And ... same? Also - you didn't have to! You could have just issued a summary op saying "See the Fourteenth Amendment"! Even last year in the nationwide inujunction case! 704069637
Reposted by @chicago-acs.bsky.socialAmerican Constitution Society @acslaw.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Once again, the Court sides with the religious right at the expense of LGBTQ+ youth. ‘Conversion therapy’ is harmful, and as Justice Jackson notes, the Constitution doesn’t shield dangerous medical practices just because they’re delivered through speech. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...washingtonpost.comSupreme Court rules against ban on ‘gay conversion therapy’ for minorsThe major ruling casts doubt on similar prohibitions in 30 states.

Reposted by @chicago-acs.bsky.socialAmerican Constitution Society @acslaw.bsky.social · 16/02/2026ICE detentions continue despite federal judges ruling 4,400+ times that they were unlawful. Judge Thomas Johnston writes, “It is appalling that the Government insists that this Court should redefine or completely disregard the current law as it is clearly written.” www.reuters.com/legal/govern...reuters.comCourts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally.
