Dear Texas government,
Get fucked.
Kindest regards,
Washington State Residents
Not just the Texas Government, but the AG Ken Paxton in particular. And Gregg Abbott as well.
This is a violation of HIPAA and the rights of patients to privacy.
This is going to end up in front of the Supreme court. And we all know how this is going to go. Kiss your rights good buy. Say hello to transgender and abortion bounty hunters. I fucking hate this god damn country
I actually kind of doubt that. That would open up a massive can of worms with regards to jurisdiction.
Some judges are already demolishing standing. The Texas judge in the Mifepristone case ruled that the doctors suing to stop the drug had standing even though they weren't hurt yet by the drug's use. The fact that they claimed that they might be hurt at some hypothetical point in the future was standing enough.
Meanwhile, in another case, a judge ruled that citizens don't have standing to sue over infringements to their voting rights.
If they demolish standing, why not destroy jurisdiction as well? Of course, a ruling from the Supreme Court would likely be worded in such a way that red states could get anything they wanted while blue states had no rights to request anything.
They are destroying some kinds of standing, maybe it is better phrased. Offended observer is basically gone every time some non-christian tries to use it. In the land that disestablished the Church it is now lawful for state officials to lead Christian prayers at high school sporting events
I dont. The Catholics on the court will get their marching orders from the Vatican and Thomas will get his new boat.
They will just say that the kid is a resident of the state and as such the state has a compelling interest in knowing what is happening medically with the child even outside of state lines. Either that or they will argue that since bounty hunters aren't state officials none of the rules really apply. Welcome to the new world where people can just stand outside hospitals and report every kid coming in just so they can shot gun it to bounty land
I’d love to see them try it.
Building a government list of members of a minority group. What could possibly go wrong...
Proud to live where people’s rights are respected. Way to go Seattle!
