    So how are conservatives here feeling about Trump's amazing SCOTUS picks now that Trump's first pick wrote this pro-LGBT decision?

    I've seen some on this site say Trump's getting SCOTUS picks was their major motivation for voting for him over Hillary...

    I guess when Trump told us in the campaign that his election would be great for LGBT people he, for once, wasn't totally lying.

    "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
    "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
    "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

      If I 'identify' as a black woman, can I sue for discrimination when I was passed over for promotion as a white male?

          We have had those protections in my state for quite a while, so nothing will change here. What bothered me more was that they would not take up or decide the 2nd Amendment cases that came before them.

            Several of us have already weighed in on the matter.

              Only grumpy as a ruse when I don't want to be bothered, otherwise, spot on.
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  One look at his record over the decades clearly shows that Trump has always been very sympathetic toward gays and lesbians. That this comes as a surprise to you is no doubt a result on your relying on Young Turk videos and Hollyweird for all your information.

                    Well we were told that Gorsuch was a textualist. Obviously that wasn't true...

                          Gorusch is big on past precedent. This was a pretty cut and dried past precedent ruling.

                            What was the past precedent?

                              Several past cases and the language of Title VII are cited in the opinion

                                But he says clearly that Title VII only had biological sex in mind - so he took precedent over the text. What if he did that with the Constitution? And from what I read these precedents were ambiguous.
