Well, yeah, they can determine whether or not a certain governmental action, for example, is in the confines of the way the law was written. OK, so it's not just is this law constitutional? It is the way the Voting Rights Act was implemented in Alabama in keeping with the original intent of the Voting Rights Act or things along those lines, too.

They hear far fewer constitutional challenges because a lot of the constitutional challenges have been adjudicated. We're still hearing new constitutional challenges. Like right now, the Supreme Court is just coming back into session and they are hearing a case this term. They work in these terms.

They start in October and they end in June and then they're done from July to September. I didn't know that. Yeah. I already didn't know. They are still hearing emergencies during the summer, but they're not hearing their regularly scheduled or what they call oral arguments. they get about 7,000 requests a year for oral arguments. Like, please take my case.

And of those 7,000 requests, they take about 80 of them. So it's a tiny percentage of the cases that make it to the Supreme Court. One of the big cases they're going to be hearing this term is about transgender medical care for minors. and whether a state banning transgender medical care for minors violates their constitutional right to be free from gender discrimination.
