Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey said the decision was 'unjust and wrong' and called on Congress to pass the Equality Act.
The same judge who ruled last year that Obamacare was unconstitutional has overturned protections for transgender patients, asserting that the guidelines infringed on the religious freedoms of Christian health care providers.
It's not the first time that O'Connor has been at the center of a controversial Obamacare case. In a stunning decision in 2018, the conservative judge struck down the ACA on the grounds that its mandate requiring people to purchase health insurance was unconstitutional and that the entire law couldn't stand without it.
Democratic Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts called the decision"unjust and wrong" and framed it as another reason for Congress to pass the Equality Act.
