Schumer fumes over Supreme Court upholding TN ban on trans treatments for minors

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, DN.Y, criticized the US Supreme Court’s decision on Wednesday to support a Tennessee ban on sexually transformed “treatments”.

“It seems that this Supreme Court has forgotten that one of their jobs is to protect individual rights and protect individuals from discrimination. It is a terrible decision,” Schumer told reporters at Capitol Hill.

Shomer accused the Republicans of trying to violate the rights of the transgender youth.

“On the ground, we had a draft law, that the Republicans wanted to take away these rights,” Shomer said. “We got, I think, every democratic votes against it. So she failed because she needs 60 votes. So we will explore every solution.”

Schumer condemned the court decision 6-3 via the Internet.

“The cruel Crusader campaign for Republicans against transient children is an attempt to turn attention from tearing health care away from millions of Americans,” Shomer wrote. “We will continue to fight, and we will continue to walk.”

Meanwhile, the General Assembly of Republican Bar Association (Raga) said that the majority decision “helps to restore the mind to millions of families throughout America.”

“The boys are boys and girls are girls,” Adam Piper, Raja president, Adam Piper, said in a statement to the digital newspaper Fox News. “While the Crusader Republicans against the transitional procedures between the risky sexes are irreversible, Dim wins extremist donors and a retreat towards Guma.

The Prosecutor of Tennessee Jonathan Scriptti – whose office dealt with the defense in the case – praised the decision, saying that “the proper sense of Tennessee voters prevailed over the judicial activity.”

“The rapid and unjustified rise in the number of children looking for these interventions that change life, although there is no supportive evidence, calls for careful scrutiny of our elected leaders,” is it. He said in a statement. “This victory goes beyond politics. It relates to the real children of Tennessee who face real conflicts. Families all over our state and our nation deserve science -based solutions, not ideology. The prominent decision today admits that the constitution allows us to fulfill the highest invitation to society – protect our children.”

The Supreme Court is divided into the state’s ban on “gender transitions” for minors

The case focused on the Tennessee SB1 law, which restricts the treatments of minors’s sexual transition to treat hard sex.

The results of the Legislative Council in Tennessee, as detailed in the statute, included that such treatments “can lead to an irreversible minor, or the risk of disease and disease increases, or suffering from harmful and sometimes fatal psychological consequences.” Republican -controlled states also indicated that the minors “lack maturity to understand these consequences and their appreciation completely and may later regret that the treatments and want to cancel the transportation.

When writing to the conservative majority, Judge John Roberts pointed out that the case from Tennessee “carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and political discussions about the safety, effectiveness and maintenance of medical treatments in an advanced field.”

“The sounds in these discussions raise sincere concerns; the effects of everyone deep,” he wrote. “The equal protection condition does not solve these differences. It does not give us our license to report them as we see better.

Conservative judges have eliminated that SB1 is not subject to increased scrutiny under the Equal Protection Item in the fourteenth amendment. They said that the law includes two classifications – on the basis of age and the highest medical use.

“Healthcare providers may manage some medical treatments for individuals between the ages of 18 years or older, but not for minors,” Roberts wrote. “Healthcare providers may manage puberty or hormone blockers for minors to treat some cases, but not to treat gender dysfunction, sexual identity disorder, or gender consistency. Categories that manage age or medical use are only subject to rational basis review.”

The decision says that none of these classifications turns sex. Instead, SB1 “prevents health care providers from managing puberty or hormones to minors for certain medical uses, regardless of the gender of the minor.”
