The groups, which are seeking funding for projects that support art about or are made by transgender and non-binary people, say they have in effect been unconstitutionally blocked from receiving grants from the agency that was built to promote artistic excellence, despite having received funds for similar projects in the past. “Because they seek to affirm transgender and non-binary identities and experiences in the projects for which they seek funding, plaintiffs are effectively barred by the ‘gender ideology’ certification and prohibition from receiving NEA grants on artistic merit and excellence grounds,” says the lawsuit, filed on Thursday.
These groups, which are primarily funded with Federal grants, are using our money to sue us. They'll always 'judge-shop' the suits to jurisdictions with liberal judges, and the lawyers take the cases to fulfill their Andy Warhol spotlight dreams. They all get overturned eventually, and the only one that really loses is us. Go figure...
There should be a law banning Judge shopping or some kind of recourse other than going up the chain of liberal judges. Who removes crooked biased judges? SCOTUS? Voting when there is no opponent doesn't work and rarely does a judge get voted out anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the Constitution does it say we have to fund the arts? Tell me that judge.
ReplyDeleteIf their art is so great, I'm sure they don't need federal tax dollars.
