This week, a district court judge was tasked with hearing a legal case on the Trump administration Justice Department’s investigation of physicians who practice “transgender care” surgeries and write prescriptions for “gender-affirming” medicines for patients under their care.
When deciding on cases, judges are supposed to be bound by the strictures of the Constitution as the basis. It’s not clear that happened on Monday, in the U.S. District Court, Western District of WA at Seattle: (emphasis added)
U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead ruled that a wide-ranging subpoena the Justice Department served in June on QueerDoc, a medical practice offering gender-affirming care online, cannot be enforced because the demand was not part of a legitimate law enforcement investigation.
Whitehead, a Biden appointee, said it was apparent that the subpoena is intended to advance President Donald Trump’s goal of wiping out such care for people with gender dysphoria.
“This is not speculation about hidden motives — it is the Administration’s explicit agenda, The Government seeks the ‘intended effect’ of its Executive Orders,” Whitehead wrote, “and these subpoenas to ‘downsize or eliminate’ all gender-affirming care. No clearer evidence of improper purpose could exist than the Government’s own repeated declarations that it seeks to end the very practice it claims to be merely investigating.”

Note that while the decision by the judge is dated Monday, it was officially released Tuesday.
To many people with common sense, that reads like an activist’s political statement not a sober judicial ruling on the merits of the arguments by both the DOJ and the plaintiffs’ (QueerDoc) attorneys.
Both Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ have weighed in Wednesday, with new statements after the ruling was released.
AG Bondi did not mince words, stating that “Medical professionals and organizations that mutilated children in the service of a warped ideology will be held accountable by this Department of Justice.”
In the same vein, the Justice Department said:
“As Attorney General Bondi has made clear, this Department of Justice will use every legal and law enforcement tool available to protect innocent children from being mutilated under the guise of ‘care.”
And if the judge’s name rings a bell, there’s a reason. My colleague Susie Moore wrote about this same liberal judge, back in May, being forced to “[rescind] his order setting forth a ‘compliance framework’ for the Trump administration that required them to begin the process of settling roughly 12,000 refugees in a week’s time.” That happened after a stern slapdown by the Ninth Circuit–more than once.

Now, has the Trump administration been transparent about fighting for parental rights and protecting children from mutilation and harm from “trans” medical practices and hormone-altering drugs? Yes. That was partly why Pres. Trump won in November 2024. And much like the case on transgender athletes my colleague Ward Clark wrote about (see the story linked earlier), and the victory for parental right conservatives celebrated in June with a SCOTUS decision–it’s likely this lawsuit will also end up in front of the highest court in the land eventually.
