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.

@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.
