Just a reminder that yesterday four Republicans in the West Virginia legislature introduced a bill that would make being openly trans in the presence of a minor child a felony punished by five years in prison.

There are 10 phases to a genocide. This puts the US at phase 6.

@amaditalks There are, I think, 3-4 reasons this law would be unconstitutional for what small comfort that provides. DISCLAIMER: my opinion is based on the content of your post. I have not read the bill.

@bmeatty unconstitutional according to everybody who can understand the plain meaning of just about every aspect of the constitution, or unconstitutional according to the rapists, cult members and assholes that represent the majority on SCOTUS?

@amaditalks @bmeatty all “unconstitutional” means anymore is that a case has to make it in front of our extreme, lifetime-appointed fundamentalist SCOTUS. Congress is hamstrung, and those folks have proven themselves to have not an ounce of shame in following a theocratic agenda that has no reflection of the typical American sentiment.

@hacks4pancakes @amaditalks I was simply referring to SCOTUS precedents. Sadly, current members of SCOTUS have agendas that trump (pun intended) a reasoned application of precedents. If folks believe stare decisis might be applied then this bill might die. Personally, I think your observations are correct and I do not expect a happy outcome.
