Transgender teen can't legally change name until age 21, Mississippi Supreme Court rules, even though both parents support change https://www.advocate.com/law/mississippi-transgender-teen-name-change

Bans on gender affirming care are so obviously not rooted in science or parental rights.

Now, I'm not a fan of his, but at the rate that even fellow Americans are being converted in Latin-American style #LosDesaparecidos 1)... well, he has a point making a historical comparison with Nazi occupied #France 🇫🇷.

Vive la Résistance!

Text of the ERA:

Section 1: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.

Section 2: The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3: This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

If the Supreme Court happily grants conservative Christians exemptions from health care laws on religious liberty grounds (which they do all the time), then progressive Christians and nonChristians ought to be able to eligible for them too

Progress seems to be some sort of dance.
Two steps forward, one step back.

Once, there were signs in places that read, "Whites only!" or "Blacks & Mexicans Not Allowed"
Now, we have signs that read, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason."

There is no accountability for discrimination now. An establishment can systematically deny service to any demographic they choose, without being charged with discrimination. To put together a case for discrimination, would require a large data set, that would include the name of the establishment, and the demographics of the person denied service. Then, you would have to prove that there was a strong enough statistical correlation to make the case for discrimination. Then there would be drawn out legal battles, and the courts favor the rich. A class action lawsuit against an establishment that discriminates illegally, would be very hard to put together.

We may be running on a treadmill, with the lure of money (the carrots) dangled to tempt us, the fear of poverty (the stick) threatening us, and token illusions of progress to keep us motivated.

Maybe we need to change tactics, and step off the treadmill.
When no temptation and no fear can dissuade us from seeking equal rights and justice, that will be progress.

...their peers or another branch of government. (#Impeachment, at least in its current form, is clearly not working for the Presidential office, the chief reason being the undemocratic #filibuster.)

So, any any special Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights ( #LEBOR, #LEOBR, or #LEOBoR) for the police is undemocratic and should be ruled unconstitutional, including contractual means to circumvent this fact.

#DonJr is a #TrumpOrganization exec & a defendant in the case & was responsible for filing some of the statements after his father was elected president. #Ivanka is a fmr #TrumpOrg exec & was originally a defendant in the case, but an appeals court dismissed the claims against her on statute of limitations issues.

#Suarez questioned #Bender about his interactions w/the Manhattan DA’s office.

#law #legal #FediLaw #TrumpTrial #TrumpOrganization #NY #Civil

#Engoron then asked how long this would take. #Suarez said he will finish his cross-examination of Bender in ~1½ hrs.

During his questioning of #Bender, #Trump's lawyer asked Bender if he ever consulted w/#DonaldTrumpJr. or #IvankaTrump about the #financial statements that the AG contends were grossly inflated.

"Not that I recall," he said of both.

EEOC Sues on Behalf of Muslim Employee http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2023/09/eeoc-sues-on-behalf-of-muslim-employee.html

Employer told him to shave his religiously mandated beard or lose his job.

Religious practices like this that harm no one should be accommodated.

EEOC Sues Over Refusal of Religious Accommodation to Christian from Vaccine Mandate http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2023/09/eeoc-sues-over-refusal-of-religious.html

This seems like an odd use of the EEOC's limited resources.

The Supreme Court's decision in Groff v. DeJoy, which made it easier to seek religious accommodations at work under Title VII, invited lawsuits like this one.

I just didn't expect the EEOC to join in.

#law #lawfedi #fediLaw #TitleVII #religion #vaccines

There was also debate in #Groff about whether the calculus consider the effects on employees

The Court has held that "Impacts on coworkers are relevant only to the extent those impacts go on to affect the conduct of the business."

The Supreme Court in Groff also makes clear that hostility to a particular religion or religious accommodations is not the type of coworker impact that should be taken into consideration.

#SCOTUS #SupremeCourt #TitleVII #religion #Law #lawFedi #Fedilaw

In Groff v. DeJoy, an postal worker wanted Sundays off to observe his Sabbath, which forced coworkers to cover for him.
His employer refused

Title VII requires that employers accommodate the religious needs of their employees unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship

The #SupremeCourt has in the past interpreted this standard leniently: “An ‘undue hardship’ is one that results in more than a de minimis cost to the employer.”

#law #lawFedi #LawProf #Fedilaw #SCOTUS #TitleVII

Why wasn't SCOTUS all onboard given its record of privileging religion regardless of cost?

Maybe
One, it was a clash between two of its favorite things, religion and business

Two, Kavanaugh observed there were religious interests on both sides, the Sabbath observer employee who felt compelled to go to church on Sunday and his coworkers who would cover him who might have wanted to go to church on Sunday.

Rachel provided moving remarks on Randle DeFalco’s terrific new book “Invisible Atrocities.” The book discusses the aesthetic biases of ICL.

Rachel recounted the inhumanity of incarceration without parole, or as she calls it “death by incarceration.”
