Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
 

The judge reached a verdict that Title VII only protects “firing someone simply for being homosexual or transgender,” but that it does not protect transgender or gay people from “harassment”

“In sum, Title VII does not bar workplace employment policies that protect the inherent differences between men and women,”

Judge Kacsmaryk further argued that disparate treatment of transgender employees does not constitute unequal treatment, reasoning that “a male employee must use male facilities like other males”—a statement that erases transgender identity altogether. He extended that logic to dress codes and pronouns, claiming that requiring employees to adhere to clothing standards and pronoun use based on their assigned sex at birth is not discriminatory because it applies “equally” to everyone.

We are so cooked

Well, I rule that federal judges can be [REDACTED] in workplaces or at home or the streets.

"you're not being fired, you're just being harassed to a permanent end"

Its not descrimination, [REDACTED] applies equally to everybody who thinks this.

Judge Kacsmaryk

He's horrible and he's fundie lunatic. So - of course - the GOP judge shops and funnels cases to him (and judges like him) where the GOP can basically be 100% certain how they'll rude.

Matthew Kacsmaryk

Notable cases

Conservative groups have strategically chosen to file lawsuits challenging many Biden administration policies in Kacsmaryk's division. Kacsmaryk is the only federal judge in the Amarillo Division of the Northern District; 95% of lawsuits filed there are assigned to him.

Ninja edit. The Wikipedia page seems like it might be intentionally bland and shitty. If you're interested in him and judge shopping - you'll have to find articles.

amerikkka is such a joke lmao. true indictment of liberalism that it couldnt prevent even the most basic of abuses of the system if you just play by the rules

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Not even liberalism, this is just a condemnation of common-law as a concept.

Like, this couldn’t happen in France and France is plenty liberal, but they don’t use court decisions to establish wide standing legal precedent
