I’m not a lawyer, but find it interesting that the ruling cites a case from 1973 stating that transgender individuals have not been relegated “to such a position of political powerlessness as to command extraordinary protection from the majoritarian political process.” When a governor issues an executive order that effectively ends what had been a legal right, as Braun did, that action in itself would seem to go beyond the usual majoritarian political process. Having rights taken away by the stroke of one person’s pen would seem to be evidence of political powerlessness that might call for some protection. And, any ruling from 1973 commenting on the current political power of transgender people would seem to be quite outdated — even a ruling from a few years ago would be outdated now, given the recent rise of rather venomous anti-transgender sentiment into the most powerful political positions in the state and nation.
Good point Steve! Thanks for that insight. Indiana government continues to embarrass at every turn.
Braun and Rokita need to ask themselves, “what would Jesus do?”
do you think they care???
If you are not a sexually typical white male Christian in Indiana (who, by the way, comprehensively control the state’s government, legislature and judicial systems), you are not a valued citizen deserving a humane life and all constitutional freedoms.
