A federal judge in Texas on Saturday issued a court order barring enforcement of an Obama administration policy seeking to extend anti-discrimination protections under the Affordable Care Act to transgender health and abortion-related services.
The decision sides with Texas, seven other states and three Christian-affiliated healthcare groups challenging a rule that, according to the judge, defines sex bias to include “discrimination on the basis of gender identity and termination of pregnancy.”
In granting an injunction one day before the new policy was to take effect, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor held that it violates the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law governing rule-making practices.
The same judge issued a similar court order in August blocking a separate Obama administration policy that would have required public schools, over the objections of 13 states, to allow transgender students to use restrooms of their choice.
It was not immediately clear whether the Obama administration, which has just 20 days left in office, would seek to appeal the latest injunction.
You cannot make up things that the law does not authorize (although that is a favorite trick of Obama and his cronies). Wait, wait, no-longer-a-Saint-Christopher, does this also sound like what often happens in Rome? Saying that the Faith can accommodate adultery when, boo-hoo, people violate their marital vows, have immoral sex, have children, then point to their own voluntary acts as justification for staying in their sins, all-the-while demanding the right to the sacraments?? Huh?? Who said that??
A Pope, like a president, is bound by what the absolutes of the law. When God gives the law, through Christ’s direct rejection of remarriage by divorce, then that, is that. We must all find a way to live with this, out of love for…
(Part Deux) ” . . . Christ. Being stubborn, even if our sins feel wonderful, is no justification for their continuation, except for Francis, and the Germans (OK, and a few Americans, like Abp. Cupich and B. McElroy, etc.).
We need to stand up to any and every one that says “forget Christ.” Remember that we are to ignore even the angels, if they speak wrongly in relation to scripture.
What is this country coming to – when a perfectly normal Male (XY) can’t even get a free abortion to end His Pregnancy?
How Barbaric – to force Men to gestate children when they don’t even have a womb to do so in, and would need another procedure just to install the plumbing.
Reminds me of a ‘South Park’ episode when ‘tranz-teacher’ Mr. Garrison decided He was pregnant because He Missed his period – and people thought him crazy.
Tranzizim-Obia at work folks – the Scourge of the 21st Century… Where Pander or Perish is the ‘gospel’ of the Gaystapo – and True Believers are its Storm Troopers for the new age.
“the Obama administration, which has just 20 days left in office”
Talk about getting a warm fuzzy feeling for free – that title snippet was worth a pair of fluffy carpet slippers.
It Is Ending – the Long Nightmare will soon be over.
No guarantees for a future – save the absence of Barry ‘on the down low’ Soetoro in the Oval Office.
Rumors that he is to be installed as grand exalted pooh bah of the United Nations should be directed to his handlers – good pal & Weather Underground Murder Bomber Bill Ayers and of course George Soros.
Finally a courageous Federal Judge standing up against Satan, Obama, Clintons, and their Commucrat Party. May God bless this Judge and St Michael watch over and protect him.
Obama is very proud he got liberals the right to homosexual marriage and adoption and to watch your young girls pee. The Obamunist triumph was so complete that even baking cakes for Gays is now an American duty. I hope Commies really enjoy their perversions, for these dark excesses lost them the Executive, the Senate, the House, 33 State governorships and 1000 state elected seats. It was a bad idea for the Clintons to run on the Barack Hussein Obama record because he is reviled by the majority of the Working Classes that resent paying for te Democrat parasites. The Welfare Classes did not show up in 2016, or maybe their individual ballots were not passed sufficient times each through the voting machines resulting in their idiotic but…
Lets hope and pray Obama’s Commucrat awful chaotic legacy is buried and not left to smolder and reignite, but the awful truth of it be accurately and correctly written/portrayed in the archives of US History so that Americans will learn our lessons and Commucrats like Obama, the Clintons, and their fellow cronies will never rise to any level of power but will be sentenced to the titles they deserve as criminals and live their lives in prison, but not as nice as the prestigious prison Michele Obama referred to as what it was like living in the White House. Before Trump moves in, the new First Lady ought to have it Excorsied!.
