Chiles v. Salazar - Constitutional Challenge to Conversion Therapy Ban

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Colorado's law banning conversion therapy on minors, as applied to Ms. Chiles's talk therapy, constitutes unconstitutional viewpoint-based speech regulation under the First Amendment. The Court held that the lower courts erred by applying only rational-basis review instead of strict scrutiny. This landmark decision establishes that licensed counselors cannot be prohibited from providing talk therapy aimed at helping clients reduce unwanted same-sex attractions or explore gender identity.

US v. Tostado - Criminal Sentencing Appeal

The case affirms established precedent that in-court pronouncements control over conflicting written language.
