Attorney: 'Rule of law' at risk with homosexual agenda

gavel smallA federal court has ruled against the Library of Congress for refusing to hire a transgendered person.

 

The American Civil Liberties Union says the ruling sends a message to employers everywhere that if they fire or refuse to hire someone for transitioning to another gender, they can be held liable. Mat Staver, dean of Liberty University's law school and founder of Liberty Counsel, believes the decision is outrageous.
 
"This is why there needs to be sanity within our legal system with regards to this homosexual agenda, which will literally undermine the whole concept of law and the rule of law," Staver contends. "And it also underscores why we need judges on the bench who will judge and not legislate their own ideology."
 
The Liberty Counsel founder believes it is essential to appeal the case. "The question, however, that we have to ask is what will the Supreme Court of the United States do with this?" Staver wonders. "It's probably going to be a very tightly divided court on this issue because we have some justices on the Supreme Court who [couldn't] care less about the Constitution, federal or state law, or the rule of law in general."
 
Staver hopes voters will keep in mind when they go into the voting booths in November that the next president will likely appoint several new justices.
