America First Legal scores major victory; Court rules again

For CT business owners wishing to uphold their conscience and protect consumers, the June 21st ruling is a welcome one.

From America First Legal:

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a ground-breaking decision in America First Legal’s lawsuit challenging the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission’s radical transgender “guidance documents.”

AFL sued to stop the EEOC from requiring Christian employers, including churches, to “allow employees into restrooms that correspond to the employees’ gender identity, no matter the individual’s biological sex, whether the individual has had a sex-change operation, or whether other employees have raised objections or privacy concerns.” 

AFL prevailed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On appeal, the Fifth Circuit also ruled for AFL’s client, holding that it has pre-enforcement standing to sue and that Religious Freedom Restoration Act prevents the EEOC from enforcing its so-called guidance documents against Christian employers.
