Top Right News – by Brian Hayes
Barack Obama went way too far with his unconstitutional overreach in attempting to require “transgender-compliant” restrooms, showers and locker rooms in all public places across America.
And the massive backlash is spreading fast. So far 12 states have condemned Obama’s outrageous decree.
Most of the controversy began in North Carolina, where the state’s new HB2 law – requiring people to use restrooms consistent with their biological sex – was challenged by the Justice Department, who threatened the state to back down…or else. North Carolina was not intimidated, and immediately filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department for executive overreach.
In the same week, Obama issued a so-called “guidance letter,” to all public schools that they must allow transgender students and staff to use whichever restroom they please. But it was quickly apparent this was no “guidance,” but a threat to knuckle under to King Obama’s edict — or face their Federal funds being slashed, despite having no Congressional authority to do so.
Now other states have jumped on board, defending North Carolina and the state’s rights to set these guidelines themselves without federal interference. At the very least, they want Congress to establish guidelines, as the Founders intended, instead of a despotic executive bent on “fundamentally transforming” us.
At the state GOP convention in Greensboro, Sen. Ralph Hise had a message for Obama and AG Loretta Lynch: “You picked the wrong state to start this fight with.”
Texas was one of the first states to stand with North Carolina. Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted his support:
I announced today that Texas is fighting this. Obama can't rewrite the Civil Rights Act. He's not a King. #tcot https://t.co/vDgfQPZXjR

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick agreed:

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson told his schools to completely disregard Obama’s rules:
As Gov., I recommend that school districts disregard @POTUS's “guidance” on gender identification in schools. >> https://t.co/mFxgtOcbml

Alabama followed suit, saying Obama’s order was “absurd.”

Kentucky stood with the side of States’ Rights as well.

So far, in addition to North Carolina and Texas, six additional states on Friday signed on to a case asking an appeals court to reject a ruling in favor of a Virginia transgender girl seeking to use a boys bathroom. Those states are West Virginia, Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, and Maine, bringing the total number of states fighting Obama to twelve in just the past 24 hours.
Obama’s finding out he ain’t boss. He just took a swift kick in the nads.
Feeling that overreach now, bitch?
Sorry Millard, but Obama doesn’t have any nads. Not only is he a commie dog, but squats to pee.
LOL 😆
My state (WA) is a disgusting embarrassment.
All states are embarrassing. They cower to unconstitutional Federal Bullsquat that has no teeth (or law) to back it up.
Just cause Obummer says so don’t make it so!
We’ll see how these 12 states fair in Obummer’s Federal courts, my guess is they’re screwed. House rules, don’t cha know!
Supposedly Millard the Republicans in Texas will have a Convention where they might put secession on the table for public vote…it could be if Obama really does threaten Texas (which BTW has a top 15 world economy and pays more to the Feds than it gets back in Federal funding–and many school districts get NO federal funding (such as our local district)), that the notion of secession get more of a facelift than I expect it to otherwise. Or it could be Gov. Abbott, who needs a wheelchair and is considered disabled, can pull an end around on a politically correct asshole like Obama.
What could Obama do if Texas secession is successful? It could be civil war. You think the Feds would just lay down? It’s going to be interesting to watch. No outcome is predictable.
Glad to see its not a total laydown
Sure hope more are to follow
The amount of liability that will come with the actions of Oloser is nuts
Ladies , get your carry permits , and learn to kick hard . The war on you is being waged by our very own Gay and Tranny in the White House

I still think this entire issue is a distraction from the economic collapse, and our belligerent efforts to get WW3 started. The dissenting states only increase the distraction value, and they’re all part of the show.
I guess people got tired of “gay marriage” being the news porn, so they’re shifting to the “pervert in the bathroom” issue.
I wouldn’t doubt if your assessment is right in the mark
And in the mean time this jackhole in chief is trying to turn this country upside down so it will be a battle on all fronts
I still stand by my stance for the women out there regardless
Exactly what I’ve been saying, I totally agree!
Those states will eventually cave to obamas demands, just like they did with Obama care.
The idiot Governor of our state also called for co-ed showers in jr. Hi talking about insane leadership . Plus the totally ordering parents to vaccinate their babies against their will is a bridge to far. This former Jesuit wanted be priest is hell bent on destroying this state and any form of freedom we ever thought we had. He should have been removed from the office years ago.
“Oh, I think I feel like a girl today, hi there ladies restroom! Where are the urinals?” “Dammit, I should have worn my dress!”
Tomorrow I gotta wear jeans while my dress is pressed. I’ll be a boy tomorrow!
This policy is insane, even an insane person would think it’s insane! Just ask me, I think I dove off the “deep end” a while back! 😆
Given the other issues in the domestic and international news, this one is almost meaningless to the smart folk among us.
The real one here is Bernie Sanders and all U.S. citizens being disregarded and Killary taking the U.S. into a Neocon-driven CIVIL and WORLD war.
Anything to distract from the important issues. “Look at my sparkling beads”, as he heist’s your wallet!
Yep, the neocons are drooling at the thought of more war for profit.
Quite frankly, we need a Civil war. Neocons top the list of objectives. There’s a lot of daisies that need “pushing up”. That way, we’ll have plenty of flowers to lay on the graves of fallen patriots. Traitors and politicians, to hell with ’em, as Clint said in the famous line from “The Outlaw Josey Wales” “The critters gotta eat too!”
“The real one here is Bernie Sanders and all U.S. citizens being disregarded…”
Seriously, dude???
Bernie is a communist, and ‘citizens’ are nothing more than (so-called) ‘government’ SLAVES. We subscribe to neither here.
You took a wrong turn back there somewhere
