BREAKING: Six justices of Supreme Court attack our republican form of government –rewrite federal civil rights law, in exercise of raw judicial power, to change definition of "sex" to "sexual orientation" and "gender identity." Legislating from the bench is an abuse of power.
A Supreme Court majority essentially ruled today that Congress is a joke. The majority is right, not because they were right to hijack Congress's power to legislate under the Constitution, but because Congress will do nothing about this abusive power grab.
As Justice Alito warns, today's decision, unless fixed by Congress, could destroy women's sports, weaken religious freedom and free speech, weaken personal privacy, etc.
The Supreme Court UNDERMINED the Civil Rights Act of 1964 today as its autocratic rewrite will now have to litigated and curbed because of its absurd implications. This could have the unintended consequence of WEAKENING the law's bar on traditional race and sex discrimination!

PIRACY: "It sails under a textualist flag, but what it actually represents is a theory of statutory interpretation that Justice Scalia excoriated––the theory that courts should 'update' old statutes so that they better reflect the current values of society." – Justice Alito
