You all know what that stands for... so what earned that...

Rhode Island Hospital relinquished thousands of pages of medical records related to youth gender dysphoria treatment to a federal judge in Texas over the last five months, newly filed court documents show.

According to an Oct. 19 status report, R.I. Hospital has submitted a total of 112,647 pages of records to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas through 12 “in camera” productions conducted every two weeks since May. The most recent production was Oct. 16.

“In camera” is a Latin term that translates to “in chambers,” meaning the judge must review the records without any members of the press or public present. It is usually invoked to protect the subjects’ privacy.

WTF does Texas need medical records from Rhode Island for perfectly legal procedures? Here in Connecticut that would be a violation of Connecticut law!

Shortly afterward, the American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island and attorneys with the Lawyers’ Committee for Rhode Island filed an emergency motion on behalf of the state’s Office of the Child Advocate to quash the DOJ’s order. They described it as an “unprecedented intrusion” into patient privacy and accused the Trump administration of using it as part of a “coordinated campaign” to deny the existence of gender identity, strip rights from transgender people and eliminate access to gender dysphoria care.

This is nothing more than a fishing expedition!

The Rhode Island judge used the law and quashed the subpoena but... in another federal they didn't so now...

Although McElroy quashed the subpoena, O’Connor found her ruling only blocked the DOJ itself from obtaining the records. He said it did not prevent the Texas court from holding the records under seal and left the enforcement order requiring compliance in place.

Duh! WTF!

Now, two conflicting rulings involving the same administrative subpoena are being reviewed in separate federal court systems: The Fifth Circuit is reviewing the Texas order requiring enforcement, while the First Circuit is reviewing the Rhode Island order that quashed the subpoena.

Tuesday you can vote. You can vote to bring this tyranny to an end!
