When words lose their meaning, the people lose their freedom — Confucius
The Court’s Madness
The most disastrous soul-destroying decadence-guaranteeing family-wrecking society-ravaging legislation ever passed was the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Its tenets were, are, and will continue to be in direct contradiction to the Constitution. As has been pointed out by Christopher Caldwell among others, this Act has become our new and reigning Constitution.
Title VII of this abomination (and I’m quoting from SCOTUS’s new ruling, ellipses original) makes it “unlawful…for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual…because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” After 1964, you could not hire or fire or disassociate from whom you would, Freedom of Association be damned.
Sex meant what it always meant: male or female and their mating. Gorsuch and Roberts and the Court’s diversity hires instead subscribed to gender theory, and the word has lost its meaning. G-Sex now means “sexual orientation” and fantasy, as in you are or become any G-sex you imagine yourself to be. The “G-” prefix indicates not sex, which is immutable, but government-defined gender fantasy. Just as G-marriage does not mean marriage, which can only be between the sexes, it is government-defined unions incorrectly called marriage.
Heed Confucius! Never use the enemy’s language. If you do, you are lost.
Gorsuch et al. said “The straightforward application of Title VII’s terms interpreted in accord with their ordinary public meaning at the time of their enactment resolves” the cases brought before the Court. At the time of their enactment public homosexual displays were proscribed, and people still thought a man fantasizing he was “really” a woman was delusional.
Here’s the ballet move the Court uses to step around the commonsense meaning of words. “The parties concede that the term ‘sex’ in 1964 referred to the biological distinctions between male and female” but then it depends on what the definition of is is. I jest, but only slightly. “[T]he ordinary meaning of ‘because of’,” the Court intoned, “is ‘by reason of’ or ‘on account of'”. That was followed by several academic-style references, which intimidate the weak. They continued, “That term incorporates the but-for causation standard…”
The Court began by admitting sex, tossed in a dozen Clintonisms (“Just as sex is necessarily a but-for cause…” , and after a blizzard of postmodern paragraphs, G-sex emerged. A Jesuit could not have done better.
The Court’s dissembling and equivocal path to insanity is not important, however, because the result was foreordained. If you think you can find wiggle room in their argument and so submit new legislation to effect an end-around, they will simply toss another stinking pot of word trash at you.
What must instead be done is the excision of the entire Act. It must be removed as a malignant cancer is removed: hacked out in haste.
It won’t be.
Our Coming Doom
Globohomo is a neologism for good reason. This new ruling won’t change much behavior at MegaCorp Inc. Big Business has long since surrendered their sanity on these matters; they all employ zampolit, a.k.a. HR, to enforce political correctness.
Nevertheless, the slippery slope is still with us. And if anybody anywhere out there says slippery slopes are fallacious, I will reach out from behind their screens and slap them silly. We have a prime example of one right in front of us!
Here’s another: the Court in its ruling called a man she and her.
Do you feel that? That’s you losing your foothold, dear reader. You, too, will be made to call men women, and women men. The precedent has been set. You must undergo this legal humiliation, you must use the enemy’s language. You too will love Globohomo.
Don’t believe it? There is a case right now, Meriwether v. Francesca Hartop, in front of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, about whether employers (here a university) can force employees (here professors) to call other employees (students) by their preferred pronouns. The outcome cannot now be in question.
Thinking about objecting to a demonic tranny reading to the kiddies at the library, or at your kid’s school? Want to complain that Gary, who sometimes wears a dress, is taking the kids camping? Don’t. The would be discrimination, another good word that has been legally twisted into its opposite meaning.
Don’t want to hire an atheist who is “oriented” to the young as a teacher at your Catholic school? Change that to a BLM terrorist, also, of course, with the same “orientation”. “Suppose an employer’s application form offered a single box to check if the applicant is either black or Catholic. If the employer refuses to hire anyone who checks that box, would we conclude the employer has complied with Title VII, so long as it studiously avoids learning any particular applicant’s race or religion? Of course not”.
