"Judge Mustafa Kasubhai ruled that Kennedy had flouted standard procedures before publishing the declaration and said the issue raised questions about democracy. The notion that I will go forward and issue a declaration and see if we can get away with it' is not a principle of governance that adheres to the overarching commitment to a democratic republic that requires the rule of law to be regarded and respected and honored as a sacred."
"Today's win breaks through the noise and gives some needed clarity to patients, families, and providers. Healthcare services for transgender young people remain legal, and the federal government cannot intimidate or punish the providers who offer them."
A federal judge ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overstepped his authority by declaring gender-affirming treatments unsafe for children and adolescents. Judge Mustafa Kasubhai found that Kennedy did not follow proper procedures when issuing his declaration. The ruling provides relief to doctors offering these treatments and affirms that healthcare services for transgender youth remain legal. The judge emphasized the importance of adhering to democratic principles and the rule of law in governance. This ruling follows another negative decision against Kennedy's department earlier in the week.
