Is Minnesota the 'uncivil rights' state?
With this being a civil rights case, oral arguments will be heard in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Eighth Circuit has one of the lowest rates of cases overturned by the Supreme Court. That makes this a difficult case for AG Keith Ellison to win. Further complicating things for AG Ellison is the fact that he's opposing "Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division." She'll bring to bear a ton of resources to this case. Top that off with the fact that Ellison has to overcome the fact that Title IX has been the law of the land for 50+ years. In this statement, Dhillon said:
“The Justice Department cannot ignore a state’s brazen defiance of federal antidiscrimination law. In service of radical gender ideology, Minnesota’s actions violate Title IX and deny female athletes their hard-earned trophies, records, dignity, and safety.This is history being made: First, Prof. David Schultz said that it is legal in some instances for the federal government to withhold funds from a state. I agree with that. Next, Prof. Schultz said that this case could be litigated all the way to the Supreme Court. I agree with Prof. Schultz on that, too.
DFL politicians are activist politicians. They don't pay much attention to the realities that normal people pay attention to. To the DFL, transgender rights are normal. To the DFL, gender identification is more important than chromosome structure.
If the people who wrote this legislation wanted biological males to compete with biological females, they could've written that provision into the bill. They didn't. That, most likely, will kill the chances for AG Ellison winning this lawsuit. Finally, Ellison isn't an AG as much as he's a world-class con man and fraudster.
