North Carolina ignores DOJ's call to reverse bathroom bill

The Washington Examiner reports:

North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore said legislators will not rebuke or reverse House Bill 2, even after the Justice of Department gave the state a Monday deadline for doing so.

"We will take no action by Monday," the Republican told reporters Thursday, according to reports. "That deadline will come and go. We don't ever want to lose any money, but we're not going to get bullied by the Obama administration to take action prior to Monday's date. That's not how this works."

The DOJ sent a letter to North Carolina legislators Wednesday saying House Bill 2 — aka HB2 — violates the U.S. Civil Rights Act and Title IX, and demanding that the state rebuke or reverse it by Monday. The law, signed by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory last month, prevents localities in the state from allowing transgender people to use the restroom of their choice.

According to Vanita Gupta, principal deputy assistant attorney general, a violation of the Civil Rights Act and Title IX puts billions in federal education funding in jeopardy.

Saying no to the Obama regime.