Orientation is specious. It means, now, any perversion that occurs in the minds of its holders. There is no biological, scientific, or natural law justification for orientation. Once you let one in, you must hold your nose, and cinch up your butt cheeks, and allow them all. If you accept orientation, you have no basis whatsoever to discriminate against any of them.
Down the slope we go. Every proscription against perversion will fall.
Objections
Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh kept their wits. Alito and Thomas said in their dissent, “There is only one word for what the Court has done today: legislation.” Kavanaugh’s separate dissent expands that argument. The more relevant dissent is from Alito and Thomas, who said, “Neither ‘sexual orientation’ nor ‘gender identity’ appears on [Title VII’s] list”, and they remind the Court that several bills attempting their additions were proposed, and that all were rejected.
The Court farted on this reasoning. Our men said “A more brazen abuse of our authority to interpret statutes is hard to recall.” “The Court’s opinion is like a pirate ship.”
They said the “arrogance” of the Court’s “argument is breathtaking.” That there “is not a shred of evidence” relevant to original legislation. They said “The Court’s argument is not only arrogant, it is wrong. It fails on its own terms. ‘Sex,’ ‘sexual orientation,’ and ‘gender identity’ are different concepts, as the Court concedes.” What the Court concludes is “demonstrably untrue.” “To call this evidence merely feeble would be generous.”
As comforting as these excoriations are, they have just as much legal force as an angry tweet, which is to say, none at all. We have gone from “the plain truth…that in 1964 homosexuality was thought to be a mental disorder, and homosexual conduct was regarded as morally culpable and worthy of punishment…Sodomy was a crime in every State but Illinois,” to the Court declaring fantasy is more real than Reality.
Alito and Thomas feel their purchase on Reality giving way. The know, like Gorsuch and Roberts do not, that men in girls’ bathrooms is now inevitable. “The Court’s brusque refusal to consider the consequences of its reasoning is irresponsible….No one should think that the Court’s decision represents an unalloyed victory for individual liberty.”
Under the Court’s decision, however, transgender persons will be able to argue that they are entitled to use a bathroom or locker room that is reserved for persons of the sex with which they identify, and while the Court does not define what it means by a transgender person, the term may apply to individuals who are “gender fluid,” that is, individuals whose gender identity is mixed or changes over time.
Delusional men competing with women in sports may now be “forced”. Single-sex dorms are out.
Religions different than our State’s religion? Alito dryly writes, “[I]f a religious school teaches that sex outside marriage and sex reassignment procedures are immoral, the message may be lost if the school employs a teacher who is in a same-sex relationship or has undergone or is undergoing sex reassignment.”
Healthcare is another term that now often means the opposite it commonsense definition. We’ll soon have to call it G-healthcare.
We saw above G-pronouns are likely to be forced. Alito agrees. He also says, “The Court’s decision may also pressure employers to suppress any statements by employees expressing disapproval of same-sex relationships and sex reassignment procedures.” Karen in HR is already enforcing this.
The End
Scholars don’t record whether Sodom and Gomorrah had a Supreme Court, but I am willing to believe Ruth Bader Ginsburg secreted herself in Lot’s luggage and, surviving on the untainted blood of virgins and children, inflicts her dark aura on the Court to this day. I am also willing to believe conspiracy “theories” about Gorsuch and Roberts. Either they’re much dumber than we were led to believe, or they have something on those guys.
The reasoning Gorsuch employs is so bad it wouldn’t convince a Gender Theory graduate. He had to have known, and Roberts had to have known, that what Gorsuch wrote was calculated gibberish. (Rod Dreher thinks Roberts’s defection may have been strategic.) His argument didn’t even reach Justice Kennedy girlish feelings “reasoning”. This was a dictated solution in search of any justification, no matter how weak or transparently illogical. The diversity hires are just happy to be there and will sign what’s put before them.
I don’t know. Conspiracies take intelligence, and there is a distinct paucity of it flowing from government these days. Stupidity and perversion are better explanations. But I must admit I find it more comforting to believe we’re being led by evil geniuses than by cowards, the complicit, and nitwits who glean their deepest ideas from television.
