bigleaguepolitics--2020-05-12--Experts Criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu After Suggesting that Children Get Chipp

According to a report from the Jerusalem Post , Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was criticized by cyber experts for his proposal to “ microchip ” children who are going back to schools and kindergartens as the Wuhan virus lockdown is relaxed .
During a press conference on May 4 , Netanyahu suggested that the Health Ministry use novel technology to help Israel transition towards a post-Wuhan virus order .
“ That is , technology that has not been used before and is allowed under the legislation we shall enact , ” Netanyahu made clear .
“ I spoke with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find measures Israel is good at , such as sensors .
For instance , every person , every kid – I want it on kids first – would have a sensor that would sound an alarm when you get too close , like the ones on cars , ” the prime minister commented .
“ It will be hard to do it to more than a million schoolchildren who return to their educational institutions in order to ensure one student sits at the distance of two meters from another .
It is fictional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Meron said to Israeli news outlet Ynet .
“ Theoretically , I get the idea behind it , ” she remarked .
“ But although such distance-sensitive microchips exist in vehicles , it is different in humans.
” In Meron ’ s view , “ a beeping sound telling me I got close to someone is not enough .
Who says it will change anything ?
I would have gotten closer either way.
” The expert also pointed out that “ the actual issue is the enforcement , and here everything changes.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will not pass any test – both practically and legally.
” In addition to Meron ’ s assertion that informing citizens on their distance will not have an impact of their actions , many Israelis believe that the state would take advantage of the information available from the sensors and possibly use it in ways that violate privacy rights .
“ If the information with the kids ’ location is uploaded to the internet , a pedophile with some cyber knowledge may invade the system and stalk them outside their schools , follow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ platforms , ” Meron stated .
“ Can the state take responsibility for that ?
” The Prime Minister ’ s Office replied to the report , telling Ynet that Netanyahu ’ s suggestion “ is not to be implemented through databases , but through simple technology notifying [ the citizens ] about their distance .
It is a voluntary option that is designed to help children keep their distance , like Mobileye with vehicles.
” The office also noted that Netanyahu ’ s suggestion is “ an idea that may help maintain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be any violation of privacy.
” The Association for Civil Rights in Israel ( ACRI ) filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act that police make public how extensive the Eagle Eye operations are , in addition to the time the information on Israeli citizens ’ movements that is constantly being gathered in the system .
Israel Police responded to ACRI ’ s concerns , declaring that the system ’ s activity was not subject to internal standards despite being in operation for several years .
“ Either way , once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disclosed to the public , ” police highlighted .
All over the world , the Wuhan virus is bringing up similar dilemmas .
Israel like the U.S. , would be wise to exercise prudence when trying to handle the Wuhan virus .

Experts Criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu After Suggesting that Children Get Chipped
According to a report from the Jerusalem Post, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was criticized by cyber experts for his proposal to “microchip” children who are going back to schools and kindergartens as the Wuhan virus lockdown is relaxed.
During a press conference on May 4, Netanyahu suggested that the Health Ministry use novel technology to help Israel transition towards a post-Wuhan virus order.
“That is, technology that has not been used before and is allowed under the legislation we shall enact,” Netanyahu made clear.
“I spoke with our heads of technology in order to find measures Israel is good at, such as sensors. For instance, every person, every kid – I want it on kids first – would have a sensor that would sound an alarm when you get too close, like the ones on cars,” the prime minister commented.
“It will be hard to do it to more than a million schoolchildren who return to their educational institutions in order to ensure one student sits at the distance of two meters from another. It is fictional and dangerous,” cyber expert Einat Meron said to Israeli news outlet Ynet.
“Theoretically, I get the idea behind it,” she remarked. “But although such distance-sensitive microchips exist in vehicles, it is different in humans.” In Meron’s view, “a beeping sound telling me I got close to someone is not enough. Who says it will change anything? I would have gotten closer either way.”
The expert also pointed out that “the actual issue is the enforcement, and here everything changes.” Meron told Ynet that “microchipping children will not pass any test – both practically and legally.” In addition to Meron’s assertion that informing citizens on their distance will not have an impact of their actions, many Israelis believe that the state would take advantage of the information available from the sensors and possibly use it in ways that violate privacy rights.
“If the information with the kids’ location is uploaded to the internet, a pedophile with some cyber knowledge may invade the system and stalk them outside their schools, follow them and distribute the information on other platforms,” Meron stated. “Can the state take responsibility for that?”
The Prime Minister’s Office replied to the report, telling Ynet that Netanyahu’s suggestion “is not to be implemented through databases, but through simple technology notifying [the citizens] about their distance. It is a voluntary option that is designed to help children keep their distance, like Mobileye with vehicles.”
The office also noted that Netanyahu’s suggestion is “an idea that may help maintain social distancing, and there will not be any violation of privacy.”
On May 6, the news outlet Walla reported that police tracked the movements of all vehicles in Israel and the data is now stored in an unregulated database named Eagle Eye. The media site cited a source which revealed that the information “may be kept for years on end.”
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act that police make public how extensive the Eagle Eye operations are, in addition to the time the information on Israeli citizens’ movements that is constantly being gathered in the system.
Israel Police responded to ACRI’s concerns, declaring that the system’s activity was not subject to internal standards despite being in operation for several years. “Either way, once finalized, the procedure will not be disclosed to the public,” police highlighted.
All over the world, the Wuhan virus is bringing up similar dilemmas.
Although public safety is necessary, there needs to be a balance between keeping the population safe while respecting traditional freedoms.
Israel like the U.S., would be wise to exercise prudence when trying to handle the Wuhan virus.

