Attorneys who argued against Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming healthcare at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed hope that the court's nine justices will take "the opportunity to affirm the essential freedom and equality of all people before the law," while reports indicated that the right-wing majority is inclined to uphold the ban.

Bring back? Slavery is still legal, they just have to jail you first.

Probably not the best timing for this decision.

Stocking up on ammo and estrogen.

This court is illegitimate and should be rejected at all levels.