There is no cheering news, or room for hope, in this latest discovery of hidden “rights”. Not one good thing will flow from it, and much bad. The only possible way to eliminate its results or reduce its effects is by legislation, and there are no more than a handful of men left in Congress.

Dear Professor Briggs,
You’ll soon have a lot more men in government come the election. The women are going to disappear leaving a fewer.
This article rings two authors to mind,
JK Rowling is now persona non grata.
They’ll be burning Harry Potter books. The actor has “spoken out” re transphobia.
Johnathan Sumption.
Trials Of The State.
(Law and the death of politics.)
When I acquire audio that’s on the list. I think some who are interested in what looks like the dullest subject of constitutional law in general might like this as he seems easy to understand.
On “taking governments to court” to overturn political decisions, the American system is discussed.
I have a feeling these decisions by the SCOTUS majority were largely written by their clerks. Most are fresh out of law school, fully indoctrinated in Globohomoism, and full of the nonsensical catechisms of the Age of Wokeness.
A HUGE error by the framers of the United States–a nonpolitical court with judges for life. Sure, they could never have foreseen the evil and souls given to Satan in massive numbers, but I can’t believe they didn’t at least have an inkling. “Justice for Life” was a communist addition under the pretense of “nonpolitical”. The framers were not that naive. Someone allowed the evil in, even then. Perhaps that’s why Jefferson said a democracy was wonderful IF you can hold on to it. I suspect he knew the flaw they built in.
No one has anything on Gorsuch and Roberts. IT’S WHO THEY ARE AND ALWAYS WERE. You do know people lie and they go to the dark side all by themselves. Stop excusing selling out to or supporting evil as someone having something on said persons. These Justices lied and were ALWAYS on the other side. Especially Roberts. How can you not see that???? How could you have not seen it from the beginning????
Joy: Couldn’t happen to a nicer person than J K Rowling. While I admire her for standing up now, she completely sold out and was a true communist for many years. She fed the alligator that is now devouring her. People simply to do not learn…..As for burning the books, other than the books got kid to read, it’s no real loss. I’m sure we can find someone who can get kids to read without the communist and immoral content. If not, it’s best to leave them illiterate.
You will be made to believe. Bow down and worship Moloch and Eris, or be thrown into the fiery furnace.
Briggs writes,
”The most disastrous soul-destroying decadence-guaranteeing family-wrecking society-ravaging legislation ever passed was the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
Just so, Sarge. And the damn fool liberal idiots — our people! — thought they had magically created utopia at the stroke of a pen, and they felt so good about themselves, thinking the legislation was about being nice to negroes and women. But that’s not what it was about. It was about the federal government usurping more dictatorial power over the people. The blacks and women were simply used as grievance pawns to fool people as to the real intention. Just as the riots are not about Floyd. He’s a pretext to dupe fools into rioting, the purpose of which is to demoralize the enemy (America) depose Trump, and usurp more dictatorial power. It’s not about what it’s about, it’s about power. And not the power to do good — that’s for the fools — the power is for the pure pleasure of wielding absolute power on earth; to crush one’s enemies, spread terror and dread, drink the people’s blood, and mock God.
Most normal people cannot conceive such an organized and persistent sociopathy and so they do not see it and cannot credit those who do see it, and warn them about it. I pray more and more Americans are unwoken by all these grotesque leftist festivities. But don’t count on it. The brainwashing was deep and thorough for too many.
President Trump should declare the SCOTUS ruling Unconstitutional and explain the obvious reasons why.
Most men will say he does not have the authority to do so but he does. All he has to do is assert it and let the fun begin.
When the progressives (and by progressives, ABS means conservatives) begin to mewl and moan, remind them that the Constitution was written for we the people and that means it is the people who decide what is and isn’t Constitutional.
But that would mean chaos…
Not so fast my pretend interlocutor…It is ONLY if Trump does declare that bull shite Unconstitutional that we the people can decide what our Constitution means.
But, how…
During the political campaigns, contenders for the various offices, especially the POTUS and Legislative Branch, would be forced to advance arguments as to why he is opposed to or in support of the decisions taken by The SCOTUS or The Legislative Branch and the SCOTUS would be forced to shut the hell up and stay out of the electoral process.