MSNBC Founder Admits Joe Biden “Very Unsatisfying” In “Friendly, Softball Interviews”
MSNBC founder Tom Rogers admitted that Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden was struggling to articulate on the virtual campaign trail during an appearance on Morning Joe on Monday, stating that the former Vice President was “very unsatisfying” in “friendly, softball interviews.”
Joe Biden has been shaky in numerous digital media appearances since the onset of the national coronavirus quarantine, at times rambling in an incoherent fashion and struggling to communicate clearly with liberal media interviewers seeking to set up the former Vice President was easy shots at President Donald Trump.
Tom Rogers was asked about Biden’s acuity and campaign communication ability at 11:30 in this MSNBC segment.
“His performances have been very unsatisfying… And basically he’s been getting softball interviews with the exception of yours, Mika on the sexual harassment issues… I think the campaign really needs to figure how he will be in the position to discuss the defining issue of this election in a much more compelling way than he’s been able to do to date.”
Rogers is the latest of several left-leaning national figures to honestly question the abilities of the Democratic nominee to communicate at the level required to win a presidential election. The mainstream media executive later went on to bluntly question his communicative acuity when asked about his messaging on the coronavirus pandemic.
“When you listen to him on the pandemic… It’s a lot of disconnected phrases. It doesn’t really come together in a very convincing message. Every morning you guys put together and crystallize what that critique of Trump is. It’s not hard. And he can do it in an op-ed. But when it comes to social media and television, and he’s prime time, in the spotlight in the campaign, that articulation is going to have to be much clearer than it has been. And I really fear a crisis for the candidate if he cannot come up with a more convincing way to put out there exactly what the critique of Trump is.”
Should Biden prove woefully unable to muster the charisma necessary for a national presidential campaign, Rogers’ remarks could prove to be a prophetic warning to Democrats who wanted the safe, milquetoast choice of a nominee.

A Michigan Circuit Court Judge in Shiawassee County rejected the complaint filed by the Michigan Attorney General ’ s Office to shut down barber Karl Manke , who has refused the order from Governor Gretchen Whitmer calling his business “ non-essential.
” Attorney General Dana Nessel tried to file a temporary restraining order today against Manke in order to criminalize his barber shop operation in Owosso .
He is able to remain in operation for the time being because a judge rejected her request , although the state has charged him with misdemeanor crimes .
“ The next step now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Attorney General ) appeals or not , ” said attorney David A. Kallman , who is presenting Manke .
“ I don ’ t know if they ’ re going to , but for our point of view , the next step is two criminal charges pending against him in district court for misdemeanors , ” he added .

