The attorneys general of 24 Republican states have urged the Supreme Court to stop allowing boys in girls' sports - just the latest shot in a culture war that appears to be finally breaking in the favor of conservatives.
The petition asks the Supreme Court to allow Arizona to enforce a law protecting women's sports that was frozen by a lower court.
The 9th Circuit Appeals court said the law may violate the Equal Protection Clause, which was ratified in the 1860s - a century and a half before the definition of a woman was ever a point of political contention.
A group of 24 Republican states, led by South Carolina, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 9th Circuit's absurd ruling.
"Arizona’s law restricting girls’ sports teams to biological females is just common sense, and it protects girls from competing against bigger, stronger males who identify as females," they wrote.
"In sports, equal access means a level playing field," the attorneys general added in their brief.
"And a level playing field usually means sports teams divided by sex so that girls can compete against other girls."
The other states backing the petition are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming.
It is just common sense that males have an unfair biological advantage against female athletes, but leftists have dismissed this simple reality - even after the Democrats' shellacking in this year's election made it clear Americans are ready to move on from woke craziness.
Public opinion on this subject is now clear - but the Supreme Court shouldn't keep males out of women's sports just because it's popular. There is a clear legal issue for them to address.
The Republican AGs are asking the court to "make it clear that the Constitution does not prohibit states from saving women’s sports from unfair competition and providing meaningful athletic opportunities for girls and women."
Indeed, the 14th Amendment was obviously not meant to allow men to dominate women in athletic competitions, and the mere suggestion that the Amendment's framers countenanced this scenario is completely deranged.
The Supreme Court has an opportunity to make it clear that novel attempts to stretch the 14th Amendment's meaning and purpose have a logical limit.
Enough of this insanity.
