Outside Legal Counsel attorney Philip L. Ellison has issued the following statement regarding the Sixth Circuit's June 25, 2025 decision:The Sixth Circuit’s ruling is a profound rejection of the rights of parents to make serious decisions about their own children's medical tests and extracted medical data. The decision vacating Judge Ludington's well-reasoned decision after a five-day trial places decision-making solely in the unaccountable hands of bureaucrats instead of moms and dads - and that is wrong. Our law office will vigorously pursue an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. This constitutional challenge will continue and I stand resolute in defending the rights of all parents everywhere.