Remember that each Branch – Executive, Legislative, Judicial – is putatively separate and EQUAL.
Sure, the SCOTUS declared its own self the boss of you but Trump could tell the SCOTUS to stick it where the sun doth not shine and deliver a cataclysmic blow in favor of LIBERTY.
Of course, he won’t and he prolly doesn’t even know a lawyer who believes the truth about what ABS has just posted.
Separate but EQUAL Branches of Government.
Pray.
Thank you Mr. Briggs for writing this.
You have covered it all. All that I saw when I read this news.
About 17-18 years ago now I came to the conclusion, through the application of reason, that all of this was coming — the sodomites, the left, the Muslims. And that the target was the Church. I was a fallen away cradle Catholic. Once I finished researching the mountain of information I came to the only conclusion possible. The Church was right. The rest were wrong and simply the useful idiots of satan and his war. And that there was no choice but to return, to choose GOD. But that it would be to embrace the VERY bad end that was the ONLY place this could go.
I have spent all the time since preparing and doing what I could to try to help others return to God.
And even with that, yesterday was one of the hardest days ever. I feel like the mountain has moved right on top of me. All the pieces have been falling into place this year, each with a dreadful thud. But yesterday eclipsed everything previous to it. And I’ve been looking to see if anyone saw what I see.
And then I read this. Misery does indeed gather some comfort from company. May God bless you Mr. Briggs.
And yes, pray.
We are so very close to the end of the road now.
Pingback: Supreme Court Rules Civil Rights Act Applies To Gender Theory, Sexual “Orientation” | Reaction Times
I think the public school systems of recent times are to blame for much of the misinterpreting of words. Maybe not the teachers themselves, but the way that students don’t need to understand anything anymore. They just need to pass. Lately it’s been OK for anyone to not learn anything as long as they make the school system look good. And if it’s OK to not understand things, then it’s OK to make up anything you want and have it be true, too.
There are no standards. No boundaries. It’s starting to permeate.
It is not just starting to permeate.
There are a good few factors feeding into the cesspool that is the public school system (and the higher education system). Which has been a primary front in this long war.
But you will find a major piece of the puzzle by researching The Frankfurt School.
>Under the Court’s decision, however, transgender persons will be able to argue that they are entitled to use a bathroom or locker room that is reserved for persons of the sex with which they identify, and while the Court does not define what it means by a transgender person, the term may apply to individuals who are “gender fluid,” that is, individuals whose gender identity is mixed or changes over time.
Since common-sense no longer applies, something tells me these trannies are going to start disappearing, and communities aren’t going to worry so much about certain disappearances.
“Sure, the SCOTUS declared its own self the boss of you but Trump could tell the SCOTUS to stick it where the sun doth not shine and deliver a cataclysmic blow in favour of LIBERTY.”
He could, with any luck.
Sheri,
JKR did a good thing. More will follow, just one more aspect of time spent during lockdown retreat.
The tragedy of recent times has been a reset. Maybe sorting wheat from chaff.
Change will come from those who have more influence on voters who need guidance. If it doesn’t come this time around, it’s still coming, just a matter of time.
Some people have lost sight of the power of simple truth in nature just as some don’t know the truth in nature.

I notice that when trannies go towards the feminine and claim to be women, they become outwardly ugly monstrosities and caricatures of women. And utterly barren. Useless vessels. When feminists screech about ending toxic masculinity, they always look outwardly like weak pathetic manblobs, all while harping on about the innate and immutable qualities of men. These same shape shifters spent the last half century vilifying the natural female, her beauty and child bearing power, in exchange for what?

Inky feathers can depict flights of fantasy but it still won’t make them true.
You need real wings to keep up.
In 200 years, society will be vacated from all tradition and God.
As Jesus said that when He returns He will not find anyone with Faith in Him or in any resemblance of His Glory in the works of mankind.
As in the past, regardless,, if Jesus returned today a good portion of the modern world will reject Him..
