The are slime that needs to be flushed out of government.

They were going to lose in court over Transgender rights and they knew that. What they refuse to allow is any community, town, city or county defying them over civil or environmental rights. I believe that will fail the constitutional test as well, but it will take time during which they will place even more barriers in the way. That's what they do. The people who did this are about absolute power over anyone in North Carolina. This should be instructive about what the 2017 U.S. Congress will try to do.
