North Carolina Senate Leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore have filed a lawsuit in District Court asking the court to declare that the “Bathroom Law” complies with federal law.
Berger and Moore released the following joint statement:
“It’s unacceptable for the Obama administration to try to intimidate North Carolina taxpayers into accepting their radical reinterpretation of a law meant to protect women from discrimination into a law that would actually deny women their right to basic safety and privacy. What the Obama administration is arguing has never been written into law by Congress or settled in the courts, and that is why we are seeking clarity – to confirm we remain in compliance with federal law.”
Earlier today, the federal government filed a lawsuit against the state of North Carolina regarding HB2.
