They see the travel ban the president tried to impose on visitors from six Muslim-majority countries, which is still stuck in the courts, not as an attempt to enact the Muslim ban that he had promised on the trail, but as a reasonable effort to reconcile America's traditions of non-discrimination with the president's responsibility to protect its citizens.

Never mind that Google with forced non-discrimination likely means Google offering only the antiquated "ten blue links" search results page it started with in 1998 instead of the far more useful "rich" results it offers today; logically it would also mean Google somehow offering the set of links produced by any and all other search engines' algorithms, in lieu of its own.

The Court also found the President did not comply with the statutory requirements established in 1980 governing the admission of refugees in restricting entry via the EO.

Despite this compelling data, this year's Trafficking in Persons report scrubbed recommendations on the need for services to protect LGBTQ survivors from the narrative on the US. This inexcusable omission combined with the Trump administration's troubling track record on LGBTQ rights — the rescission of the Obama rule on transgender students' bathroom use, the revocation of protections for preventing non-discrimination of LGBTQ individuals by federal contractors, and the president's recent tweet supporting a ban on transgender individuals in the military — send disturbing signals of the administration's lack of concern for these young people and their vulnerability to human trafficking.

L.L.C.s would also be required "to disclose its beneficial ownership" with the State Board of Elections, requiring more transparency of entities that are often purposefully opaque, sometimes identified by little more than an address of the company that established the L.L.C. The push on election reform is expected to be followed in short order on Tuesday by two other progressive agenda items: a ban of treating minors with so-called conversion therapy, which aims to "cure" gay people of being homosexual; and the Gender Non-Discrimination Act (Genda), which prohibits discrimination based on "gender identity or expression" and expands the definition of hate crimes to cover transgender people.

So, let's recap: A transgender wrestler receiving legal testosterone injections to transition from female to male who wants to compete against boys but is prohibited from doing so by his state government while at the same time being hindered from competing in the division he has to (but doesn't want to) by forfeiting opponents and their litigious parents will spend the spring and summer competing in the male division at USA Wrestling events, presumably getting better and stronger as a result of competing against boys, only to be forced upon his return to high school competition in Texas (a state on the verge of passing a "bathroom" bill that would prohibit local governments from adopting transgender non-discrimination ordinances) to compete against girls by that same governing body that claims its transgender wrestling policy exists not to make life harder for transgender people but only to protect the health and well-being of all its student athletes and the fairness of its competitions.
