If you’re looking for a concise explanation to what happened regarding today’s #6thCircuit opinion on #Tennessee ban on #transgender gender affirming care and what it means for #Kentucky #SB150 #LGBTQ The #6thCircuit overturned the emergency preliminary injunction, stating: Per the Court:“It is well within a State’s police power to ban off-label uses of certain drugs. At the same time, it is difficult to maintain that the medical community is of one mind about the use of hormone therapy for gender dysphoria when the FDA is not prepared to put its credibility and careful testing protocols behind the use.” Nonetheless, the final decision on whether the law should be enjoined is due by September. The court may, in their ruling on the 20th, do one of the following: 1. Reinstate an injunction and stop the law from being enforced; 2. Remand the case to the tennessee court to hear and decide consistently with the 6th circuit statements in the decision on the injunction on the 20th; OR 3. Remand the case to tell the court to hear the case on the merits. The 6th Circuit did *publish* the opinion and, therefore, created binding precedent for Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. The case and publication only relates to the Tennessee court’s emergency injunction. The #Kentucky case regarding SB150 is now consolidated with the Tennessee case. It is expect now that the same panel will issue an identical order for KY, which has been has been requested by @kyoag @DanielCameronAG Chief Judge Sutton: “These initial views, we must acknowledge, are just that: initial. We may be wrong. It may be that the one week we have had to resolve this motion does not suffice to see our own mistakes. In an effort to mitigate any potential harm from that possibility, we will expedite the appeal of the preliminary injunction, with the goal of resolving it no later than September 30, 2023. In the interim, the district court's preliminary injunction is stayed.” No decision has been made in merits of case. The Court will expedite the appeal of the preliminary injunction, with the goal of resolving it no later than September 30, 2023. tL;DR all this decision did: stayed the district court’s injunction in Tennessee. No decision on the merits of the case.* *Not legal advice.
