In the final three major decisions of the Supreme Court's term, the same 6-3 partisan-divide, conservative majority ended affirmative action, wrote an exemption into non-discrimination laws, and struck down a major Biden administration policy to relieve student loan debt.

The ruling finds that plaintiffs lacked standing as to the surgery ban, so those provisions of the Tennessee law are not enjoined by this lawsuit.

US District Judge David Hale, an Obama appointee, left no doubt about the scope of this preliminary injunction: It is a "facial injunction," barring the state from enforcing the new law's puberty blocker and testosterone bans at all, against anyone.
