    This guy sits in Amarillo. Normally when you file a lawsuit in federal court your case is assigned to a judge by random lottery. But Amarillo only has one judge, so the lottery always comes up with this guy.

    This is the same man that tried to ban mifepristone nationwide based on the Comstock Act.

    This seems to go against a pretty recent SC precedent authored by Gorsuch.

    I bet it’s a universal nationwide injunction too, the kind the SC was just talking about limiting yesterday.

    Edit:

    Ultimately, Judge Kacsmaryk ordered the complete removal of all references to sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes under Title VII from EEOC guidance. His ruling declares that “all language defining ‘sex’ in Title VII to include ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’” must be stripped…

    Yep. Universal nationwide injunction and directly contradicts the holding from Bostock.
