From lifesitenews.com and written by Doug Mainwaring Wed Jun 18, 2025 - 11:56 am EDT BREAKING: Supreme Court rules states can protect children from ‘gender transitions’ in landmark decision - LifeSite
As you will read in the article, it was a 6-3 decision...
The question begs: why wasn't this decision unanimous??
If I may "speculate," there are some on the land's highest court that cannot recognize the Natural Law, let alone the Ten Commandments!
In fact, when she was before the senate judiciary committee as a nominee, she responded to the question: do you recognize natural, inalienable rights?
Her response: "I don't have a view of what are natural rights..."
Who was that creature?
Elena Kagan.
Yet she was confirmed!!!
Here is an exchange between Senator Coburn and Kagan:
(From www.reason.com.)
Coburn and Kagan on Natural Rights
The day after he unsuccessfully pressed Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan to define the limits of the Commerce Clause, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) unsuccessfully pressed her to take a position on natural rights:
Coburn: Do you believe it is a fundamental, pre-existing right to have an arm to defend yourself?
Kagan: Senator Coburn, I very much appreciate how deeply important the right to bear arms is to millions and millions of Americans. And I accept Heller, which made clear that the Second Amendment conferred that right upon individuals, and not simply collectively.
Coburn: I'm asking you, Elena Kagan, do you personally believe there is a fundamental right in this area? Do you agree with Blackstone [in] the natural right of resistance and self-preservation, the right of having and using arms for self-preservation and defense? He didn't say that was a constitutional right. He said that's a natural right. And what I'm asking you is, do you agree with that?
Kagan: Senator Coburn, to be honest with you, I don't have a view of what are natural rights, independent of the Constitution. And my job as a justice will be to enforce and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
Coburn: So you wouldn't embrace what the Declaration of Independence says, that we have certain God-given, inalienable rights that aren't given in the Constitution that are ours, ours alone, and that a government doesn't give those to us?
Kagan: Senator Coburn, I believe that the Constitution is an extraordinary document, and I'm not saying I do not believe that there are rights pre-existing the Constitution and the laws. But my job as a justice is to enforce the Constitution and the laws.
Coburn: Well, I understand that. I'm not talking about as a justice. I'm talking about Elena Kagan. What do you believe? Are there inalienable rights for us? Do you believe that?
Kagan: Senator Coburn, I think that the question of what I believe as to what people's rights are outside the Constitution and the laws, that you should not want me to act in any way on the basis of such a belief.
End of exchange...
This is a stunning admission!
Is that why the court ruled in favor of the sodomites?
Is that why pro-life folks have a most difficult time trying to save the lives of pre-born American girls and boys at the killing mills?
Is this why those adutls who mutilate their bodies attempting to "change" their sex claim they have a "right" to do so?
Again, this decision should have been 9-0, not 6-3!!
Here now is the article from lifesitenews.com...
"WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision this morning upholding Tennessee’s law protecting minors from undergoing so-called “gender transitions,” including surgeries and puberty blocking or cross-sex hormone drugs for children under age 18.
The court rejected a challenge to the Volunteer State’s law lodged by three families and a physician – joined by the Biden Administration – who had claimaed that Tennessee had violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.
The measure, which had sailed through the Tennessee House in a sweeping 77-16 vote, was signed into law by Gov. Bill Lee in 2023.
It states explicitly that “A healthcare provider shall not knowingly perform or offer to perform on a minor, or administer or offer to administer to a minor, a medical procedure if the performance or administration of the procedure is for the purpose of: (A) Enabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex; or (B) Treating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor’s sex and asserted identity.”
More than 20 states have passed similar laws.
“Excellent news!” proclaimed Ryan Anderson, Ethics and Public Policy Center president and member of President Donald Trump’s newly established Religious Liberty Commission.
“SCOTUS just ruled 6-3 that states can protect children from sex-rejecting ‘transition’ procedures!
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude. Every child in America is now safer,” wrote Chloe Cole on X.
“Thank you to The State of Tennessee, the parents who never backed down, and every detransitioner who shared the truth,” who is herself a young detranstioner. “This victory is ours!”
“Landmark VICTORY for Tennessee at SCOTUS in defense of America’s children!” declared Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti of the court’s 6-3 decision.
All six conservative judges comprised the majority, while Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
“This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy, and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field,” noted Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority. “The voices in these debates raise sincere concerns; the implications for all are profound. The Equal Protection Clause does not resolve these disagreements. Nor does it afford us license to decide them as we see best.”
“Our role is not ‘to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic of the law before us’,” said Roberts, “but only to ensure that it does not violate the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
“Having concluded it does not, we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process,” he concluded."'

Pray for strength and honor!

St. Joseph pray for us!!
