Supreme Court likely to strike down Colorado's conversion therapy ban A lesson in how defining the case often resolves the case.

The first Law Dork oral argument report of the new Supreme Court term is a doozy: Chiles v. Salazar, over Coloradoโ€™s conversion therapy ban.

Thereโ€™s always an excuse or an out for this partisan bunch. Theyโ€™re legal contortionists when it comes to upholding far right policies. States should find a way to get around the eventual outcome and deem that free speech is not medical treatment so it canโ€™t be part of licensing or reimbursement.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

"This guy wants to do bad things to the country overall. You can't believe what he says, you can't believe his promises. He's dangerous and he's nuts. And that transcends all of these individual issues."

Not a bad reason to shut it down.

Hakeem Jeffries: โ€œTrump and Republicans have shut the government down because they don't want to provide healthcare to working-class Americans. Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and the ACA to provide health insurance in any way, shape or form to undocumented immigrants.โ€

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

So sadly true. For awhile it looked like that might change but we are back in the 1950s which wasnโ€™t anything like the Ozzie and Harriet show.
