U.S. government and N. Carolina escalate legal fight over transgender law
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
U.S. government and N. Carolina escalate legal fight over transgender law | 09 May 2016 | A fight between the Obama administration and North Carolina over a state law limiting public bathroom access for transgender people escalated on Monday as both sides sued each other, trading accusations of civil rights violations and government overreach. The U.S. Justice Department's complaint asked a federal district court in North Carolina to declare that the state is violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act and order it to stop enforcing the ban. Hours earlier, North Carolina's Republican governor, Pat McCrory, and the state's secretary of public safety sued the agency in a different federal court in North Carolina, accusing it of “baseless and blatant overreach.”
