Well, that escalated quickly. According to the Associated Press, the state of North Carolina has filed a lawsuit against the Department Of Justice. This stems from House Bill 2, commonly referred to as the “Bathroom Bill.”
Last week, the Department Of Justice said that the North Carolina law violates civil rights protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents.
A statement from Pat McCrory this morning reads:
“The Obama administration is bypassing Congress by attempting to rewrite the law and set restroom policies for public and private employers across the country, not just North Carolina. This is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level.”
