Lambda joined in at the time, though there was considerably more blowback than I had expected.

Well, Lambda took that reasoning to the South and it looks like the justices in Alabama, Georgia and Florida were paying better attention than many of our friends in the blue states.

And “bathroom panic” does not trump the U.S. Constitution.

Who could ever have imagined this?
