The attorneys general of 24 Republican states have called on the United States Supreme Court to protect women’s and girls’ sports from radical leftist ideology.
The state AGs are asking the high court to stop allowing males in female sports.
The move is just the latest shot in a culture war that appears to be finally breaking in the favor of conservatives.
The petition asks the Supreme Court to allow Arizona to enforce a law protecting women’s sports.
The law was previously frozen by a lower court.
The 9th Circuit Appeals court said the law may violate the Equal Protection Clause.
The Equal Protection Clause was ratified in the 1860s – a century and a half before the definition of a woman was ever a point of political contention.
A group of 24 Republican states, led by South Carolina, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 9th Circuit’s absurd ruling.
“Arizona’s law restricting girls’ sports teams to biological females is just common sense, and it protects girls from competing against bigger, stronger males who identify as females,” they wrote.
“In sports, equal access means a level playing field,” the attorneys general added in their brief.
“And a level playing field usually means sports teams divided by sex so that girls can compete against other girls.”
The other states backing the petition are:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Florida
- Georgia
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nebraska
- New Hampshire
- North Dakota
- Oklahoma
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Utah
- Virginia
- Wyoming
It is just common sense that males have an unfair biological advantage against female athletes.
However, leftists have dismissed this simple reality – even after the Democrats’ shellacking in this year’s election made it clear Americans are ready to move on from woke craziness.
Public opinion on this subject is now clear.
Nevertheless, the Supreme Court shouldn’t keep males out of women’s sports just because it’s popular.
There is a clear legal issue for them to address and the safety of women and girls must be the priority.
The Republican AGs are asking the court to “make it clear that the Constitution does not prohibit states from saving women’s sports from unfair competition and providing meaningful athletic opportunities for girls and women.”
Indeed, the 14th Amendment was obviously not meant to allow men to dominate women in athletic competitions.
The mere suggestion that the Amendment’s framers countenanced these scenarios, such as men getting in a boxing ring with women, is completely deranged.
The Supreme Court has an opportunity to make it clear that novel attempts to stretch the 14th Amendment’s meaning and purpose have a logical limit.
Enough of this insanity.
