I guess I'd have to read these books to understand that point. Most of what I've read or 4ead about don't mention doctors assigning gender, they are more along the lines of what John Kennedy read aloud on the Senate floor.

But, what i see as a bigger question is how the general public interprets it. I'm sure personal biases will play a role. That's how books like "And Tango Makes Three" gets banned.

Also, why are LBGTQ topics so scary to young students yet many of those concerned will expose their children to the Bible? And we all know the spectrum of stories in the Bible.

Are you saying that kids learning about Jael screwing Sisera until he fell asleep, then driving a tent peg through his head sets a bad example? How about Lot's daughters. some of the finest people rescued from Sodom and Gomorrah, getting him blind drunk so they could screw him and both get pregnant by him? That's just good clean Biblical fun like with David and Bathsheba.

As you know, 23(b)(2) injunction classes are easier to certify than 23(b)(3) damage class actions. The devil will be in the details going forward and it may well be that the Supreme Court makes it harder to certify these 23(b)(2) classes going forward. OTOH, I am not sure the Supreme Court wants to adopt a rule that results in 100 identical lawsuits clogging up the district and circuit courts going forward.

This one will take time to play out and measure the true impact.

I think this is correct. I am a little worried about fuckery when it comes to commonality, but what I like here is that for once, sanity has the advantage. Class cert will be much easier for meritorious suits than the 5th Circuit bullshit where they get a few doctors to whine and then suddenly we can't have abortions any more.

The Apple ones have been pretty lucrative as of late. I got a $1,500 rebate check plus $300 cash on one of the Honda battery cases. $5.45 would be ignored though.

I recieved $12 from Equifax. That equates to about $0.0000000000001 per hour for all of the time spent clearing my credit report of fraud due to their poor practices regarding reporting and data protections.

I truly hate equifax.

It's hard for me to see it myself. Let me know if you ever start agreeing with me and I'll smarten up.

Yes, I can understand it being hard for you to see. I imagine I'd have a hard time seeing it to if I intentionally turned away every time. We can all change our behaviors, it's not too late. As I said before, don't choose to be dumb.

I'm driving for it. Just let me know when you agree with one of my posts.
 
So in those states where laws have recently passed to require the Ten Commandments to be posted on classroom walls, can parents who are neither Christian nor Jewish opt their kids out of those classrooms?

And what aspect of LGBTQ-related topics is relevant to Christianity? How is being exposed to any LGBTQ-related subject matter in conflict with being Christian? And what about literature where the subject matter involves someone who kills another person? Can they opt out of that? That subject matter seems more directly in conflict with Christian beliefs.

I don't mean to be hysterical about this, and you guys may be right. I'm just envisioning a world in which (a) it takes 12+ months to get a class certified, in which time any manner of shittery can happen, or (b) lawsuits are filed in every district in the country seeking a local injunction. I literally could not be happier that Abilene, Texas is no longer the center of the legal universe, but I really worry about what this has done to civil procedure.

I don't know much about the practical details, but I simply do not think that the class cert in this case (for instance) would take more than an afternoon.

There's also provisional class cert, which wasn't addressed.
