Probably. as far as they just need rational basis efficiency of the courts counts I would think.
He still has to appear for it because a lawsuit has been formally filed against the state so someone has to file an Answer, which I think is what you all are not understanding. The AG is the State's attorney by statute and must make that appearance. Otherwise, the result is that the State takes a default judgment, which would be completely ridiculous (i.e. if the lawsuit asked for $10 billion in damages and the AG didn't appear to file an Answer, then the plaintiff would win the $10 billion from the state simply because no Answer was filed). So somebody needs to appear and Answer for the State in any situation; if he personally won't do it then he needs to resign so that somebody else can in the AG's capacity as dictated by the statute.
Does that provision have a leg to stand on constitutionally?
Just seems to run counter to the spirit of the justice system...but this is why I have a science degree and not a law one.
That's actually the perfect example of why the CLT Ordinance isn't necessary. It's a criminal act for anyone - male or female - to assault someone in a locker room or restroom. This person was charged. The fact that the person is transgender is meaningless to the fact a crime occurred. Thanks, look-at-us PC libs!
