SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

I Read The Entire Supreme Court Conversion Therapy Case (It's Not What The Media is Telling You) I've been working on this case for almost a year now - and I figured I'd give you the ultimate guide to understanding what is evening happening with conversion therapy and the Supreme Court. In this video, I break down the law, the arguments, and what the majority, concurrence, and dissent actually say. More importantly, I explain what the case is really about—because the framing of the question changes everything.0:00 Background: Framing the Case6:54 Background: What Colorado Law Says12:07 Background: Defining Conversion Therapy20:04 Background: How the Case Got Here26:37 Background: First Amendment Basics32:33 Background: How SCOTUS Decisions Work43:29 Majority: Strict Scrutiny Explained47:27 Majority: What Therapy Really Is51:06 Majority: Parsing Colorado Law54:39 Majority: Speech Versus Conduct55:17 Majority: Facial V As Applied Challenge58:34 Majority: Black Swan Analogy1:02:11 Majority: No Perfect Precedent Fits1:10:48 Majority: Bad Citations And Categories1:14:01 Majority: Lawyers Cases Aren't Therapy1:16:41 Majority: NIFLA Case Breakdown1:20:24 Majority: Viewpoint Discrimination Claim1:21:38 Majority: Orientation Versus Behavior1:24:09 Majority: Religion Not The Issue1:25:06 Majority: NIFLA1:28:30 Majority: Professional Speech Limits1:29:39 Majority: Viewpoint Discrimination Claim1:36:28 Majority: Speech Versus Conduct1:38:54 Majority: Informed Consent Analogy1:45:59 Majority: Licensing Tradition Debate1:56:51 Majority: Therapy Is Medical Treatment2:05:16 Majority: Licensing And What’s Still Allowed2:08:38 Majority: Consent Power Dynamics2:10:28 Majority: When Actions Are Speech2:13:57 Majority: Majority Logic Breakdown2:19:23 Majority: Medical Consensus Hypothetical2:23:51 Colorado Strategy Failures2:32:28 Concurrence: Viewpoint Claim2:36:46 Concurrence: Not A Mirror Image2:40:54 Dissent: Jackson’s Framework2:48:19 Dissent: Harms Of Conversion Therapy2:52:42 Dissent: Why Minors Need Protection2:52:56 Dissent: Fraud Not Free Speech2:53:27 Dissent: What The Law Actually Bans2:54:37 Dissent: Allowed Goals And Counseling2:55:15 Dissent: Transition And Detransition Clarified2:56:49 Dissent: Speech Versus Treatment Conduct2:59:00 Dissent: Case Law And Student Speech3:02:30 Dissent: NLA Versus Casey Breakdown3:07:18 Dissent: Words As Medical Treatment3:11:32 Dissent: Defining Professional Medical Speech3:15:22 Dissent: Standards Of Care And Viewpoints3:23:38 Dissent: History Of Licensing And Malpractice3:32:37 Dissent: Majority Plays With Fire3:39:04 Dedication And Final ThoughtsTo join our discord community for $1 or to support my work/get early access to content, check out my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/gayextradTo be a guest on the episode, visit my YT channel and send me an email.