I wish Obama Sin-Laden, the Clinton Gang, Soros the Warlock, and the other leading Commucrats like Pelosi, Reed, Boxer, Schumer, would all be investigated for their wrong doings. Politicians need to receive a fair trial and be held accountable for all their evil intentions, and corrupt actions. They are not above the law and should not be allowed to be above the law even if it “embarrasses” the office to which they filled. True purification is a draining of the swamp and cleaning house that will only come through justice in action. Doing so will actually restore “we the peoples” confidence in our government leaders and bring back international respect for our nation and our leaders. Personally I feel Obama and the Clintons should…
. . . be tried for subversion considering all the criminal-like actions they have committed: hope and change to change our nation from a republic and democracy defined by our US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Laws to a communist government. Obama the dictator and thug master through his unrelentless use of executive orders and strong-arming has crippled our nations economy and financial stability heaped in $20T of debt. He has closed and driven away jobs with his desire to impose the hoax of Global Warming and send 90 million Americans into unemployment causing us to be dependent upon the government in angst of getting Commucrat Party leadership.
. . . be tried for attempting to throw God out of our country and his promotion of Alah and Mohammed which are merely pagans. For opening our borders to unvetted terrorists disguised as refugees where they await to terrorize us within our own borders to convert to islam or die. Our national security and individual security is now at stake thanks to his shoving terrorist refugees within our borders and backyards. He has turned natural laws, decent practices, and dignity of manhood and womanhood upside down and encouraged through his erred and disgusting political non-correctiveness endangering the innocence and privacy of our lives. We could go on and on and on
Apparently “Bruce” doesn’t realize that a person can’t be tried for “evil intentions” or for “criminial-like” actions. Nor does he realize that Obama made fewer executive actions than his predecessors including Bush. Nor does he realize that the deficit was inherited from Bush or that Obama reduced that debt every year he was in office. Nor does he realize that from Bush he inherited a collapsing economy, or that Obama created jobs every single year he was in office. Bruce continues to push the idea that climate change is a “hoax”, an absurd accusation that has no evidence to support it. He seems to be clueless to the fact that the problems with refugees started when Bush invaded Iraq, leading to the formation of ISIS.
They can be tried for gross negligence with regard to classified information, the same that is classified for the protection of America and her people. HRC, for all her experience, knows what classified requires. If not, or if she forgot, she’s got serious personal problems. As for Obama, his weakness in the ME and lack of follow through led to the loss of gains and, while not the formation of ISIS, the cultivation of ISIS.
The “problem” with refugees may have begun when Bush invaded Iraq, but strong leadership is what puts a cap on problems. Decisive action and strength can put an end to conflicts, alleviating the source of the problem while tepid leadership gives rise to even more problems and more refugees.
Red lines that mean…
…nothing, pulling out troops precipitously just because one wants to “look” like the prince of peace is no answer. And those jobs he’s created, look at how much they pay. Sorry, YFC, but Bruce is on target.
And I’m not even getting into “climate change”.
God bless and protect U.S. Judge Reed O’Connor for the good he did.
YFC, There you go again, deceiving the readers with your lies and twisting the truth. Not only are you out of touch with the truth, you and liberals like you try to write history opposite to the truth. I do realize the truth and have enough intelligence to connect the many truths that paint the real picture of what is going on, you on the other hand cover-up the truth to deceive others. There is not enough writing space here to counter YFC’s lies, so I ask those who are naïve enough to follow his lies to investigate the truth for yourselves. All of YFC’s misinformation can easily be proven to be lies with a little expenditure of your time from reliable sources.
Just another of Obama’s dictatorial legacies (Source MRC News): While it’s certainly nothing new, Obama’s habit of unilaterally confiscating land has ramped up heading into the final stretch of his presidency. In the eight years he’s been in office, President Obama has seized more than 553 million acres of land and water (roughly 865,000 square miles) and placed it under federal ownership and control – enough square mileage to cover the entire state of Texas more than three times over. In fact, the self-aggrandizing conservationist-in-chief has placed more land and coastal areas under federal control than any other president in history, shutting off millions of miles of land to energy production or human settlement, along with shifting…
