North Carolina governor Pat McCrory filed a lawsuit Monday against the United States Justice Department, asking a federal court to rule that its so-called “bathroom law” is not discriminatory.

In his complaint, McCrory (R) accused the federal government of “baseless and blatant overreach.”

“The Obama administration is bypassing Congress by attempting to rewrite the law and set restroom policies for public and private employers across the country, not just North Carolina,” McCrory said in a related statement. “This is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level.”
