Judge Knocks Down Biden's Unconstitutional Effort to Rewrite Title IX's Protections Based on Sex to Protect "Gender Expression"

The Senile Tyrant has spent his entire four year fraudulent term attempting to rewrite law-- which the Constitution demands be written by Congress -- with his new laws.

The "watchdog media" has literally never noticed nor expressed any concern over this practice. Indeed, they've championed Biden's kingly presumptions and criticized judges who have struck down his unconstitutional power grabs.

Think they'll let Trump rewrite the laws at his whim?

The Biden administration's Title IX rules expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students have been struck down nationwide after a federal judge in Kentucky found they overstepped the president's authority.

In a decision issued Thursday, U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves scrapped the entire 1,500-page regulation after deciding it was "fatally" tainted by legal shortcomings. The rule had already been halted in 26 states after a wave of legal challenges by Republican states.

President-elect Donald Trump, whose inauguration is days away, previously promised to end the rules "on day one" and made anti-transgender themes a centerpiece of his campaign.

The decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti called it a rejection of the Biden administration's "relentless push to impose a radical gender ideology."

"Because the Biden rule is vacated altogether, President Trump will be free to take a fresh look at our Title IX regulations when he returns to office," Skrmetti said in a statement.

The Education Department did not immediately comment on the decision.

Good. Now let's severely reform Title IX, too.

National Review explains how brazen this powergrab by the Demented Tyrant Biden was, and how great this victory.

First, what did the Biden Title IX rule do? Among other things, this regulation from the U.S. Department of Education tried to change the meaning of sex in Title IX -- the federal statute that bans discrimination "on the basis of sex" in schools receiving public funds -- to include gender identity.

The rule would have required almost every K--12 school and university in America to allow males into women's locker rooms, restrooms, showers, and overnight accommodations during field trips. It also put a speech code on students and teachers who did not want to speak in favor of gender ideology -- subjecting them to discipline for "sex-based harassment."

The rule arguably affected sports, too, because you can't redefine sex in the law protecting women's sports without affecting those sports. After all, the Biden administration had already told courts that incorporating gender identity into Title IX would require schools to let men compete in women's sports.

So, without any congressional approval, the Biden administration took a law passed in 1972 meant to protect women and girls and re-deployed it to harm them. The federal judge in Kentucky was having none of it.

As the court wrote, "[W]hen Title IX is viewed in its entirety, it is abundantly clear that discrimination on the basis of sex means discrimination on the basis of being a male or female. As this Court and others have explained, expanding the meaning of 'on the basis of sex' to include 'gender identity' turns Title IX on its head."

"Title IX," the court continued, allows "males and females to be separated based on the enduring physical differences between the sexes."
