BILLINGS, Mont. — Just hours after a Montana judge blocked health officials from enforcing a state rule that would prevent transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate, the Republican-run state on Thursday said it would defy the order.
ACLU attorney Malita Picasso expressed dismay with the agency’s stance and said officials should immediately start processing requests for birth certificate changes. The move could leave state officials open to contempt of court charges, which in some cases can lead to jail time for offenders, Tobias said. He added that the attorneys representing the state were likely aware of the potential consequences but were “caught in the middle” between a recalcitrant agency and the judge.
Moses said during Thursday morning’s hearing that his April ruling had been “clear as a bell” and compared the state’s subsequent actions to a person twice convicted of assault who tries to change their name following a third accusation to avoid a harsher punishment.
Typical! The GOP has lost its way! They only think of themselves. I bet Reagan and Lincoln are Turing in their grave the way the party is acting. This is NOT their party any longer.
So, it's State by State for Abortion Laws. To set how the particular State sees fit but, This is being challenged. Someone Please make this make sense. I don't care one way or another, how you identify. However, it is a Personal Matter Just the Same.
Smh
Arrests need to be made
The trans community is awful. Why are we always being forced to accept LGBTQ policies? We don't want to know or deal with this crap.
How does the birth certificate issue even affect them for bloody sakes. It does not!
Big Lie country
Forget the issue at hand, this is open defiance of the law by the state's top officials. That's textbook criminal behavior, no different than a common criminal.
Usurping the rule of law seems totally ok.
so jail the motherfuckers.
Sweet - nothing matters so lets fucking gooooooooo
Tell me again how you’re the “rule of law” party. Same shit different day….
Then we can defy the SCOTUS right?
If Trump’s-terrorists worked as hard on doing useful things in Montana instead of discriminating against a small group of people like this we would all have a much better State to live in.
getting blatantly obvious there is no real reason for this, solves no REAL problem and serves ONLY to put trans in situations they're more likely to experience discrimination and/or worse. NO reason trans should have to out themselves every time they show BC!
You can't change how you were born. I don't care where the politics falls on this issue. Either you had a schlong at birth or you didn't.
Yes, because biology is pretty clear.
This is always the way it was going to go. What happens when the Republicans stop listening to the judiciary? Rich Republicans put them in office so they aren't going to prosecute them.
You mean like Democrats defying immigration laws
Wisdom of Solomon and the compassion of Jesus needed. Strictly Godly.
Sus
Until the GOP starts facing consequences for its lawlessness it will only continue. They are above the law. potus and TheDemocrats need to realize this and start enforcing the law, now
