Trans Bans

“In a dissent for the court’s three liberal justices that she summarized aloud in the courtroom, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, ‘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.'” Supreme Court OKs Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for kids, a setback for transgender rights. (It’s a setback to be sure, but it’s hardly a surprise. These are the kinds of decisions this SCOTUS majority was molded to make.)
