Yesterday the Supreme Court let Tennessee’s law prohibiting certain treatments for transgender minors stand in United States v. Skrmetti. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion in a case that divided the Court 6-3. It isn’t a difficult issue. The Court has tied itself in knots over the campaign for “trans rights.” The multitude of opinions in the case derives from the knots.
Hey, the losers can look on the bright side. The state of Minnesota remains a trans refuge. They can’t take that away from us!
I am undoubtedly lacking in imagination, but the trans campaign seems to me the final frontier of the left’s war on nature. It is akin to the axioms of the Party in 1984: War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength. To these we can add: Men Can Be Women. Women Can Be Men. It’s Your Call. As in 1984, the whole point is to shove it down our throats and demand our silence.
The left is relentless. The Tennessee case was a weak front on which to pick a fight. They will be back for more, sooner rather than later.
In Minnesota, we can look forward to our own Supreme Court’s opinion in the absurd case of JayCee Cooper v. USA Powerlifting. I call it “A lift too far,” but I don’t think our Supreme Court sees it that way.
