A Return to Sanity: Supreme Court Upholds Bans on "Gender Affirming Surgery" for Children 6-3 in a Major Repudiation of the Extremist Transgender Cult
Update: Thomas Warns Against Deferring to Fake "Experts"
Sean Davis
@seanmdav BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee's law banning genital mutilation of minors under the guise of so-called "trans" surgery. "The Court's role is not 'to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic' of [the ban on surgically mutilating minors], but only to ensure that the law does not violate equal protection guarantees," the Supreme Court ruled. "It does not. Questions regarding the law's policy are thus appropriately left to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process."
Fox:
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a Tennessee law banning specific transgender medical treatments for adolescents in the state is not discriminatory, ruling 6-3 to uphold the law. At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.The ACLU claimed that because girls who experience "precocious puberty" at ages as young as nine are given hormone blockers to delay their puberty until 12 or 13, it's "discriminatory" to forbid girls from taking hormone blockers to stop their puberty altogether, and then flood them with testosterone to create weird and unconvincing fake "boys." That's like saying the law should treat a doctor who cuts into you to remove a tumor the same as a thug who stabs you on the street.
"Lifesaving medical treatment." Get f***ed you vile ugly swine.
That law prohibits states from allowing medical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex. It also targets healthcare providers in the state who continue to provide such procedures to gender-dysphoric minors-- opening these providers up to fines, lawsuits and other liability. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that the law question is not subject to heightened scrutiny "because it does not classify on any bases that warrant heightened review." "This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy, and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field," he said. "The voices in these debates raise sincere concerns; the implications for all are profound." United States v. Skrmetti was one of the most closely watched cases of the Supreme Court's term, with potential ripple effects for ongoing legal battles over transgender rights -- including bathroom access and participation in school sports. The ruling could also serve as a legal pretext in future cases involving LGBTQ+ protections, including whether sexual orientation qualifies as a "protected class" on par with race or national origin. "The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. Nor does it afford us license to decide them as we see best," he added. "Our role is not 'to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic' of the law before us ... but only to ensure that it does not violate the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment. Having concluded it does not, we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process." All three liberal justices notably dissented in the case. Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a scathing dissent that cited a long history of laws discriminating against others, noting that transgender persons in the U.S. make up less than 1% of the country's population. There are an estimated 1.3 million adults and 300,000 adolescents aged 13 to 17 who identify as transgender, according to the UCLA law school's Williams Institute. She noted that SB1 "expressly classifies on the basis of sex and transgender status, so the Constitution and settled precedent require the Court to subject it to intermediate scrutiny." "The majority contorts logic and precedent to say otherwise, inexplicably declaring it must uphold Tennessee's categorical ban on lifesaving medical treatment so long as 'any reasonably conceivable state of facts' might justify it," Sotomayor said, adding: "By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims." "In sadness, I dissent," she said.
... Justice Samuel Alito cited "hotly disputed" medical studies on the alleged benefits of such medical treatments, and told the government's attorney that those studies "found a complete lack of high-quality evidence showing that the benefits of the treatments in question here outweigh the risks." "Do you dispute that?" Alito asked during oral arguments.In his concurrence, Justice Thomas had this to say about fake phony Expertism:
That last part is Thomas citing himself, from a previous concurrence. The full decision is here. Meanwhile, another lowly district court judge, this one, get this, a Biden judge from Massachusetts, issues another insupportable nationwide ban.
This case carries a simple lesson: In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct. Deference to legislatures, not experts, is particularly critical here. Many prominent medical professionals have declared a consensus around the efficacy of treating children's gender dysphoria with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions, despite mounting evidence to the contrary. They have dismissed grave problems undercutting the assumption that young children can consent to irreversible treatments that may deprive them of their ability to eventually produce children of their own. They have built their medical determinations on concededly weak evidence. And, they have surreptitiously compromised their medical recommendations to achieve political
ends. The Court today reserves "to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process" the power to decide how best to address an area of medical uncertainty and extraordinary importance. Ante, at 24. That sovereign pre-
rogative does not bow to "major medical organizations." Post, at 5, n. 5 (opinion of SOTOMAYOR, J.). "[E]xperts and elites have been wrong before--and they may prove to be wrong again." Students for Fair Admissions, Inc.
A federal judge in Massachusetts on Tuesday broadened the scope of an earlier ruling that blocks the Trump administration from enforcing a controversial passport policy requiring Americans to list their sex "at conception," rather than their gender identity. The order now applies nationwide, protecting all transgender, nonbinary, and intersex Americans. U.S. District Judge Julia E. Kobick, a Biden appointee, wrote that the plaintiffs in the case--originally just six named individuals--share the same injury as the broader class: an inability to obtain passports that accurately reflect their gender identity. Kobick concluded that the administration's policy is likely unconstitutional and not tied to any "important governmental interest." The initial lawsuit was filed in February by the ACLU, its Massachusetts affiliate, and the law firm Covington & Burling LLP. It alleges the policy is driven by "impermissible animus" toward gender-nonconforming individuals. Following that, attorneys asked the court to expand the ruling to cover all individuals impacted by the rule, a request Kobick granted Tuesday. The ruling halts enforcement of a key portion of President Trump's executive order, signed in his first hours back in office, which directed federal agencies to base official documents--including passports and Global Entry cards--on an individual's sex assigned at birth, not their gender identity. The policy also suspended the State Department's prior option that allowed applicants to self-select their gender marker, including the nonbinary "X" option.

