Critics said his action was more cosmetic than real.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. McCrory signed the legislation immediately after it was passed last month and, 20 days later, made his slight retreat with an executive order that he said would alter the equal employment policy for state workers to cover discrimination claims related to sexual orientation and gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>He also said he would urge lawmakers to reverse course and allow people to bring discrimination cases in state court\u2026 [<em>emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/04\/13\/us\/north-carolina-governor-pat-mccrory.html\" target=\"_blank\">NY Times<\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/on.msnbc.com\/1VnC3Bz\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel; Maddow<\/a> covered the story and extended it to Tennessee.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/player.theplatform.com\/p\/7wvmTC\/MSNBCEmbeddedOffSite?guid=n_maddow_tennessee_160412\" width=\"635\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Note that neither the Times, nor Rachel came out and said McCrory\u2019s pretense at ducking is just smoke and mirrors.&#160; I say so because it\u2019s all talk.&#160; He hasn\u2019t actually done anything.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if xhamster is Religious Reichsfuhrer McCrory&#8217;s favorite site.
