Opening Arguments

CHAPTER

Assault on the Federal Judiciary and Court Cases

This chapter discusses the assault on the federal judiciary by Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, resulting in an increase in drag bans and attacks on trans people. The courts are treating these issues differently, allowing bans on gender affirming care for minors and bathroom bills, but blocking a drag ban in Florida based on First Amendment analysis. The chapter also mentions the potential outcome of the preliminary injunction and the other judges involved in the case.
