- NCLA’s amicus brief will ensure that the Ninth Circuit sees the arguments that prevailed before Judge William Shubb in the Eastern District of Calif. in Høeg v. Newsom.
- Physicians in California cannot possibly know what the scientific consensus is at any given moment, making them fearful of being honest with patients.
- The law’s vagueness also infringes California physicians’ Fourteenth Amendment right to due process of law.
- The Høeg court called this provision “grammatically incoherent.” The law, as written, does not provide a discernible standard by which doctors can operate medical practices and treat patients.
