Little, the landmark challenge to Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. Judge Nye granted Idaho’s motion to strike the dismissal notice, keeping the case pending in district court […]
This will be one of my shortest articles. Above is a picture of the Naval Academy Women’s Soccer team. First of all, these young women earn your respect—every day. Someday, they will be F-18 pilots, nuclear engineers, ship drivers, or Marine Recon officers. Today, though, they lead regimented and disciplined lives, learning to be good […]
Dear Friends, After five years of litigation, Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act has finally reached the United States Supreme Court. Now, at this crucial moment, the ACLU is trying to dismiss the case entirely, not because the issue has been resolved, but because they understand the strength of our arguments. Last week, my office […]
Dear Friends, Last week, I joined 25 attorneys general demanding the NCAA restore championships, records, and awards to female athletes who were cheated out of what they earned. For years, biological males competed in women’s sports and stole honors that belonged to the women who trained for them. The letter to NCAA President Charlie Baker […]
In 2019, the University of Montana allowed a runner named June Eastwood, a biological male who had adopted a female identity, to compete against women. Among Eastwood’s competitors were two young women attending Idaho State University, Madison Kenyon and Mary Kate Marshall, who were unjustly defeated by Eastwood on multiple occasions. The following year, the Idaho Legislature passed HB 500, making Idaho the first state […]
Dear Friends, Five years ago, Idaho made history by becoming the first state in the country to pass a law protecting women’s sports from biological males. This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear our case, Little v. Hecox, giving us the opportunity to defend that law before the nation’s highest court. After years of […]
BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced today that the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Idaho’s case to protect women’s sports from biological males. The Court will review Little v. Hecox, where Attorney General Labrador is defending Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act after the Ninth Circuit blocked enforcement of the law. “Idaho’s women and girls […]
BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador filed a supplemental brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to grant immediate review of Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act rather than sending the case back to a lower court. The brief argues that vital constitutional questions about sex-based classifications and women’s athletic opportunities require the Court’s urgent attention. “While […]
Over the years the line between exploitation, expediency and greed has become increasingly blurred throughout all aspects of our lives. Nowhere is this more evident than in big-time college sports that have become a hundred of billions of dollars Ponzi scheme where the universities, conference corporate leaders, and media moguls are capitalizing on the fruits […]
I want to lighten the mood from the past few weeks and write about a great victory and a great example for everyone. Anyone who reads my articles knows that I love sports. I played sports in high school and college, and I love all sports, but my three favorites are football, lacrosse, and wrestling. […]
With the growing tide of LBGTQ activism and the constant press of an acute minority on the senses of the people, we now face yet another of their many man-made crises. The whole transgender movement [along with the LBGTQ movement] is only a smokescreen, but an effective one at that. Communists in our midst are […]
There is a purity to the competition. These are real students who will have real jobs when they graduate. And they just aren’t any jobs. They knowingly accept the rigors of military discipline and subject themselves to the academic rigor that prepares them to serve in our military. My former defensive backfield coach at Wittenberg […]
