“Represents the end of the conservative legal project as we know it,” says Senator.

Dear AFTAH Readers:

Well, it looks like American social conservatives have a new leader in that moral and dysfunctional cesspool we call “Washington, D.C.” His name is Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri). On Monday (June 15, 2020), the U.S. Supreme Court blind-sided the Right by delivering an abominable miscarriage of jurisprudence, Bostock v. Clayton County, GA–its 6-3 majority achieved by the treacherous votes of two now-EX-“originalists,” Justice Neil Gorsuch and Chief Justice John Roberts. Both were appointed by Republican Presidents (Gorsuch by President Trump and Roberts by George W. Bush) and were heralded by conservatives during their judicial confirmation hearings as future judges who would “interpret the law, not make laws.”

So much for that. It turns out that judges, like so many politicians, lie, dissemble, or at least “grow” (“progressively” speaking) after winning their lifetime seat on the august court. Bostock hands the LGBTQueer lobby a huge “legislative” victory, to quote Sen. Hawley. Unless checked by real legislators and We the People, it will certainly lead to a cascade of social-engineering tyranny in the name of “gay” and “trans” “equality” [see Justice Alito’s devastating dissent, beginning p. 44].

We expected to be sold out by Mr. “Balls and Strikes” himself, Roberts, after his inexplicable 2012 SCOTUS vote upholding ObamaCare as a “tax.” But Gorsuch’s descent into contorted, liberal legal “reasoning” (bereft of actual reason and common sense) stunned everyone. For goodness’ sake, no lawmaker had even heard of “transgender” in 1964. But the dominant media, now the most powerful branch of the LGBTQ movement, loves Bostock, and even more so because it signals conservative legal acquiescence to the Gay/Trans Revolution.

Above is Sen. Hawley’s outstanding response on the Senate floor (June 17) to this pseudo-textualist apostasy. I wonder: why isn’t our President speaking like this, and why did so many “conservative” Republicans on Capitol Hill run for cover rather than defend core principles like Hawley? — Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera
