Fitton: BREAKING: Six justices of Supreme Court attack our republican form of government --rewrite federal civil rights law, in exercise of raw judicial power, to change definition of "sex" to "sexual orientation" and "gender identity." Legislating from the bench is an abuse of power. (twitter.com)

I wonder what the hell is the point of these federal protections anyway. Most employment is at will. You can be fired at any time, for any reason. If an employer truly wanted to get rid of you for being a part of X demographic, they'll find some reason to get rid of you.

I don't understand the point of this at all. It just foments resentment afaic.

Resentment is useful for demoralization and destabilization.

I see crap like this and I'm like: "Well, maybe it's okay if the country fractures and I live in a conservative shard."

They sue for discrimination and companies have to PROVE that is not the case. It turns the concept of innocent until proven guilty on its head.
