blackjack and hookers!
Fr tho lol
Pretty sure that satanic church would welcome them, theyre really great at using the christianity fueled peoples words and rules against them.
You run into issues since I believe the satanic church still claims to be an atheist organization. Something new is best.
Yeah, which is almost unfortunate because its one of the most godly churches in America, which is hilariously ironic and make me think of the whole, the devil will be worshiped as god and god worshipped as the devil. American Christians are largely satanic and the church of satan is extremely godly…lmao
They can join the TST II’m sure they will be welcome
