  • Supreme Court Weighs Transgender Case Broader Impact

    Supreme Court Weighs Transgender Case Broader Impact
    Dec 6 2024
    Justices on both sides of the US Supreme Court’s ideological line seemed concerned about a future ruling on gender-affirming care for minors reaching far beyond Tennessee and transgender kids. Whether an appeals court erred in how it scrutinized the constitutionality of state laws that purport to discriminate against people based on their sex was a central part of Dec. 4 arguments in United States v. Skrmetti. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler take listeners through the arguments in the Biden administration’s fight against Tennessee’s ban on hormone treatments and puberty blockers for transgender minors and what the justices’ questions, or lack thereof, signal for the outcome of the case.

  • High Court Vaping Case Tests FDA's Regulatory Powers

    High Court Vaping Case Tests FDA's Regulatory Powers
    Nov 22 2024
    A case testing the federal government's ability to regulate potentially harmful tobacco products will kick off arguments at the US Supreme Court in December. The Biden Administration is fighting to keep off the market new liquids for e-cigarettes sold under flavors like "Blackberry Lemonade" and "Killer Kustard Blueberry" that can attract kids in its appeal of a US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decision to set aside the Food and Drug Administration's orders denying their approval. Typically, the court doesn't agree to hear a case "to pat the lower court on the head and say, 'Really good job,'" said Carter Phillips, a partner at Sidley Austin who's argued 90 cases before the justices. But, he said, "this is a court that is much more skeptical of agency decision-making than the court has ever been, at least in the time that I've been practicing before it." Phillips joins “Cases and Controversies” hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler to talk about the case and why his client, the nonprofit Global Action to End Smoking Inc., is supporting neither side in this dispute,.
