From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 693: One of the points of attack against North Carolina’s House Bill 2, the so-called “bathroom law,” involves the potential negative economic impact. Nearly 70 corporations signed onto a legal document supporting the Obama administration’s effort to fight H.B. 2 in court. But one Raleigh-based business recently had the tables turned. Justin Danhof, general counsel at the National Center for Public Policy Research, attended Red Hat’s recent annual shareholders meeting in Raleigh. Danhof asked the software company what legal basis it used in deciding to join the legal fight. Danhof says Red Hat and other signees seem to have missed the point of the debate: The Obama administration is inserting the executive branch of the federal government into an issue that should be decided by Congress or left to the states.
