Correct, which as I said: "At least a SCOTUS decision," where "amend the Constitution" is a significantly higher bar to meet.
If you think we're going to amend the Constitution to ban gender affirming care for inmates you're living in outerspace, but I suppose your position is that politicians are supposed to just say shit that has the correct hate-valence and then it's as-good-as-accomplished?
Inmates received this care under Trump 1 (because USG is obligated to provide it, Constitutionally): https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/16/us/politics/trump-prisons-transgender-care-harris.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/16/us/politics/trump-prisons...
They've tried stopping it in Trump 2 but have been enjoined by courts (because USG is obligated to provide it, Constitutionally): https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/federal-judge-temporarily-enjoins-federal-prison-officials-from-withholding-health-care-from-incarcerated-trans-people https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/federal-judge-temporaril...

I’m not taking a stance one way or the other but you aren't able to engage without arguing against points I didn’t make.
- estearum 1y agoWhat? Your argument: It is a purity test for politicians to say that transgender inmates should receive care (which Kamala passed, to the detriment of her electability) My argument: It is actually SCOTUS who decides this (or would require a Constitutional amendment, which is obviously absurd)
