So that was a case we had first in the Supreme Court. We argued the Scrametti case, which is challenging a Tennessee statute that was banning gender-affirming health care for minors. And so we were in court arguing that that violated the equal protection of Tennessee citizens, including parents who are our clients in this case, parents who decide that this isn't the best interest of their case.

No, no. It's always with parents in the loop. Minors don't have the same protections under the law that adults do. That's part of what we're doing in the passport case. If we go back to the passport case, I mean, it's both equal protection because people are subjected to harassment and violence if they're misidentified with the wrong gender on their passports. It's open hunting season for them.

But there's also a free speech right here, David. It's just like, how can the government tell me that I cannot, I can change my name. I can legally change my name. I can change it to Antonia tomorrow. They can't stop me from doing that. So there are good First Amendment arguments also on the passports case as well.

You know, I think the same principles apply, right? It's just that we have to make sure that the government stays out of the business of regulating people's private speech. That is probably my biggest concern right now. That hasn't yet materialized or matured. But it may.

You were not comfortable with that? No. We criticized Facebook and Twitter when they deplatformed Donald Trump. I mean, they kept people like Bolsonaro and Orban on, but they deplatformed Trump. We felt that they were not calling balls and strikes as they saw them. And we applauded them when they replatformed them.

You bet. We just took the NRA case a year ago. The NRA came to us saying, saying, you're the best litigation organization on free speech. This was a case of Governor Cuomo and the administration trying to shut down the NRA because they didn't agree with its pro-gun policies. And we saw it as a free speech issue, and we brought that case and won 9-0.
