“And don't be fooled by the fact that this case is about therapy. The First Amendment applies to everybody, not just therapists. If Jackson can force a therapist to endorse gender ideology it only a matter of time before she writes an opinion forcing everyone else to do the same Let put this section from her dissent up on the screen just to drive that point home Jackson writes quote though these prescriptions certainly promote a certain viewpoint in this context, that alone does not suffice to establish a …”

My colleagues conclusions are puzzling for a standards based health care scheme cannot function unless its regulators are permitted to choose sides. So she's just coming out and saying it. In her view, regulators should be able to choose sides in an ideological dispute and force everyone else to agree with them. In her …”

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argues that banning conversion therapy isn't a violation of the First Amendment because it's about regulating conduct, not speech. This reasoning opens the door for potential government overreach in regulating all forms of expression, as speech is inherently tied to conduct. Understanding this perspective raises critical questions about the limits of free speech in ideological disputes.
“The Supreme Court yesterday in a major ruling for free speech, citing 8 to 1 with Kaylee Childs, a Christian counselor practicing talk therapy in Colorado, who challenged the state's ban on what it called conversion therapy. In 2019, Colorado enacting its minor conversion therapy law, prohibiting licensed mental health professionals from engaging in what it defines as, quote, conversion therapy with patients under age 18. The law, which targets therapists, defines that as an effort, quote, to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change …”

The law, which targets therapists, defines that as an effort, quote, to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions. So if Childs were to counsel a patient suffering from gender dysphoria who wanted affirmation of their transgender identity, that'd be just fine under this law. But if Childs were to counsel a gender-confused patient who sought to grow comfortable with his or her natural body and biological sex, it would be illegal. …”

The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's ban on 'conversion therapy' violates the First Amendment, marking a significant victory for free speech. This ruling arose from a case involving Kaylee Childs, a Christian counselor, who argued that the law unfairly restricts certain viewpoints while allowing others.

However, there was another big win at the Supreme Court yesterday on conversion therapy and on question attack on the First Amendment rights of people who want to render mental health care to people who may be struggling with gender issues.

Check this out. ...Jackson's dissent, and she said, "...to do anything else opens up a dangerous can …”

I'm going to get to in a second what's going on right now. Now, the case on birthright citizenship comes down to one thing. Don't let the left fool you.

The therapy industry thrives on keeping people in a victim mindset, as it ensures their continued income. Instead of promoting healing, many therapists benefit from clients who blame their circumstances, leading to a culture of victimhood. In contrast, true success comes from hard work and perseverance, which ultimately transforms lives for the better.
“… power to tariff. But just as we came on the air, eight to one, including all of MAGA, ruled against limits placed on the ability of therapists to do conversion therapy. You know, states were licensing and saying, no, you can't try to convert somebody and have them stop being gay. But eight to one, the Supreme Court said that's a violation of the therapist's First Amendment right. So I don't know exactly where this is going to go. I will know within the first half an hour of a two hour oral argument tomorrow. And I will report on it back here on Midas Touch and on Legal AF. Thanks for being here. Thanks for …”