California Man Has Been Arrested, Released Without Bail Seven Times Since Beginning of Shelter-in-Place Order
The Alameda County Sheriff’s Department is pointing to the crime spree of a California man who has been arrested a whopping seven times since the initiation of the state’s ‘shelter-in-place’ order, arguing he’s been enabled by state and county jailbreak policies that seek to empty detention facilities on the basis of the coronavirus threat.
Waseen Abuhwaidi has been arrested for multiple assaults, stolen vehicles, theft, trespassing, robbery, and attempted carjacking. It appears his quarantine crime spree appears to have come to an end with a Monday arrest, as an Alameda County judge has ordered him detained with a $200,000 bail. Abuhwaidi would’ve been all but certainly detained with a bond if not for the coronavirus epidemic, which has eliminated standard bail requirements for criminal defendants, including repeat offenders.
Waseen Abuhwaidi has been arrested a record 7 times during SIP. Numerous assaults, stolen vheicles, thefts, trespassing and now robbery and attempt carjacking. All in multiple cities. 200k bail will keep him in custody for now. #Zerobail is a Fail. pic.twitter.com/CqgoW6qkjl — Alameda County Sheriff (@ACSOSheriffs) May 11, 2020
Most recently Abuhwaidi was arrested for an alleged assault in Dublin, California, with police describing the man as fleeing officers that responded to the incident. He’s suspected of other crimes in several Alameda county cities.
Even in times of a public health emergency, it’s hard to think of a justification for freeing someone so intent on crime from the jail system.
Some California jail inmates have been caught on camera attempting to intentionally infect themselves with coronavirus in order to be granted a health jailbreak from the detention system.

America First patriots quickly identified the stealth amnesty, and slammed the Democrats for underhanded attempts to undermine immigration law during the national pandemic.
And of course the Democrats snuck amnesty into the bill: Illegal immigrants in “essential services” would be authorized to work for the duration of the crisis. Meanwhile, 22 million Americans are unemployed. Don’t you think those Americans want a job? — Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) May 13, 2020
The Democratic stimulus proposal also contains a laundry list of progressive policy dreams, proposed under the guise of responding to the recession that has accompanied the health pandemic. The plan would standardize a vote-by-mail system in every state in the union, creating a nightmare scenario for election fraud.
The Democrats also want to force states to allow vote by mail—but would *prohibit* states from requiring photo ID, notarization, or witness signatures to send or receive mail-in ballots. This is the perfect storm for voter fraud. — Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) May 13, 2020

bigleaguepolitics--2020-05-13--1984: Washington Reopening Plan Will Require Restaurants to Keep Log of Customers for Contact Tracin

New analysis by columnist Phil Kerpen indicates that half of coronavirus deaths recorded throughout the United States have come out of nursing homes .
Kerpen ’ s data indicates that there have been 32,161 COVID-19 deaths inside nursing homes out of 62,740 overall coronavirus deaths , accounting for 51.6 of the overall death total .
These are the numbers including New York , which has been doubled to compensate for hospital deaths being excluded .
take our poll - story continues below Without New York included in the total , there have been 21,620 nursing home COVID-19 deaths out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ throughout the country , which accounts for 51.8 percent of the overall death total .
In some states , the number surpasses 50 percent by a wide margin .
The number of coronavirus deaths out of nursing homes has consistently risen , and the most vulnerable have been put needlessly at risk due to the tragic decisions of Democrat governors in blue states .
Michigan state senator Lana Theis of Brighton called out anti-Trump Governor Gretchen Whitmer for allowing COVID-19 patients to be housed at nursing homes and infect the most vulnerable needlessly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deceased COVID-19 patients in Michigan are over the age of 70 , it simply does not make sense to unnecessarily increase the risk of infection and death of existing nursing home residents by moving in people who have already been infected by the new coronavirus , ” said Theis in a press release .
“ I respectfully suggest that this practice be immediately discontinued and that such persons be relocated to alternative sites , perhaps including existing field hospitals that have been constructed for the express purpose of treating COVID-19 , ” she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Andrew Cuomo actually issued an edict forcing nursing homes to take in coronavirus patients .
This has caused observers to say that Cuomo has “ blood on his hands ” for his decision .
Morbidly , the state of New York gave body bags to nursing homes as the coronavirus patients were transferred there .
“ My colleague noticed that one of the boxes was extremely heavy .
Curious as to what could possibly be making that particular box so much heavier than the rest , he opened it , ” an executive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the New York Post last month .
“ The first two coronavirus patients were accompanied by five body bags , ” the whistleblower added .
The health care executive was flabbergasted at Cuomo ’ s mismanagement of the entire situation and the lives that have been lost as a result .
“ Cuomo has blood on his hands .
He really does .
There ’ s no way to sugarcoat this , ” the executive said .
“ Why in the world would you be sending coronavirus patients to a nursing home , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease resides ?
” they added .
The crisis has been worsened because of Democrat mismanagement , which may be more than mere incompetence .
They may have used this crisis to knock some elderly voters off before they have the chance to vote in November .

