Legislators want transgender woman's claim tossed

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia legislators asked a federal judge to dismiss a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former state employee who claimed she was fired because she was undergoing a sex-change procedure.

Vandy Beth Glenn claimed in the lawsuit that she was fired from her job as a legislative editor for the General Assembly because she told her boss she was going to live as a woman full time.

The legislative leaders filed a motion this week saying Glenn's lawsuit should be tossed because it could lead to a new round of court scrutiny of public employees.

The filing said "it would make every decision by a government employer a constitutional matter."

The government's argument smells to high heaven of pretexting. =K

As should every private corporate enterprise also be held to the constitution also. I thought that the people who run Government took an oath the upheld the Constitution.

What, did Sara Palin write this?  Every decision by a government IS a constitutional matter on the face of it, and in reality also.
