In legislating gay and transgender 'rights,' Supreme Court does grave injustice

The Supreme Court’s Monday decision in a job discrimination case is one of the worst pieces of robed sophistry since Chief Justice John Roberts invented a new meaning of the word “tax” to save Obamacare. As legal reasoning goes, it is garbage.

In a 6-3 decision penned by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the court ruled in Bostock v. Clayton County that when Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned employment discrimination based on “sex,” it also forbade discrimination based on sexual preference or sexual identity. This decision flies in the face of 56 years of copious evidence that Title VII did no such thing.
