Eleven states led by Texas have joined in a lawsuit against President Obama's directive on transgender bathroom use.
These 11 states are claiming the president did not consult with them and is ignoring their rights to decide. These 11 states are being led by a bunch of hypocrites.
Their leaders take it upon themselves to file costly lawsuits at the expense of taxpayers who were not consulted at all as to whether they wanted to participate in these lawsuits.
I, as well as many other taxpayers of the Great State of Utah, object to our hard-earned money being used to file costly lawsuits. Somehow, Gov. Gary Herbert and his clan think they have the right to do whatever they want with the resources of this land.
Well, not so fast. What goes around, comes around. What you have been served is what you have dished out.
I call upon Gov. Herbert and his attorney general to drop these lawsuits and to start using the resources entrusted to them more wisely.
