Cleо оperаtes а business knоwn аs the Women’s Sports Clearinghouse (”WSC”). The WSC offers a service  by which biologically female high school athletes can list individual profiles, video recordings of athletic accomplishments, higher education preferences, letters of recommendation, and contact information compiled and made accessible to subscribing colleges and universities interested in following, scouting and recruiting athletes for college sports teams. The subscribing colleges would pay fees in return for registration with the Clearinghouse. Until this past August, Cleo operated the Clearinghouse through direct marketing to high school coaches and their counterparts in the various colleges. Since then, Cleo has designed a website that would serve as a one-stop online full-service clearinghouse matching women athletes with prospective colleges. Due to her religious convictions, however, Cleo plans to decline listing to any athletes participating in or seeking participation on any collegiate team that does not match the athlete’s biological sex.   On August 28th the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate both passed a bill amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit private discrimination against an individual based upon their status as a transgendered person. The amendment includes rigorous sanctions for violations including fines of $1000 per day during which the discrimination is ongoing as well as possible incarceration where the discrimination is found to be “oppressive or malicious.” The following Monday the President returned the bill to Congress with a veto message. By September 4th, both chambers of Congress had watered down the bill by removing the criminal penalties while retaining the daily penalties. The President once again vetoed the bill after which the House voted 100% to override the veto and the Senate 70 to 30 in favor of override.   Cleo seeks your legal advice. She is uncertain about conflicting reporting of the bill in social media as to whether the amendment was or was not passed into law. How do you respond to her specific inquiries?   Is the amendment valid and enforceable? Fully explain your answer. Cleo has not yet rolled out her website. She inquires as to whether she could bring some kind of legal action in a federal court to prevent enforcement of the amendment against her before she has to risk violation and being financially sanctioned? Fully explain your answer. Cleo is concerned about the costs of bringing such an action in federal court. She tells you that she is a member of the Creative Website Designer Consortium; a members-only organization that provides technical assistance to website designers and developers in the form of tutorials on search engine optimization, graphic design, user interfacing and First Amendment rights implicated by content editing. She asks if there is any way she might be able to legally have the Consortium bring a federal action on her behalf to prevent enforcement of the amendment against her. Explain your answer, fully.
