Yesterday, I wrote on Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson vetoing a bill in his state that would prevent chemical castration and sex-change surgeries from being performed on minors. To put it lightly, I wasn’t convinced by his arguments (see Republican Arkansas Governor Vetos Ban on Transgender Treatments on Minors, and It’s Why Republicans Lose).
Oh, you mean how abortions are banned for underage children in Arkansas? Or how you can’t just shoot up your ten your old with botox? The idea that the government doesn’t already protect children by stopping certain “healthcare” treatments is simply false. Why would the same principle not apply to something as serious as attempting to “transition” a 12-year-old?

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a lower court ruling that former President Donald Trump violated the First Amendment rights of critics he blocked on Twitter, now that Trump is a private citizen.
Lawyers for those Trump blocked on Twitter argued that the former president s Twitter account functioned as an official source of information about the government, leading a federal appeals court to rule that Trump s blocking amounted to illegally silencing their viewpoints.
But Trump is no longer in office, and Twitter has permanently banned him from its platform over glorifying violence. So the lower court s ruling from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals should be tossed, the Supreme Court ruled, instructing the court to dismiss the case as moot, or no longer active.
