Lawsuit over Kansas IDs would be a 'morass' if transgender people intervene, attorney general says

The Republican attorney general in Kansas is arguing that a legal morass would result if transgender Kansas residents are allowed to intervene in a lawsuit that seeks to force the state to list their sex assigned at birth on their driver's licenses. Attorney General Kris Kobach's filing became public Wednesday and is part of his attempt to keep the case narrowly focused. He contends that the only issue is whether a law that took effect July 1 and rolled back transgender rights bars the state from changing transgender people’s driver’s licenses and not whether transgender people's rights are violated. Kobach last month sued two top officials in the state agency that issues driver's licences.
