"The Supreme Court is absolutely wrong. Torture is never free speech. It's just torture. And faith has been used at different times to try to justify torture, and it's always, always been wrong."
"The majority rejected Colorado's argument that the law regulated professional conduct rather than speech, ruling that talk therapy is speech and that the government cannot evade the Constitution by calling it something else."
"Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter, arguing that the majority had misread the Court's precedents and that states have long held the authority to regulate medical treatments, including those delivered through speech, to protect vulnerable patients."
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear expressed strong disapproval of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that struck down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors. He stated that torture should never be considered free speech. The Supreme Court's 8-1 decision emphasized that Colorado's law regulated speech based on viewpoint, which violates the First Amendment. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, arguing that the ruling undermines states' authority to protect minors from harmful practices. Beshear's comments reflect a commitment to safeguarding youth from conversion therapy.
