Chase Strangio will argue for the trans kids whose treatment Tennessee has banned. Also: The latest with Robert Roberson in Texas and the Virginia voter-purge lawsuit.
THE argument in the case is the fact that states still allow cis kids to get hormonal treatment, but not trans kids. I have to think this is too blatantly unequal for a majority of the judges. Not Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch, but hopefully for the rest.
Laws aside...I'm so tired of this state-by-state crap. Every American should have fundamental rights to healthcare not undermined by political actors who are using vulnerable communities in order to gain power.
The right wing SCOTUS supermajority of six were all born and raised Catholic: When they all consider homosexuality a sin and a woman’s right to choose “egregious”—what chance of trans rights success?
Dept of Politics Makes Strange Bedfellows Part Umpty-Ump: the ancestors of today's right-wing wingnuts would have been horrified by the prospect of ANY Catholics on the Supreme Court, much less a majority. In fact when the KuKluxKlan had leisure time they would go and persecute Catholics.
Every time I read yet another court case regarding some effing state's anti-trans legislation, I am dumbfounded that medical decisions, considered within a family, in concert with physicians using approved methodologies, are - ffs! - SOMEHOW a matter for state regulation or prohibition.
I mean, it's prima facie blatantly unconstitutional, depriving a class of people AND their family AND their physician(s) freedom of choice, and depriving them of even the pretense of due process and/or equal protection.
How can this be? And why isn't it patently obvious that SCOTUS should find for the plaintiffs?...but maybe WON'T?
Lots of interesting updates. Chase is awesome, IMHO. The case is in good hands, no matter the intrinsic bias of this so-called Supreme Court. Thanks, Chris!
You've written a Good article here today, Chris and again, Corporate Media has dropped the ball on this story. Thank You for sharing your insight with us and will reStack ASAP 💯👍🇺🇸💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Something to be on the watch for is what the Biden Administration does on the capital punishment front in the final days of his term. Will a report [unless I missed it] drop on the review announced a few years back? Will any commutations occur? Anything else? We shall see.

Oddly, Gorsuch is on board for the unequal treatment of people due to sex argument as he was the author of Bostock.
I don't think we can count on Gorsuch. I'm probably pushing it to think Barrett might step up. And Roberts.
But hey, I have hope that the obvious unequal treatment with the anti-trans laws will win the day.