Thomas has a couple of banging paragraphs on pages 5-6 of his concurrence on the so-called expert class:
The Court rightly rejects efforts by the United States and the private plaintiffs to accord outsized credit to claims about medical consensus and expertise. The United States asserted that “the medical community and the nation’s leading hospitals overwhelmingly agree” with the Government’s position that the treatments outlawed by SB1 can be medically necessary. Brief for United States 35; see also Brief for Respondents in Support of Petitioner 5 (asserting that “[e]very major medical association in the United States” supports this position). The implication of these arguments is that courts should defer to so-called expert consensus.

There are several problems with appealing and deferring to the authority of the expert class. First, so-called experts have no license to countermand the “wisdom, fairness, or logic of legislative choices.” FCC v. Beach Communications, Inc., 508 U. S. 307, 313 (1993). Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs, there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children. Third, notwithstanding the alleged experts’ view that young children can provide informed consent to irreversible sex-transition treatments, whether such consent is possible is a question of medical ethics that States must decide for themselves. Fourth, there are particularly good reasons to question the expert class here, as recent revelations suggest that leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance.

Taken together, this case serves as a useful reminder that the American people and their representatives are entitled to disagree with those who hold themselves out as experts, and that courts may not “sit as a super-legislature to weigh the wisdom of legislation.” Day-Brite Lighting, Inc. v. Missouri, 342 U. S. 421, 423 (1952). By correctly concluding that SB1 warrants the “paradigm of judicial restraint,” Beach Communications, 508 U. S., at 314, the Court reserves to the people of Tennessee the right to decide for themselves.

The entire Big Trans Industry -- and make no mistake, it's an industry -- is based on preying on confused young kids. Their entire business model is rushing confused kids into "treatment" before they have time to rationally consider it, and while they're at an age that makes it harder to rationally consider anything.

I cant imagine a more absurd topic to be "debating" than whether or not its a moral imperative to turn kids in to eunuchs for reasons.

This was probably the biggest ruling to come out of this term. Last year there were more big ones.
Truly disgusting and hateful toward children. no gender-affirming breast reductions for teenage Cis males either, right?
This isn't a debate Roberts. It is a law banning certain people from existence. There is a difference between a debate and a conclusion. Bigotry,.ugly and fully embraced by America
We will be stuck with this religious judicial system for a generation. Maybe longer? The article said "Another 26 states have laws similar to the one in Tennessee" Hard to believe that 27 states do this.
Good ole boys voting for states rights over civil rights. You would think the South won the Civil War.
I'm all for gay rights but children should not be getting gender reassignment surgery, full stop. Good ruling.(followed by dog pile of comments lol)

3 for Jackson. 9 for Sotomayor. 5 for Kagan.
My memory was wonky. I thought Kagan got more than Sotomayor.
That's kind of pathetic, really. Thankfully, 7 of the 9 that voted for Sotomayor are gone, and one that's left (Graham) didn't vote for Jackson.

If a state can ban the treatments, it cannot be forced to fund them either.
There are, to my count, 3-4 illegal injunctions, which had no support prior that have even less now.
1) the one ordering Trump to continue funding transitions for prisoners/not move them to men's prisons
2) The one ordering Trump to keep trannies in the military (maybe Trump already won that one?)
3) the one Ace mentions above, about requiring "X" on passports
4) One that orders him to keep funding LGBQT groups
The fun begins because the left is going to make a suicide charge on all of these all the way to the SCOTUS.
Because they can't ever let Trump have a win.

