UPDATE: NC NOT BACKING DOWN! – Obama DOJ now THREATENING NC over bathroom law

by The Right Scoop

This is just ridiculous. The Obama DOJ has written a letter to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory telling him the new HB2 bathroom law is in violation of civil rights and is therefore illegal.

Yes you read that right, transgenderism and the bathrooms they must use is now a civil right. To hell with the safety and protection of women and children. Grown men MUST be able to use the women’s bathroom.

The Obama DOJ is giving NC until monday to stop enforcing the law or they will deny the state hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding:

Below is the Governor’s short response where he tells North Carolinians that the Obama administration has put their right of privacy in jeopardy:

“A claim by the Obama administration charges that one part of House Bill 2, which requires state employees in public government buildings and students in our universities to use a restroom, locker room and shower facility that match their biological sex, is now in violation of federal law. The Obama administration has not only staked out its position for North Carolina, but for all states, universities and most employers in the U.S.

“The right and expectation of privacy in one of the most private areas of our personal lives is now in jeopardy. We will be reviewing to determine the next steps.”

UPDATE: NC Lawmakers not backing down!

North Carolina’s Republican leaders are showing no signs of backing down from their new bathroom rules despite the U.S. Justice Department’s declaration that they violate federal civil rights laws and could cost the state dearly in lost education funding.

Gov. Pat McCrory called the Justice Department’s threat — which gives the state and its university system until the close of business Monday to change the law or face the consequences in court — a broad overreach of federal authority.

“This is no longer just a North Carolina issue, because this conclusion by the Department of Justice impacts every state,” McCrory said.

“I thought it was a very common-sense rule, but the federal government is now saying those are discriminatory practices,” McCrory said during a Wednesday evening forum with the state’s chamber of commerce in Raleigh.

McCrory and House Speaker Tim Moore, who helped pass the law the governor signed in March, said separately they would be examining the state’s options. Moore told reporters the letter to McCrory was an attempt by President Barack Obama’s administration to push a “radical left agenda” in his final months in office.

“Basic concepts — common sense about privacy and expectations of privacy — are getting thrown out the window by what the Obama administration is trying to do in this,” Moore said.
