  1. I'd just say no to these two options. Would like a real university instead
  2. Once Ancestry DNA and 23andme customers get their results, they should transfer their autosomal DNA for free to family tree dna: https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomal-transfer You can increase your chances of a match.
  3. @Dr. Dre's mom looked at the geographic origin of his potential fathers and narrowed his DNA down to one of these locations
  4. Death penalty for Meeshigan State! Just awful. Special place in hell for these pervs.
  5. Sorry for any confusion. I thought you were talking about well-intentioned, but fundamentally ineffective, foreign policy initiatives.
  6. I bet there are more illegals than there are transgenders in Memphis. If Memphis is not a sanctuary city, how can any of these illegals attend an NCAA event and feel safe and comfortable? Just showing how hypocritical NCAA decisions like this are.
  7. If I have time, I'll look up the number of circuit and district courts over the last 40+ years that have held that sexual orientation is not part of Title VII. Typical leftists - let's keep judge shopping for decades until we find one that rewrites the law!
  8. Congress has had since 1974 to add sexual orientation to the list of protected groups to Title VII, and as yet has not. It's their call - not some judge's. Many states and localities prohibit LGBT discrimination and these laws are enforceable locally, despite what Title VII says. Most major companies offer similar protection.
  9. Posner incredibly acknowledged his own judicial overreach in the case: "I would prefer to see us acknowledge openly that today we, who are judges rather than members of Congress, are imposing on a half-century-old statute a meaning of “sex discrimination” that the Congress that enacted it would not have accepted. This is something courts do fairly frequently to avoid statutory obsolescence and concomitantly to avoid placing the entire burden of updating old statutes on the legislative branch. We should not leave the impression that we are merely the obedient servants of the 88th Congress (1963– 1965), carrying out their wishes. We are not. We are taking advantage of what the last half century has taught." Yeah, but Congress has considered AND REJECTED your change to Title VII almost every year since 1974, and it's your duty to remove that burden from Congress?
  10. Original Title VII passed by Congress: It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer - Congress over the years amended Title VII to include: pregnancy, age, disability and genetic information. Since 1994 (and in some form since 1974!!!!), Congress has had before it bills to expand Title VII to include sexual orientation and later gender identity. "ENDA has been introduced in every Congress since 1994 except the 109th. Similar legislation has been introduced without passage since 1974." So Congress did not act on bills to add sexual orientation and gender identity to Title VII with ample opportunity to do so. Meanwhile, states such as California, which have modeled their state civil rights laws on the federal one, have included sexual orientation and gender identity. I guess they added them because they didn't think the current wording included them? Doh! All of a sudden, in 2015 or so, Obama's EEOC (thanks Obama!!!) started "interpreting" Title VII to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Who needs Congress when we have our Great Leader's "interpretation"? And now the Seventh Circuit has found that sexual orientation has been hiding all these years in the protected class of "sex"! "In making its decision, the court couldn’t rely on the fact that Congress has considered adding “sexual orientation” to the list of protections but hasn’t yet, Judge Wood wrote. “The goalposts have been moving over the years,” she said, pointing to Supreme Court rulings in cases like Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins." If you can't see that this is a court MAKING a law, you are blind.
  11. I am worried that Susan Rice is going to unmask my browsing history and sell it to @mugtang!!!
  12. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4376628/New-questions-claim-Russia-hacked-election.html What? The FBI didn't have access to the DNC servers to assess whether hacked by Russia and relied on conclusions by firm paid by the DNC? Oh, I can't see any conflicts of interest there.
  13. Maybe sexual orientation is in the "penumbra" of the Civil Rights Act, just like abortion and the "right' or privacy! You sure love you some of that judicial overreach!
  14. There are many more rulings over many years that sexual orientation is not protected under Title VII. This ruling s the outlier. Yes, it will be interesting to see if Kennedy ignores years of precedent and congressional inaction to add an entire category of protected groups to the law. This woman worked at a place with an anti-discrimination policy. Seems silly for a circuit court to go out of its way to expand a legal right when she is already protected.