Key: Immutable characteristic that is discernable at birth.
The dissent here calls for a radical over-ruling of significant precedent. Skipping past all the precedent on immutable to get to conflating biological sex as the same as being a tranny.
She also noted, that not only can you not determine whether some one is a tranny at birth but, several de-transition as adults.
Which, is just like being black, according to the dissent.

The power to set policy.
That the Court can only decide if the law is Constitutional.
That's from the majority opinion.
I hope is the same reasoning they use on the birthright issue. That the Court should not be the one to determine the policy of whether children of illegals born here are citizens, that that is a political decision, a policy decision that must be left to the people to decide.

Precocious puberty can be a symptom of a much more serious problem. It also has its own dangers.

BAD NEWS: SCOTUS makes this a states' rights issue, so that sanctuary states and cities will add gender-confused youth to abortion seekers and illegal immigrants, further deepening the Red:Blue divide.
WORSE NEWS: SCOTUS ruling tacitly implies that there is such a thing as gender transitioning and it falls in the realm of medical care, rather than a biologic fallacy that deserves to be tossed on the dung heap of history. This gives the trans-radicals a lifeline and opens the door for future abuses.

No one is "transgender", "nonbinary" or "intersex". You can transition from one "gender" or sex to another. And no one is "nonbinary". Those are all make-believe "identities".

Did CEOs go from loving the gays to hating them in a year? No. It was never about the gays. It was about what they thought would be financially advantageous. When it seemed like the culture was all in on the gays they went all in. Now the culture shifted and so did they. They give no fucks about the cause itself, only how the cause affects the bottom line.

Birthright citizenship is just procedural, right? It's not about the merits but about lower courts and their powers?
Also, Thomas et al have been chipping away at the Voting Rights Act for years now, so I suspect majority minority districts won't be getting a favorable ruling.

Yea. EP doesn't have the same language as T7, but the issues are so related it's hard to have one without the other. Thomas tries his best to show how "sex" could mean transgenders in T7, but not anywhere else. But it's weak sauce. He's trying to set the stage to strictly limit Bostock to T7. That's usually the first step to explicitly over-ruling a decision. "Well, Decision X has been strictly limited to Y for years. Might as well just get rid of the whole mess."

What these "judges" fail to understand is that passports are not personal vanity documents but are allegedly internationally documents that countries agree are meant to properly and legally identify a person for international travel.
I'm getting a better idea why Muslims prefer to toss these jokers off tall buildings. When some dude commits a crime in another country, they don't want some confusion over a document and what equipment is present and in working order. Yeet them from a bridge and the problem of where to house them is moot.

Unfortunately, they have STATISTICS to disprove the regret rates, but as always, who's compiling them? Who is even tracking detransers? No one.
According to detranser anecdotage, if you change your mind at any point and just drop out of a program, literally don't show up for your next appointment, the detransing clinic doesn't even follow up. Not even a text or a phone call to remind you that you missed a vital check-in on your overall health as well as your scarring or calcium levels or other iatrogenic changes. The care is that shabby. Even the celebrated has-her-own-tv-show Jazz Jennings was butchered like a lab animal and left to fend for herself. Imagine a cancer clinic or other life-saving care program just shrugging off a patient like that.
The dropouts are never followed up for their satisfaction rates, of course. The only people who get asked about their regret status are the ones who are still "in" and still deluded -- or in some cases, horribly unsatisfied but deep in sunk cost fallacy.

There is no reason to say "sex *assigned* at birth". Sex is not assigned. It is based on your biology. It is not "assigned" at birth.
Also, if they want to play games with reality, wouldn't it be "on an individual's gender assigned at birth"? Or "not their sex identity"?
All this "gender" stuff is nonsense and against biological fact. It's madness that we have to argue about the legality of sex and "gender".
Look at all the time wasted and all the lives affected, especially children, by this madness. When if someone just stated in the beginning that no, no one can change sexes, this is all make-believe, these people have a mental illness, maybe this could have been prevented before it started. But the Marxist Left pushes this madness simply to sow chaos and division.

