Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. The lawsuit, which also involves Montana, challenges a new rule that mandates states to pay for gender transition procedures through Medicaid and requires healthcare providers to perform these procedures, even if it violates state law. Additionally, Paxton secured a major victory by obtaining an injunction against the Biden Administration's attempt to enforce Title IX policies that would compel Texas schools to adopt transgender policies, which he argued were in violation of state and federal law. This ruling, issued by Judge Reed O’Connor, has nationwide implications, blocking the enforcement of these policies across the country. Paxton also secured a preliminary injunction against an ATF rule that would criminalize the private sale of guns.
We were expecting rulings on challenges to the Biden admin Title IX Rule to come in the coming weeks—but Judge Reed O’Connor jumped the gun on those, w/ a Tuesday ruling against Title IX “guidance documents.” What’s it mean? I go through it at Law Dork: https://t.co/8xjfQgDv5e
