I want people to try to be less pesimistic, the point is that technicalities like this will waste time. Every one of these exectuive orders is going to be challanged in court, and while the GOP controls the higher courts, these cases will start in the lower ones. With any luck, the lower courts will stay the order until things can get resolved. Every appeal, every challange takes time to process and judges are under no obligation to resolve things quickly.

The goal currently isnt to try and overturn the order, thats just pissing into the wind. The goal is to waste their time for 2 years and hope the house flips, if it does, we can send 47 back to his golf course for the rest of his term because he wont be able to accomplish anything.

They do not fucking care. They will use this the exact same way that they would have used it if it was worded correctly.

The reason why this is good news is that the more bizarrely worded the order, the easier it is to get it throw out in court, America even now runs on the WORD of the law, not the intent.

It's fun to think about the hypotheticals, but the reality here is that it does not matter the exact words in the EO. We know what they mean, and they won't let some silly technicality stop them.

I really would like to see some people ask for a divorce off the fact that they were married under false pretenses. They believed they were marrying a man.

"At conception" leaves no room for interpretation - he abolished gender altogether.

Remember that sex =//= gender.

The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

One team is trying to govern, and the other team is trying to win.

If Democrats lied constantly, denied science, sowed fear and hatred, and used the law to enforce their personal religious beliefs... They'd be indistinguishable from Republicans.

This assumes the Democrats aren't also keenly aware of what is happening and either doing a real sorry job of putting up any viable opposition or are in on the game. The two-party system is a front

TWO GENDERS ENTER! ONE GENDER LEAVES!

You kids are spoiled with all your gender identities. Back in my day, we only had one gender, and we were grateful for it!

For some reason this makes me think of the inscription on the One Ring.

We all know that's why the mistake was made. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

Trump decided he wanted to be the first female president obviously. Don't you liberals understand 5d chess!?

He literally just wants to be the first female president

Someone should sue JD Vance for addressing Trump as Mr. President. Illegally addressing him as a man. Clearly sewing doubt in the direct orders of the president, it's detrimental to the entire country.

If it's retroactive, then we haven't had a single male president.

No! That's where the pants pocket removal squads will get you.
