Overview
- In back-to-back arguments, a conservative majority appeared inclined to uphold Idaho’s and West Virginia’s restrictions in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.
- Justice Brett Kavanaugh framed school sports as a zero-sum arena where a transgender girl’s roster spot can displace another athlete, underscoring fairness concerns.
- Chief Justice John Roberts questioned whether sex-based team classifications equate to transgender discrimination under Bostock, suggesting a limit to that precedent in sports.
- Deputy Solicitor General Hashim Mooppan urged a narrow decision, with justices considering whether to leave fights over permissive state policies for future cases.
- Lindsay Hecox has asked to dismiss her case as moot, the Court deferred that request, and rulings expected by June or early July could affect similar laws in roughly half the states.
