Right is still right, even if you stand by yourself.

Mr. Chief Justice, may it place the court.

This is Hans von Spakovsky, and you're watching and listening to Case in Point.

And the title of our episode today is the Supremes Act to Protect America.

On June 18th, the Supreme Court issued a very important decision, maybe the most important

decision of this term, if not of many of its prior terms, in U.S. versus Scrametti.

In a six to three vote, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law that protects children and minors from,

quite frankly, surgical mutilation and drug abusive treatment in Tennessee that are intended to

change their outward appearances of their gender, a law that was adopted by about two dozen states. Here to talk about it today

is Matthew Rice, the Solicitor General of Tennessee, who actually argued the case before the U.S.

Supreme Court. He's got a very impressive background, which is no doubt why he's a Solicitor General

in Tennessee. He practiced at Williams

and Connolly before becoming the Solicitor General. He clerked for Clarence Thomas on the U.S.

Supreme Court. He also clerked for a judge on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. And,

man, I havest, most impressive was

you were a professional baseball player. Before you went to law school, I found that very interesting.

I think you exchanged the fields of baseball for the fields of the courthouse.

And so you end up before the Supreme Court arguing.

Tell folks about this law in Tennessee because I think, frankly, a lot of the media

coverage did not really give a good outline of what this law does, but also what it didn't

do.

Absolutely.
