Biden DOJ Goes After State For Punishing Prostitutes for knowingly Spreading HIV – Violates ADA

February 16, 2024 — bunkerville

Another minority gal wonder from Biden’s Dept. of Justice who will wreck havoc on the men in Tennessee. Better to spread HIV than discriminate against someone with an “HIV disability.” If one had any doubt that the DOJ is off the rails, this one should clear it up.

Here is the story:

The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against the state of Tennessee Thursday over a law penalizing prostitutes for spreading the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), insanely claiming it is a “prohibited form of discrimination” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The Tennessee law, which was passed in 1991, characterizes intentionally spreading HIV as “aggravated prostitution.” Specifically, this occurs when a person “engages in sexual activity as a business or is an inmate in a house of prostitution or loiters in a public place for the purpose of being hired to engage in sexual activity” despite knowing that they are infected with HIV.

A person convicted of “aggravated prostitution” faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Most of Tennessee’s prostitution occurs in the Memphis area.

…

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division released a statement claiming the law targets HIV-infected individuals because of their “disability.” Yes, in the eyes of the Regime, having a deadly, infectious disease counts as a disability.

The enforcement of state criminal laws that treat people differently based on HIV status alone and that are not based on actual risks of harm, discriminate against people living with HIV. People living with HIV should not be subjected to a different system of justice based on outdated science and misguided assumptions.

It also follows a federal lawsuit filed by multiple organizations — including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Transgender Law Center and the ACLU of Tennessee — on behalf of four “Jane Doe” plaintiffs and OUTMemphis, a local nonprofit that serves the LGBTQ community.

Just who is Attorney Kristen Clarke?

Google starts out:

What is Kristen Clarke known for?
Throughout her career, Clarke has focused on work that seeks to strengthen our democracy by combating discrimination faced by African Americans and other marginalized communities. Her role involves ensuring civil liberties for all Americans.

Her name rang a bell with me, and indeed she managed to find her way here in Pennsylvania in our election process/chaos. Too much in the weeds to get into, but I had caught this then:

Kristen Clarke, Assistant AG Civil Rights Div is a radical Marxist. Ethical questions & ideological extremism. She was accused of multiple instances of providing false testimony under oath during confirmation. Only one GOP Senator voted for her approval

From Karl Marx’s America

Her storied past included a no win for the Boy Scouts of America

LGBTQ rights

In 2015, Clarke opened an investigation into the Boy Scouts to look at the national group’s ban on openly gay adults and alleged hiring rejections based on sexual orientation in New York.[31] The investigation was about “ensuring equal protection under the law for all New Yorkers, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals who live and work in New York.”[32] In July 2015, her office secured an agreement with the Boy Scouts of America to end their policy of excluding openly gay adults from serving as leaders in the organization.[33] The terms of the agreement applied nationally. In an editorial with Chad Griffin, she called for policymakers and the public to treat the recent wave of hate-motivated violence toward trans women of color as a national crisis.[34]

Of course this opened the doors for pedophiles but I am sure you already connected the dots.

Just picking up where Obama left off. A post from 2010

Good luck America. November cannot come to soon.

E.E.O.C warns business ‘be careful in requiring a H.S. Diploma’

January 5, 2012 — bunkerville

This should help out business big time. Now if one does not have a High School diploma one could claim they are disabled. They may have a learning disability. In the article, the writer opines that perhaps this might have the unintended consequence of kids not finishing High School. Hint: They are not finishing now, just telling you. So now the world is just one big disabled population. This reminded me of an earlier story last March. New ADA regulations announced by the EEOC  By the way, this came from one of  15 Recess appointments he made just  in March last year.

President Obama used his recess appointment power to appoint Feldblum and two others to the commission on March 27, 2010.Geidner, Chris, “Recess Appointment for Feldblum,” Metro Weekly, March 27, 2010.(1)

Minn Lawyer:

The  final regs implementing the  ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) are now available on the Federal Register website.  ”Like the law they implement, the regulations are designed to simplify the determination of who has a “disability” and make it easier for people to establish that they are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),” the EEOC’s website states.

But I digressed:

Employers are facing more uncertainty in the wake of a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission warning them that requiring a high school diploma from a job applicant might violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The “informal discussion letter” from the EEOC said an employer’s requirement of a high school diploma, long a standard criterion for screening potential employees, must be “job-related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity.” The letter was posted on the commission’s website on Dec. 2.

Employers could run afoul of the ADA if their requirement of a high school diploma “‘screens out’ an individual who is unable to graduate because of a learning disability that meets the ADA’s definition of ‘disability,’” the EEOC explained. More at Washington Times

New ADA regulations announced by the EEOC

March 29, 2011 — bunkerville

See our earlier post: Pro-Abortion Obama EEOC Chai Feldblum who brought us this nonsense.

I caught this story on Fox News last night. This will be an attorney’s field day. It is estimated that the majority of the population now qualifies under the Americans with Disabilities Act. I can  find little about this today, but apparently there was amendment legislation a few years ago, and now an unelected Czar has created an  interpretation. It was indicated that depression and PTSD are now covered, with employer’s having to make “reasonable accommodation”.

Minn Lawyer:

The regulations clarify that the term “major life activities” includes “major bodily functions,” such as functions of the immune system, normal cell growth, and brain, neurological, and endocrine functions. The regulations also make clear that, as under the old ADA, not every impairment will constitute a disability. The regulations include examples of impairments that should easily be concluded to be disabilities, such as HIV infection, diabetes, epilepsy, and bipolar disorder.

Following the dictates of the ADAAA, the regulations also make it easier for individuals to establish coverage under the “regarded as” part of the definition of “disability.”  In some cases, establishing such coverage posed  significant hurdles, but under the new law, the focus is on how the person was treated rather than on what an employer believes about the nature of the person’s impairment, the EEOC stated.

In the mid-1980s, Feldblum clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, the notorious liberal judge who authored the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion on demand. He invented a right to abortion not found in the Constitution. Feldblum praised him as someone who had the “ability and desire to look behind the law and see the people is not the classic way to do law …. He brings a sense of caring and compassion that will be missed.” Clearly, Feldblum favors liberal judicial activists who ignore the Constitution and who impose their own political views on the law.

ADA Strikes Again: First Burritos, Now The Kindle

August 3, 2010 — bunkerville

At least the Kindle case is not as ridiculous as the recent ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) restaurants in San Diego are not ADA compliant because wheelchair-bound patrons cannot see their meals being made. This prevents them from “fully participating in the selection and preparation of their order.” We’re not joking. (This is the same 9th thats going to hear the Arizona Immigration case) How in the world did we come to this>>?? Where did these people come from?

The Civil Rights Division informed the schools they were under investigation. In subsequent talks, the Justice Department demanded the universities stop distributing the Kindle; if blind students couldn’t use the device, then nobody could. The Federation made the same demand in a separate lawsuit against Arizona State.

The Washington Examiner reports today on a promising new education program that provides Amazon (AMZN) Kindles to students to reduce paper use in universities — and how the the Department of Justice stepped in to squash it. The DOJ actually threatened to sue the schools, including Princeton, Arizona State and Case Western Reserve, to halt the programs because it decided the e-book reader does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Blind folks can’t see the gizmo’s– get it? Glad to know Eric Holder is on the job… sort of..
