In this episode of Passing Judgment, we delve into the Supreme Court's current term with Lindsay Whitehurst from the Associated Press. Jessica Levinson and Lindsay discuss three significant cases: a Tennessee law on transgender minors' access to gender-affirming care (Skirmiti), regulations on ghost guns, and flavored e-cigarettes. They explore the implications of these cases, potential judicial leanings, and the role of presidential administrations in legal arguments.
Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:
Transgender Rights in Healthcare: A case involving the access of gender-affirming care for minors, which touches on parental rights and the role of the state in healthcare decisions.
Ghost Guns and Federal Regulations: A significant case about the regulation of untraceable homemade firearms and the broader implications for federal agency powers.
