Every conservative justice expressed skepticism Wednesday of the Biden administration’s challenge to state ban on child sex changes, except Justice Neil Gorsuch
Gorsuch, who authored a landmark ruling in 2020 expanding sex discrimination to include gender identity and sexual orientation in the context of employment, didn’t say a word during over two hours of oral arguments.
Tennessee’s law, which is at the center of the United States v. Skrmetti case, restricts minors from receiving medical treatments intended to help them live as an identity “inconsistent” with their sex. The Biden administration argues it draws sex-based lines on medical treatments in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.
“Someone assigned female at birth can’t receive medication to live as a male, but someone assigned male can,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the justices.

It was strange that he was silent the entire time. But maybe he had already made up his mind based upon the briefing of the case and had no need to ask questions. That doesn't mean he isn't solidly on the side of Alito and Thomas.
I think...A 4 and 4 vote...the case is good as it stands...
I think that's right
Children can not and are forbidden by law to enter into a serious contract.
Choosing ELECTIVE, supremely painful, and irreversible treatments to engage in a new crazy hobby is something only adults should be allowed to do.
Children are children and have no way to gauge the ramifications of such a decision and as such have been denied making contracts since the beginning of time.
Not to mention that this whole tranny thing is just a fad and if I told anyone ten years ago that this case would be before the Supremes, he would not have believed me.
In ten more years the fad will be gone.
I swear these Supremes couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. Not a lick of sense in any of them. They are pathetic.
“Someone assigned female at birth can’t receive medication to live as a male, but someone assigned male can,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the justices.
That is nonsensical on its face. No one is “assigned” anything.
One simply is.
We age restrict all kinds of things, even elective surgeries!
These government shills are either stupid or insane.
I vote for insane. I hope people like Prelogar are out of jobs come 01/21/2025.
I don’t seem to be seeing where a justice refused. Which one was it?
Gorsuch recused himself from a different case.
I’m far more interested in their views on public officials who use official powers as a shield to cover their crimes.
All three are often screwballs, not curve balls.
I can't believe the stupidity of the women on that court.
bttt
If one did revise I’d have to think Jackson since she couldn’t define a woman was during her confirmation hearings.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh Asks If the Same Arguments Would Apply to Trans Girls Competing in Sports
This issue isn’t before the court today but he’s wondering how far this argument will go if adopted.
Justice Kavanaugh asks about trans athletes in women’s and girls’ sports, which has become a major national cultural issue in recent years. Could laws that ban transgender girls and women from competing on female teams be constitutional? Prelogar says that situation is different from gender-transition medical treatment, because sports affect other people.
I hope Gorsuch has the good sense to rule against this bogus 14th Amendment claim, rather than siding with the three leftist wack-a-doodles on the court. The 14th Amendment was meant to deal with the matter of newly-freed slaves, as well as preventing insurrectionists from holding public office and denying full representation in the House to states that denied some men over age 21 the vote.
Decisions like Roe and Obergefell were utter acts of abuse of this Amendment.
I reject the use of the word “assigned” at Birth.
Why do we keep letting the Liberals corrupt the language this way?
Imagine the carnage in 20-30 yrs when these mutilated children have lists of pathologies that can’t be solved.
“ “Someone assigned female at birth can’t receive medication to live as a male, but someone assigned male can,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the justices.”
Oh, I guarantee you I would be denied a hysterectomy or abortion from every doctor I would visit. I’m sure my wife could say the same thing about seeking a vasectomy.
These people are being too cute by half and should be openly laughed at and mocked for saying such ridiculous things.
EC
“ Someone assigned female at birth can’t receive medication to live as a male, but someone assigned male can,”
Who makes these assignations? Is it decreed at birth, or are there perhaps some physical traits that lead one to make such an “assignment”? I would never hire a tranny.
As was Brown v. Board of Education.
He recused from a different case.
