ACLU Fights AG Kris Kobach Over Kansas Trans Driver's License Rules

We'll post a peek at their argument . . . However, it's important to note that AG Kobach has successfully argued his case so far and the court has agreed up to this point . . . Check-it:

Sharon Brett, legal director of ACLU of Kansas, argued in a 60-page document submitted to the Shawnee County District Court that Attorney General Kris Kobach’s mistaken interpretation of how a new state law applied to driver’s licenses could result in violation of rights guaranteed under the Kansas Constitution.

Kobach relied on his analysis of Senate Bill 180 when filing a lawsuit against the Kansas Department of Revenue to halt the agency’s acceptance of gender identity changes on driver’s licenses.

The ACLU intervened in the dispute centered on implications of Senate Bill 180, a vague piece of legislation labeled the Women’s Bill of Rights.

“The alleged conflict is one of petitioner’s imagination,” Brett said. “Even if SB 180 could be interpreted to require denial of driver’s licenses with accurate gender markers to transgender Kansans, which it does not, petitioner’s requested relief should still be denied because it would violate intervenor-respondents’ rights to personal autonomy, privacy and equal protection under the Kansas Constitution.”

“The balance of hardships, the public interest and irreparable harm tips overwhelmingly in favor of resuming KDOR’s gender marker policy during the remainder of this litigation,” she said.
