Yeah, so I definitely think the Trump administration is doing the Supreme Court a real solid just by drowning out coverage of what they might be up to because the court has a bunch of big cases on their docket. So there's the gender-affirming care ban that you noted, United States v. Scrimeti. That's about whether laws that ban gender-affirming care trigger violence.

Because if the Supreme Court says laws that ban gender-affirming care don't discriminate on the basis of sex... and don't discriminate on the basis of gender identity, then laws that restrict that care for adults would also get super deferential review. So yeah, that case could be hugely significant. And then they have the religion in schools cases.
