"Issue(s): Whether Tennessee Senate Bill 1, which prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow "a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex" or to treat "purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity," violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
This frivolous lawsuit case should never have made it to the Supreme Court imo.
More specifically, when Virginia Minor argued that the 14th Amendment's (14A) Equal Protections Clause gave her the right to vote like qualified men have, the Supreme Court did not tell her to simply claim to be a man if she wanted to vote.
Instead, the Court clarified in Minor V. Happersett that 14A added no new personal protections to the Constitution. So in U.S. v. Skrmetti, just like elite Democratic and RINO politically correct, vote-winning abortion, since the states have never amended the Constitution to protect politically correct gender rights, it remains that no such right exists now.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship [all emphases added] before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had.” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
The deep state judiciary is effectively compromising the constitutional right to a speedy trial by accepting frivolous lawsuits like U.S. v. Skrmetti imo.
"6th Amendment: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy [emphasis added] and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."
Democratic and Republican Trump supporters need to wake up and give Trump a new supportive Congress in 2026 midterm primaries that will put a stop to such lawsuits.
Most of the cases heard by the Supreme Court are concluded with unanimous decisions.
