Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion in Bostock v. Clayton County (June of this year) The ruling expanded protections against employee discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, redefining male or female “sex” to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” Gorsuch punted on the religious liberty issues raised by the ruling.
I’m not a legal expert, and I hope I'm wrong, but it seems to me that even though this applies strictly speaking only to the workplace, it will only bolster the case the Dems are making for the insane “Equality Act” and give legal ammo to trans “females” who want to compete in high school/college women’s sports—which is basically cheating and outrageously unfair to biological women. (What about THEIR civil rights?)
I’m still confident Gorsuch will rule in Trump’s favor if/when the cases come before SCOTUS. (Consolidated, perhaps.) The statistical and eye-witness evidence of fraud is blatant, governors and election officials have usurped the Constitutional prerogative of State Legislatures to make election rules and regulations, and there is solid precedent in Gore v. Bush's citing of the 14th Amendment “equal protection” clause, since, e.g., Republican observers were obstructed/harassed in polling stations and different rules and procedures were applied across different counties.
Like I said, I'm no legal eagle, but IMHO Gorsuch will see that stretching Civil Rights Act definitions is one thing; an all-out assault on the Constitution and the rule of law is another.
I'd argue the way HE framed it was clear, at least for the gay/lesbian part. The trans part is trickier, but would at least look like it'd be "mtf" or "ftm" only, instead of this crazy free-for-all it's become. Remember, he helped strike down the law on deportation because vague laws are bad for America and told congress to get their shit together and pass an actual law instead of the vague BS it was. Did it make it harder for Trump? Yes, but I'd rather have a principled guy who puts the constitution first than a lickspittle.
Never though highly of him but he has my respect
