Summary
The Supreme Court appeared likely to uphold Tennessee’s 2023 ban on gender-affirming care for minors, citing concerns about evolving medical research and deferring to state lawmakers.
The Biden administration and families argue the law discriminates based on sex and transgender status, violating the Equal Protection Clause. Conservative justices, however, questioned federal intervention in state policies.
The case focuses on whether Tennessee’s law should face heightened judicial scrutiny. A ruling could affect similar bans in 24 states.
A decision, expected by June, will shape the legal landscape for transgender rights and medical care nationwide.
Why do all the “government overreach” republicans seem to scurry into the woodwork whenever the government interferes with doctors and their patients?
It’s the mental gymnastics they pull. Fed bad, states good. If the federal government has too much power, the US could turn into a dictatorship. So let’s strip the fed of all power and enable the states to become dictatorships.
City government is better than state government is better than federal government until they do something republicans don’t like than larger entities should stop them.
They’ve spent so long just saying that the government is terrible and useless. They’ve finally scraped together enough power that they’re proving it.
In fact! We should thank them for showing us that government can be worse than useless, it can be actively malicious!
