Hi y'all,
🏛️ In news that probably surprises no one, Clarence Thomas has said that U.S. Supreme Court precedent isn't "the gospel" and can be overturned as the court weighs whether or not to revisit marriage equality.
🚔 Gay adult performer known as Austin Wolf will spend 19 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer sentenced the 44-year-old on Monday after he pleaded guilty this summer to enticing a minor for sex.
👀 In Pennsylvania, two federal judges are now at the center of a fight over whether the U.S. government can seize the private medical records of transgender youth. The battle, two legal cases unfolding in both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, pits families and hospitals against the Department of Justice and raises fundamental questions about constitutional privacy, federal power, and the future of gender-affirming health care in the United States.
Onward and upward,
Alex Cooper
Editor in Chief, The Advocate