Telling Him to go back to where he came from and send someone who is more tuned in to the modern world.

Another reason my Hungarian wife and I are planning to move to Hungary – where Christianity and Marriage are in the Constitution. We’ll watch the slow decay from a distance.
“As Jesus said that when He returns He will not find anyone with Faith in Him or in any resemblance of His Glory in the works of mankind”
Did he? well if He’s who you think he is, he said that, what are you worried about?
I don’t recall anything said like that …which bible translation?
Matthew 24?
It doesn’t appear in King James.
Jesus said: “…will He find faith on the earth…” See just below.
“Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart, saying, “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God, and did not respect man. “And there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me legal protection from my opponent.’ “And for a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, lest by continually coming she wear me out.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; now shall not God bring about justice for His elect, who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18: 1-8.
Use names only, not pronouns, and pray for the Supreme Court of the United States to reconsider their decision. Also, pray for President Trump to receive counsel about all of this. Kellyanne Conway named the SCOTUS decision legislation, which it is.
God bless, C-Marie
Another giant screwup by Trump. He has been good for nothing for the right and helped mobilize the most insane sections of the left.
Let us not forget that the most disastrous soul-destroying decadence-guaranteeing family-wrecking society-ravaging SCOTUS decision was Roe v. Wade (1973). In the 47 years since an estimated 61.6 million babies have been aborted in the USA.
Sixty-one million. That’s more souls destroyed than Hitler and Stalin combined — innocent souls endowed by their Creator with the right to life prematurely ripped away by the Supreme Courts then, after, and now.
The latest Satanic SCOTUS decision is truly awful but pales in comparison.
Family-wrecking is hardly an apt descriptor for Roe v. Wade. Was the Holocaust family-wrecking? Well yes, but somewhat more horrendous than that.
Is this latest decision society-ravaging? Well yes, but one might also argue that our society has already lost its collective soul, its right to persist, its pretense of innocence in the eyes of the Almighty in His Final Judgement. What greater sin can there be? What penance can be paid? How can we ever be forgiven?
In Dante’s Inferno the lustful are condemned to the Second Circle of Hell. The corrupt judges are found in the Eighth Circle, one shy of the deepest pit reserved for Judas, Cain, and the other most famous sinners in history.
@Joy: “It doesn’t appear in King James.”
That one started my morning off with a chuckle.
Uncle Mike, you said: “That’s more souls destroyed than Hitler and Stalin combined” Should read: That’s more souls destroyed than Churchill (Allied forces) and Stalin combined. I am always saddened though when Germany is dragged into the satanic Marxist/communist/Bolshevik cocktail.
The same Marxist mainstream media today was active spreading the same lies, propaganda & ultimate anarchy in the previous century.
https://books.google.com.au/books/about/The_Myth_of_German_Villainy.html?id=Lz8vNz4gfPwC&redir_esc=y
As the title “The Myth of German Villainy” indicates, this book is about the mischaracterization of Germany as history’s ultimate “villain.” The “official” story of Western Civilization in the twentieth century casts Germany as the disturber of the peace in Europe, and the cause of both World War I and World War II, though the facts don’t bear that out. During both wars, fantastic atrocity stories were invented by Allied propaganda to create hatred of the German people for the purpose of bringing public opinion around to support the wars. The “Holocaust” propaganda which emerged after World War II further solidified this image of Germany as history’s ultimate villain. But how true is this “official” story? Was Germany really history’s ultimate villain? In this book, the author paints a different picture. He explains that Germany was not the perpetrator of World War I nor World War II, but instead, was the victim of Allied aggression in both wars. The instability wrought by World War I made the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia possible, which brought world Communism into existence. Hitler and Germany recognized world Communism, with its base in the Soviet Union, as an existential threat to Western, Christian Civilization, and he dedicated himself and Germany to a death struggle against it. Far from being the disturber of European peace, Germany served as a bulwark which prevented Communist revolution from sweeping over Europe. The pity was that the United States and Britain did not see Communist Russia in the same light, ultimately with disastrous consequences for Western Civilization. The author believes that Britain and the United States joined the wrong side in the war.
