Cory Heidelberger starts out his post on a transgender bill with this:
Want to see Roger Hunt in heels and make-up?
This is yet another example of Cory issuing a cyber attack on conservatives. He also attacks the rule of law:
Rep. Roger Hunt said HB 1161 is all about respecting birth certificates and the rule of law:
Representative Roger Hunt says the SDHSAA does not have the right to dispute information on birth certificates.
“They really have no authority to take a document that we use when we get passports, when we get driver’s license, and fail to recognize part of it. Where is the authority to do that? Again they’re exercising the sovereign authority that we as a legislative body should be exercising,” says Hunt [Jackelyn Severin, “Committee Kills Transgender Policy Measure,” SDPB Radio, 2015.03.05].
This argument is Roger Hunt in philosophical drag. He can’t just admit that his prejudices and insecurities require him to pick on kids who are struggling with weighty gender identity issues. So he dresses up his bigotry in “sovereign authority” and the sanctity of government documents.
Another example of New Age Theocrats attacking the rule of law and conservatives who obey their oath of office and stand for the rule of law. Expect the disrespect to only get more aggressive here in South Dakota.
