Tonight we have dissents from both Sotomayor and Breyer in the last instance of the Supreme Court waving the matador's cape for Trump's machinery of death without so much as a word of reasoned justification
This is my story about the case. Higgs was not the triggerman in the murder of Tamika Black, Tanji Jackson and Mishann Chinn\u2014the government concedes this. The man who was the shooter later said the prosecution\u2019s theory was \u201cbullshit.\u201d https://t.co/Za8lcSB3zN

Dustin Higgs was pronounced dead at 1:23 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 16 at FCC-TH. His final words, \u201cFirst, I\u2019d like to state I am an innocent man.\u201d He named the three victims, then said, \u201cI am not responsible for their deaths and I did not order the murders.\u201d

More from Law
Some WESC submissions that are worth a read....(my thread of bookmarks)
Judge Paula Grey is president of the Gender Recognition Panel
She doesn't make any recommendations, but she sets out how the process currently works
Which chimes with my analysis of the GRP User Panel and statistics https://t.co/XixEz7lNJv
She is also co-author if the Equal Treatment Bench Book and writes about how the judges are trained by Gendered Intelligence
There is the government's own response
https://t.co/bOn9XecAkz
On single sex spaces they say the law is clear that service providers are able to restrict access to spaces on the basis of biological sex where there is clear justification.
The response from @womensaid is significant.
Their members want trans survivors to get support they need but not by undermining their ability to serve women with female staff & female only services
They highlight lack of clarity
https://t.co/p7096sZcos
This was their position in 2015
They have moved on alot - they have been consulting with members since last year, and have had the courage to say what their members told them, not what Stonewall wanted to
