Twenty US states have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration after the US Department of Education ordered schools to allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports teams.
The lawsuit was filed at the US district court in Knoxville on Monday by a coalition of 20 Attorneys general led by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slattery
RT reports: The suit claims that an executive order issued by Biden in January, along with two directives issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Department of Education, amounted to an unlawful attempt to bypass Congress and change federal law.

Biden’s executive order tasked every federal agency with reviewing their policies to “prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.” Following the order, the EEOC and Department of Education issued their own guidance, which in the department’s case required schools and colleges to allow transgender women onto women’s sports teams.
Should a federally-funded school refuse to adhere to this, or refuse to allow a transgender student to use whatever bathroom they wish, the department’s guidance states that it can launch an investigation.
Biden’s order and the two memos that followed were based on an interpretation of Bostock v. Clayton County, a case that came before the Supreme Court last year. In a 6-3 verdict, the court ruled that employers cannot terminate employees “simply for being homosexual or transgender,” finding that the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s protections against “sex” discrimination also applied to “sexual orientation” and gender identity.
In the court’s ruling, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that “we do not purport to address bathrooms, locker rooms, or anything else of the kind.” Yet dissenting Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas predicted that the ruling would be used for just that, and the Biden administration has since proven them correct.
Dissent also came from Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who argued that retroactively reinterpreting the Civil Rights Act was not the job of the Supreme Court. “We are judges,” he wrote, “not Members of Congress. Our role is not to make or amend the law.”
Slattery echoed these words on Tuesday when speaking of the lawsuit. “This case is about two federal agencies changing law, which is Congress’ exclusive prerogative,” he said in a statement. “The agencies simply do not have that authority. But that has not stopped them from trying.”
The Democratic Party has thus far failed to pass the Equality Act, an ambitious piece of legislation that would actually write such protections for transgender people into the law. With the Senate split 50-50 between both parties, the act is unlikely to pass any time soon. In the meantime, any attempts to do so in piecemeal fashion, as in the case of the EEOC and Department of Education, will face Republican resistance and likely be decided by the courts.

In Dr. Montagu’s book “The Natural Superiority of Women” he stated that the only way that men are superior to women is this: Men have twice the upper torso body strength as women. In Leg strength and all others they are the same, so yes they have an edge over women in many sports. In any case Biden is a twit and should not be allowed to make any decisions since he is obviously demonically possessed. And what about that difference. People who are demonically possessed often have amazing physical power and strength beyond most human beings. Ask any Exorcist. That is the entire science behind the Military’s desire to make super soldiers. They want them to be demon possessed to become super killers. You will see when the Chinese and Russian soldiers invade America, Europe, Canada and Australia, they will be like aliens especially in Europe expect torture beyond anything in Horror movies. Aliens are actually demons from Hell. Since Governments signed the treaties with them they are taking total control of the world as the NWO, OWO. They live in all the wealthiest people on earth. Aliens from the higher realms of Heaven left in 1998 because the negative life killing energy on earth which comes from the demonic is too pervasive. They can’t exist in that type of environment. It is like wallowing in shit.
The English invaded more places than anyone ever.
I think we’ve even seen some of these super soldiers in action during level 5 covid lockdown.
Game playing Just giving the Supreme the opportunity to legalise it. And deceivers will deceive manipulate etc.
