His side has been suing based a deprivation of his 8th amendment rights, as they apply whether you're in behind bars or on the outside working to support them

well how about the family of the victim who's life he ended? Don't they have a say whether or not this POS has any grounds to sue?, as far as I can see, he gave up any amendment rights when he killed another person. there are people dying for our freedoms all the time, and this piece of trash wants a sex change, well boo hoo, and shame on his lawyers for enabling this huge waste of taxpayer money fighting it and clogging up the courts. He should do us all a favor and just end his own useless life.

what happened to common sense

Well I agree that this is NOT appropriate. However, our Federal Judge, who has been an advocate for this piece of work for 12 years, disagrees.

Here is the 126 page ruling,

The guy was a doctor. He killed his own wife. Make him pay for the operation. If I'm not covered for anything I get to pay. Give him a dull butterknife and some tylenol. Eff him.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Well it is tax deductible.

I really don't know much about the circumstances of this situation, but I do wonder why the sex change became necessary once this person was sentenced to life imprisonment, and further why a judge would rule the state responsible for the expense. Aren't there far more compelling social needs in the state?
