Supreme Court upholds (6-3) Tennessee law blocking sexual mutilation surgery and puberty blockers on children

Chief Justice Roberts:

“…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. The voices in these debates raise sincere concerns; the implications for all are profound. The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. Nor does it afford us license to decide them as we see best. Our role is not “to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic” of the law before us, Beach Communications, 508 U. S., at 313, 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. The judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is affirmed…”

This is the correct role for the Supreme Court. Roberts is a solid jurist. He is a squishy politician and institutionalist. When he stays in his lane, he is very good.

The bottom lie: Children need protection from irreversible, unproven, and politically fashionable medical experiments masquerading as healthcare.