1984: Washington Reopening Plan Will Require Restaurants to Keep Log of Customers for Contact Tracing
The State of Washington is outlining reopening guidelines for restaurants that require the establishments to retain a logbook of customers for the purpose of coronavirus contact tracing. Eight counties within the state were authorized Monday for ‘phase two’ of a state reopening plan, which sets forth thirteen regulations for restaurants that will be permitted to reopen with 50% capacity and a table limit of five.
Restaurants in authorized counties are also being required to “create a daily log of customers and maintain that daily log for 30 days, including telephone/email contact information, and time in.”
The efficacy of this micromanaged contact tracing method is questionable, considering that it’s possible it could harm attempts to practice social distancing. How will smaller restaurants manage a situation in which their patrons have to line up and fill out a detailed entry in a logbook, using materials that other people have touched?
Restaurants are being required to demonstrate that they can obey the thirteen coronavirus reopening guidelines before resuming their business operations. Tables must be placed in a manner that allows all customers to maintain six feet of distance between patrons of another dinner party, and hand sanitzer must be readily available.
Micromanaging the already regulated ongoings of daily life would seem to be a surefire way to discourage the public from following measured and moderate social distancing and disease prevention rules.

Liz Cheney Bows at the Altar of Government Science, Declares America “Needs” Dr. Fauci to Defeat the Wuhan Virus
Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney came to the defense of White House Wuhan virus task force member Anthony Fauci on May 12 and congratulated him for his work throughout the pandemic.
“Dr. Fauci is one of the finest public servants we have ever had. He is not a partisan,” the congresswoman tweeted. “His only interest is saving lives. We need his expertise and his judgment to defeat this virus. All Americans should be thanking him. Every day.”
Dr. Fauci is one of the finest public servants we have ever had. He is not a partisan. His only interest is saving lives. We need his expertise and his judgment to defeat this virus. All Americans should be thanking him. Every day. — Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) May 13, 2020
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been at the center of the U.S. government’s response to the Wuhan virus. Fauci’s advice regarding the virus and the government’s actions to tackle the pandemic has, at times, conflicted with President Trump’s statements.
On May 12, Fauci and three other members of the task force appeared at a virtual hearing in front of the Senate Health Committee to talk about the country’s response to the virus which has claimed over 80,000 lives in America.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul took Fauci to task during his speech at the hearing, telling Fauci that he respected him but that he didn’t believe he was the “end all” when dealing with the virus.
“So I think we ought to have a little bit of humility in our belief that we know what’s best for the economy,” Paul stated. “I don’t think you’re the one person that gets to make a decision. We can listen to your advice, but there are people on the other side saying there’s not going to be a surge and that we can safely open the economy and the facts will bear this out.”
Fauci responded to the Kentucky senator, stating he had “never made myself out to be the end all and only voice in this.”
“I’m a scientist, a physician and a public health official. I give advice according to the best scientific evidence,” Fauci remarked.
At the same hearing, Fauci advised against the U.S. reopening its economy in a quick manner.
“There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak,” Fauci highlighted. He noted that states that reopen their economies too quickly may have problems with containing new outbreaks, thus prolonging the recovery time.
A number of states have started to reopen parts of their economies recently, as more and more citizens growing anxious about the lockdowns and the economy continues to sputter.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-05-13--Calls For Recusal After Judge Orders Attorneys To Refer To Trans Athletes As ‘Female’

