              • Someone else posted this one: "Today,we must decide whether an employer can fire someonesimply for being homosexual or transgender. The answeris clear. An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a differentsex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in thedecision, exactly what Title VII forbids."

                        Kavanuts is the new Scalia. I reject your dissent and file my own, more sophomoric one!

                        • Apparently the majority opinion is 30 pages, most of the 172 pages is an appendix to Alito's dissent.

                              Scalia actually wrote an opinion allowing same-sex harassment suits to go forward under federal law back in the day, so just saying...

                              Kavanaugh apparently goes separation of powers in his dissent, and ends with:
                              "Notwithstanding my concern about the Court’s transgression of the Constitution’s separation of powers, it is appropriate to acknowledge the important victory achieved today by gay and lesbian Americans. Millions of gay andlesbian Americans have worked hard for many decades toachieve equal treatment in fact and in law. They have exhibited extraordinary vision, tenacity, and grit—battling often steep odds in the legislative and judicial arenas, not tomention in their daily lives. They have advanced powerfulpolicy arguments and can take pride in today’s result. Under the Constitution’s separation of powers, however, I believe that it was Congress’s role, not this Court’s, to amendTitle VII. I therefore must respectfully dissent from the Court's judgement"

                              My download's at 90%, so hopefully I'll get to pull more quotes shortly.

                                Hopefully, that means he's a Separation of Powers "hawk" on future rulings.