Obiter dicta. Extraneous language that has little or no legal significance. The key decision here was whether trans were a constitutionally protected class requiring more stringent analyses of state actions affecting them--they were deemed not to be so. That means rational basis test applies which makes it much harder to successfully pursue trans lawsuits for such things as funding, etc. The burden of proof now for Big Trans is now on them to prove in court that legislatures were unreasonable in restricting procedures etc.
The states via their legislatures being able to decide such things as medical policy is simply a followup to the Dobbs decision.

• A source familiar with the details told The Post that General Michael Kurilla, commander of U.S. Central Command (Centcom), met with Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran.
• If Trump orders an attack on Iran, Michael Kurilla would be the one to lead the operation. A source familiar with the details of the meeting told The Post that Trump is attentive to what Kurilla has to say and also respects him.
• Israeli and US sources told The Post Wednesday evening: "Trump would be pleased if the Iranians agreed to a deal he describes as “surrender.” Since that is not on the horizon, the working assumption is that he will order a strike"

The Iranian regime has been trying to murder President Trump and other American officials for years. It is one of the most basic facts about the threat they pose to the national security of the United States. And yet, there are people who don't want to act against the Ayatollah - and so they deny the assassination threats over, and over, and over, and over.
Tucker bizarrely claims that Iran is NOT trying to murder Trump.
That is flat-out FALSE

didn't some leftists try to enter Gaza via Egypt or some such?
I'd say, yeah, most likely, the State Dept. had to.

This will probably be Graham's worst re-election primary in his career.
But he'll probably still win by 30 points, at least, because the other guy (no matter who) is a crazy guy who will cut off your momma's Medicare benefits.

One of the weirder things in politics is where incumbents suffer inexplicable losses. Nowadays, more common for senators than for House members due to sophisticated gerrymandering of districts. Their seat appears safe until suddenly it is not.
That is often what scares the hell out of incumbents and they privately pass such tales among themselves as their equivalent of ghost stories.

Not the fires but fanning the air around the fires.

Dew likes still air. But even if not effective, you might as well have everyone out there to avoid a catastrophe. Its all hands on decks time.

@TuckerCarlson says the US needs to do “whatever it takes” to punish Iran for trying to assassinate President Trump.
“If we believe Iran is trying to murder our President, we need to strike Iran.”

“I got a question: where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties?” Acosta mockingly asked while Rubin and Ryan laughed. “Can somebody call ICE on the Trump course in Virginia?”
Acosta then turned more sinister when he brought up Trump’s deceased ex-wife Ivana to drive home his perverted point.
“How many immigrants has he married?” Acosta queried. “He’s got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey!”
“Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?” he added as Rubin and Ryan continued to laugh. “Immigrants are always doing the jobs that Americans don’t wanna do.”

How can you beat a film with Swayze and Keenu Reeves? I kid you not, I've watched it from start to finish at least 20 times over the last 30 years.
Except for a mostly non speaking role as Mr. Joshua in 'Lethal Weapon', I think Point Break is Gary Busey's best role.
I agree though, it was a very good movie. Fun to see Keanu go from Ted Theodore Logan to Johnny Utah in a couple of years. I think that's when I kinda became a fan of Keanu actually.

“Our democracy cannot very well function if individual judges issue extraordinary relief to every plaintiff who clamors to object to executive action,” U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil said in her ruling on Monday. “It is not the role of a district court judge to direct the policies of the Executive Branch first and ask questions later.”
Those are the words many observers of the ongoing judicial coup have wanted to hear from a federal judge since the first wave of injunctions from tyrannical district court judges started coming down early in the Trump administration’s tenure, blocking the president elected by the American people to do what they elected him to do.
They finally came from Vyskocil, a Trump appointee serving in New York, when she dismissed a case from teachers unions attempting to get the court to “commandeer,” as she put it, $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University. The Trump administration canceled the funding because of the school’s inability to handle pro-Palestine protests and violence on its campus.

The concurrences by Thomas, by Barret joined by Thomas, and by Alito, criticize or overtly reject (Alito) the use of one case, Bomstock v. Clayton County. That case applied Title VII protections to transgenders. The main decision says that precedent is not applicable here, the concurrences range from criticizing (Thomas) to outright denouncing (Alito) that decision entirely.
Further, Barret's and Alito's concurrences overtly call out the concept of transgenders being a valid group for any strict scrutiny questions, something even more critical in the entire culture war battle.
It seems Roberts, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh wavered at least a bit on some of the core elements.