District Court judge Robert Chatigny has ordered attorneys representing three high school girls that they must refer to the trans athletes on the other side of the case as “ female , ” an action which has alarmed many as demonstrative of partiality .
The case in question is a suit filed in February 2020 by the Alliance Defending Freedom ( ADF ) on behalf of three female high school athletes : Selina Soule , Alanna Smith , and Chelsea Mitchell ; against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference ( CIAC ) .
The CIAC policy allows individuals to compete in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ identity , meaning male-to-female transgender athletes compete against biological women .
Connecticut is one of 17 states which adheres so extremely to the transgender ideology .
Before the suit , the ADF also filed a complaint with the Department of Education in June 2019 .
The situation also led to a petition in support of the students sponsored by LifeSiteNews which currently has almost 190,000 signatures .
National Review has summarized the situation that led to the suit as follows : All three girls have spoken out emotionally about the personal impact the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , saying that they “ feel defeated before a race begins , ” and are just asking for “ a fair chance ” for “ every young woman who dreams of competing , of having her chance , of being rewarded for doing her very best.
” Selina Soule described her situation at a press conference , saying : In a later interview , she added that “ it ’ s just really frustrating and heartbreaking , because we all train extremely hard to shave off just fractions of a second off of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do half the amount of work that we do , and it doesn ’ t matter .
We have no chance of winning.
” The basis of the legal case is the allegation by the plaintiffs that the CIAC ’ s policy is in violation of Title IX , which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex , because it disadvantages the biologically female athletes .
However , according to a conference call transcript obtained by National Review , judge Robert Chatigny recently forbade the ADF ’ s attorneys from referring to Miller @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ordered the ADF to call them “ female , ” even though that question lies at the heart of the case .
Chatigny ’ s statement as per the transcript : “ What I ’ m saying is you must refer to them as “ transgender females ” rather than as “ males.
” Again , that ’ s the more accurate terminology , and I think that it fully protects your client ’ s legitimate interests .
Referring to these individuals as “ transgender females ” is consistent with science , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ To refer to them as “ males , ” period , is not accurate , certainly not as accurate , and I think it ’ s needlessly provocative .
I don ’ t think that you surrender any legitimate interest or position if you refer to them as transgender females .
That is what the case is about .
This isn ’ t a case involving males who have decided that they want to run in girls ’ events .
This is a case about girls who say that transgender girls should not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ events .
So going forward , we will not refer to the proposed intervenors as “ males ” ; understood ?
” The ADF ’ s lead attorney , Robert Brooks , responded to this by calling out the absurdity of the order in the context of the case : “ The entire focus of the case is the fact that the CIAC policy allows individuals who are physiologically , genetically male to compete in girls ’ athletics .
But if I use the term “ females ” to describe those individuals — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opening brief , we ’ re happy to use their preferred names , because names are not the point to the case .
Gender identity is not the point of this case .
The point of this case is physiology of bodies driven by chromosomes and the documented athletic advantage that comes from a male body , male hormones , and male puberty in particular .
So , Your Honor , I do have a concern that I am not adequately representing my client and I ’ m not accurately representing their position @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be argued before Your Honor and all the way up if I refer to these individuals as “ female , ” because that ’ s simply , when we ’ re talking about physiology , that ’ s not accurate , at least in the belief of my clients.
” Later on in the conversation , Chatigny responded : “ So if you feel strongly that you and your clients have a right to refer to these individuals as “ males ” and that you therefore do not want to comply with my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But I ’ ll give you some time to think about it and you can let me know if it ’ s a problem .
If it is , gosh , maybe we ’ ll need to do something .
I don ’ t want to bully you , but at the same time , I don ’ t want you to be bullying anybody else .
Maybe you might need to take an application to the Court of Appeals .
I don ’ t know .
But I certainly don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this case.
” In response , on Saturday the ADF ’ s legal team filed a motion for Chatigny to recuse himself , calling his order “ legally unprecedented ” and stating that “ a disinterested observer would reasonably believe that the Court ’ s order and comments have destroyed the appearance of impartiality.
” Under AG Bill Bar , the Trump Justice Department has taken an interest in the case , filing a statement of interest this March and stating that the CIAC is in violation of Title IX , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ biologically male.
” Stories like this will only become increasingly common if conservatives do not effectively push back .
Perhaps between the ADF ’ s able legal team and the Trump administration ’ s support , this will be one case that stems the tide .

