Joe Biden Suffers Legal Blow in Texas
Ken Paxton celebrated a "huge win" on Wednesday after new Biden administration rules which he claimed would require states to pay for gender-affirming healthcare were put on hold by a judge.Judge Jeremy Kernodle, from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, said federal authorities are "attempting to impose a sweeping new social policy by manipulating and perverting the statutory text" which he said could cause "irreparable harm."The case was brought by the Republican-dominated states of Texas and Montana in June after the Biden administration introduced a new interpretation of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act which bans discrimination based on gender in healthcare provision.
