But without a doubt, in Scrimeti, Contaja Brown Jackson did not endorse the principle that, quote, there is no right to practice medicine which is not subordinate to the police power of the state.
She didn't mention that principle at all.
She's never mentioned it.
So apparently with this so-called conversion ban case, we've stumbled on the one area of medicine that

In every other area, she doesn't care what the voters think or what lawmakers think.
Now, already this tells you that Katanja Brown Jackson is not a real judge.
She's an activist.
She doesn't make rulings based on principles.
She decides what outcome she wants, and then she works backwards from there.
It doesn't really matter if her opinion on one case gels with what she says on other cases.
It doesn't make a difference to her.
In this case, the outcome Jackson wanted is clear.
She wanted the state to have the ability to regulate speech and to force people to accept trans ideology.

My colleagues' conclusions are puzzling for a standards-based health care scheme cannot function unless its regulators are permitted to choose sides.