Calls For Recusal After Judge Orders Attorneys To Refer To Trans Athletes As ‘Female’

District Court judge Robert Chatigny has ordered attorneys representing three high school girls that they must refer to the trans athletes on the other side of the case as “female,” an action which has alarmed many as demonstrative of partiality.
The case in question is a suit filed in February 2020 by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) on behalf of three female high school athletes: Selina Soule, Alanna Smith, and Chelsea Mitchell; against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC). The CIAC policy allows individuals to compete in sports on the basis of their gender identity, meaning male-to-female transgender athletes compete against biological women. Connecticut is one of 17 states which adheres so extremely to the transgender ideology.
Before the suit, the ADF also filed a complaint with the Department of Education in June 2019. The situation also led to a petition in support of the students sponsored by LifeSiteNews which currently has almost 190,000 signatures.
National Review has summarized the situation that led to the suit as follows:
“The case centers on the participation of two transgender sprinters, Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood, who have combined to win 15 girls indoor and outdoor championship events since 2017. The year prior to Miller and Yearwood’s participation, those titles were held by ten different girls. The three plaintiffs have competed directly against Miller and Yearwood and have lost to them in nearly every case.”
All three girls have spoken out emotionally about the personal impact the situation has had on them and others, saying that they “feel defeated before a race begins,” and are just asking for “a fair chance” for “every young woman who dreams of competing, of having her chance, of being rewarded for doing her very best.”
Selina Soule described her situation at a press conference, saying:
“Like the other track athletes standing here today, I face an impossible situation… Now, when we line up in front of our blockers and the starter calls us to get into position, we all know how the race will end. We can’t win. We’ve lived it. We’ve watched it happen… We’ve missed out on medals, on opportunities to compete. But when we’ve asked questions, we’ve been told we’re allowed to compete, but we shouldn’t expect to win.”
In a later interview, she added that “it’s just really frustrating and heartbreaking, because we all train extremely hard to shave off just fractions of a second off of our time. And these athletes can do half the amount of work that we do, and it doesn’t matter. We have no chance of winning.”
The basis of the legal case is the allegation by the plaintiffs that the CIAC’s policy is in violation of Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, because it disadvantages the biologically female athletes.
However, according to a conference call transcript obtained by National Review, judge Robert Chatigny recently forbade the ADF’s attorneys from referring to Miller and Yearwood as “male,” and ordered the ADF to call them “female,” even though that question lies at the heart of the case. Chatigny’s statement as per the transcript:
“What I’m saying is you must refer to them as “transgender females” rather than as “males.” Again, that’s the more accurate terminology, and I think that it fully protects your client’s legitimate interests. Referring to these individuals as “transgender females” is consistent with science, common practice and perhaps human decency. To refer to them as “males,” period, is not accurate, certainly not as accurate, and I think it’s needlessly provocative. I don’t think that you surrender any legitimate interest or position if you refer to them as transgender females. That is what the case is about. This isn’t a case involving males who have decided that they want to run in girls’ events. This is a case about girls who say that transgender girls should not be allowed to run in girls’ events. So going forward, we will not refer to the proposed intervenors as “males”; understood?”

Gender identity is not the point of this case. The point of this case is physiology of bodies driven by chromosomes and the documented athletic advantage that comes from a male body, male hormones, and male puberty in particular. So, Your Honor, I do have a concern that I am not adequately representing my client and I’m not accurately representing their position in this case as it has to be argued before Your Honor and all the way up if I refer to these individuals as “female,” because that’s simply, when we’re talking about physiology, that’s not accurate, at least in the belief of my clients.”
Later on in the conversation, Chatigny responded:
“So if you feel strongly that you and your clients have a right to refer to these individuals as “males” and that you therefore do not want to comply with my order, then that’s unfortunate. But I’ll give you some time to think about it and you can let me know if it’s a problem. If it is, gosh, maybe we’ll need to do something. I don’t want to bully you, but at the same time, I don’t want you to be bullying anybody else. Maybe you might need to take an application to the Court of Appeals. I don’t know. But I certainly don’t want to put civility at risk in this case.”
In response, on Saturday the ADF’s legal team filed a motion for Chatigny to recuse himself, calling his order “legally unprecedented” and stating that “a disinterested observer would reasonably believe that the Court’s order and comments have destroyed the appearance of impartiality.”
Under AG Bill Bar, the Trump Justice Department has taken an interest in the case, filing a statement of interest this March and stating that the CIAC is in violation of Title IX, as well as referring to the transgender athletes as “biologically male.”
Stories like this will only become increasingly common if conservatives do not effectively push back. Perhaps between the ADF’s able legal team and the Trump administration’s support, this will be one case that stems the tide.

Garcia’s election victory, which takes place in California’s 25th congressional district, was set forth to replace former Democrat Representative Katie Hill following her resignation over a sex scandal.
