OPINION:
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of Little vs. Hecox, and in so doing, decide whether Idaho’s duly legislated and passed ban on males in female sports — that means you, transgender! — is constitutional.
That this question actually has to be decided by any court, never mind the country’s highest court, is an affront to both females and sanity.
It just shows how far America has fallen.
It just shows how morally degraded America has become.
And since liberty for the individual is dependent upon the ability of the individual to self-govern, and since only those of strong moral character are able to tame their base instincts so as not to need constant government oversight — it just shows how far from free Americans have moved. And the courts.
“In the 13th hour of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing,” USA Today wrote in March of 2022, “Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., asked the Supreme Court nominee: ‘Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?’ Jackson, appearing confused, responded, ‘I’m not a biologist.’”
This is the same Ketanji Brown Jackson who will listen as Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador, through his chosen legal team, makes the pitch to the Supreme Court justices that, in essence, men shouldn’t be allowed to play in women’s sports, even if these men say they’re actually women — even if these men dress as women — even if these men take medical treatments they’re told will turn them into women. Lie, lie, lie. Only God determines the sexes. Only God fashions males versus females. Only God creates boys versus girls; in His image, He makes them, male and female. No more. No less. That’s it. Legally, the case will focus on Idaho’s “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” and determine whether it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
“The most important [argument in this case] is that the 14th Amendment does not prevent a state from protecting its girls when it comes to participating in sports and that there’s no special classification that allows boys to participate in girls’ sports,” Labrador said, Fox News reported.
That’s right. Seems simple. Seems easy. Seems common sense.
Seems to be the way to protect females from needless injuries.
As The Heritage Foundation wrote in March of 2024, “Trans Athlete Injures Multiple Girls, Forcing Team To Forfeit. Wither Thou, Feminism?”
Yes. Wither thou indeed.
Little vs. Hecox was filed in 2020, after a male athlete pretending to be a female, named Lindsay Hecox, sued the state of Idaho to compete on the Boise State University’s women’s cross-country team. The U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho granted a preliminary injunction that blocked enforcement of the law banning males in female sports. The injunction was upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Now comes the U.S. Supreme Court, and not only Labrador but all people of sound and sane mind hope the High Court will put to rest, once and for all, the right of the voters, the legislators, the state to protect females and preserve women’s sports from men masquerading as something they’re not. It’s a case that will speak loudly and clearly about the moral compass and mental competence of the country — of the country’s citizens — and that will either lead America back down a path of normalcy and sanity, or farther down a road of dark evil, deception and decay.
Just don’t ask Ketanji Brown Jackson to lead.
And that someone like Ketanji Brown Jackson should be allowed a position to determine this matter sets all of America on a very precarious edge.
