Man. Justice Alito is going to wind up voting (1) FOR gender-affirming care bans, because states get to regulate that medicine and (2) AGAINST conversion therapy bans, because states do not get to regulate that medicine. He will not experience cognitive dissonance.

“The main lesson from these cases, of course, is that the Court will bend over backwards to find jurisdiction when doing so aids religion and will bend over backwards to decline jurisdiction if doing so … also aids religion.”

Besides its merits arguments, Colorado defends its conversion therapy ban before SCOTUS by contesting the plaintiff's standing. On the blog, @espinsegall.bsky.social worries the argument will fall on deaf ears, given this Court's tendency to manipulate jurisdiction in cases involving religion.👇

I think we need a new strategy. Really famous people need to go to the White House, tell the President how great he his, and then explain that his top advisers are leading to the destruction of the United States, and unfair as it is, Trump will be blamed by history….
I’m totally serious.

I make this case tomorrow on Dorf on Law. It’s a ripeness question. There is no threat of prosecution much less a “direct and concrete one.” But the answer is cases brought by the ADF don’t have to meet the case or controversy requirement.

Happy First Monday in October! On the blog, I preview tomorrow's SCOTUS oral argument on whether Colorado's conversion therapy ban infringes free speech. I explain why the ideological stakes are mixed by pointing to implications for hypothetical red-state bans on gender-affirming talk therapy.

Jane Riley for CA asks about the duration of the new TRO. Immergut replies that it would expire in 14 days [notwithstanding further order of the court]....

For DOJ, Hamilton asks court to rule on motion for stay.

Immergut: I'm denying motion for stay and administrative stay.

NEW: Gov. Pritzker says that President Trump is tonight ordering 400 Texas National Guard members to deploy to Illinois, Oregon, and other states. gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/s/267a0ec0-7...
Gov. Pritzker Statement on the Texas National Guard Being Deployed to Illinois OCTOBER 5, 2025 1ส. 261U181 Office of the Governor JB Pritzker FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sunday, October 5, 2025 CONTACT: Gov.Press@illinois.gov CHICAGO - Today, Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement after the Illinois National Guard was informed that the Texas National Guard is preparing deployments to Illinois: "This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. "We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops. "I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. "The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness."
