Todd examines the renewed debate over transgender athletes in women's sports and argues that the controversy reaches far beyond basketball because it tests whether society is willing to acknowledge basic biological reality. He focuses on Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham's defense of female competition and the backlash she faced from protesters, commentators, and others around the WNBA. Todd contrasts Cunningham's direct response with Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White's claim that she is not sufficiently educated on the science, Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve's emphasis on inclusion, and Caitlin Clark's decision to leave the issue to leagues and governing bodies. Along the way, he challenges the idea that rules protecting women's categories amount to hatred, noting that every meaningful competition necessarily establishes boundaries. His central case is that truth can be exclusionary without being hateful, that compassion does not require affirming falsehoods, and that protecting girls and women from male athletic advantages is both common sense and an act of fairness.
Craig DeRoche, President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance, discusses the growing debate over transgender athletes in women's sports, the role of Title IX, and why the issue continues to spark national controversy. https://familypolicyalliance.com/

On June 30th, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that states can bar transgender girls and women from competing on girls' and women's teams. Six to three. It's now the law in over half the country. And however you feel about that ruling, here's what we noticed in the days after it came down: almost none of the coverage actually talked to a transgender kid, or the parent raising one. It was all policy. All abstraction. It is a decision that, on paper, is about Title IX and biological sex and constitutional interpretation. But underneath all that legal language is something much more personal: real kids, real families, real teams, and real decisions about who gets to belong. And let's not forget: argued by people who've never sat across from an eight-year-old who already knows she's going to be treated differently. So we went back into our archive. A while back, we sat down with a remarkable mom, Jaime, raising a transgender daughter in Florida. And more recently, we talked with Schuyler - you might know him as Pink Manta Ray - a multiethnic Korean American trans educator, the first transgender Division 1 athlete on a men's team while at Harvard, and author of He, She, They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters. We're combining pieces of both conversations into one episode, because we think you need both things right now: Jaime's story, to feel it - and Schuyler's clarity, to know what to actually say and not say when it comes up in your own life. These aren't talking points. These are ways to simply see the humanity in each other. Please listen, and share widely. What to listen for: Intersectionality, and Schuyler's own experience growing up biracial The importance of exploring why you are who you are – for ALL of us – when it comes to gender The quick takedown of the arguments from people working to push trans women out of women's sports A bullet-pointed list of what NOT to say to transgender folks How to remind yourself of joy and a sense of thriving in the world, when it gets rough What Schuyler wants cisgender, heterosexual women to do differently, once you listen to the episode About Schuyler: Schuyler Bailar (he/him) is an educator, advocate, and bestselling author who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men's team. Originally recruited to swim for the Harvard women's team, Schuyler made the difficult choice to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being a women's NCAA Champion. His story has appeared everywhere from 60 Minutes to The Washington Post and The Ellen Show. Schuyler's tireless advocacy has earned him numerous honors, including Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Out 100. In 2023, Schuyler's critically acclaimed nonfiction bestseller became the preeminent resource on trans inclusion: He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters. Schuyler's works include his middle-grade novel Obie Is Man Enough, his online gender literacy training LaneChanger.com, and his hit podcast Dear Schuyler, including exclusive interviews with trans icons and allies like Lia Thomos, Dylan Mulvaney, Rafael de la Fuente, and many more.

In this bonus episode of Talk Law Radio, host Todd Marquardt and co-host Shannon Salmon-Haas dive headfirst into three major, headline-grabbing Supreme Court rulings that are reshaping the legal and political landscape of the United States. From intense debates on biological sex and fairness in sports to historical dives into English common law, Todd and Shannon bring both legal expertise and spirited debate to the table. Whether you lean left, lean right, or just want to know how the law impacts your daily life, this episode breaks down complex constitutional arguments into a conversation you won't want to miss. Key Topics Discussed: Transgender Athletes & Title IX: A look at the landmark case West Virginia v. B.P.J.. Todd and Shannon clash over the Balance of Due Process, Title IX regulations, and safety concerns versus inclusivity in biological female sports. The Fate of Birthright Citizenship: Tracing the law from King James I in 1603 to the 14th Amendment and the Dred Scott decision, the hosts break down Trump v. Barbara. Discover why the Supreme Court upheld that if you are born here, you are a citizen—and the real-world logistical nightmare that changing it would create. Money, Speech, and Campaign Finance: An analysis of National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission. The Supreme Court overturned a 2001 precedent to rule that political parties can now coordinate unlimited spending with candidates. Todd and Shannon square off on whether "money is speech" or if this decision puts American democracy up for sale to the highest bidder. Key Takeaways: The Constitution is a Living Debate: While Todd approaches the text from a strict originalist viewpoint, Shannon highlights how modern societal complexities challenge centuries-old frameworks. The Internet Changes the Legal Burden: A major reason the Supreme Court loosened campaign finance limits was the modern availability of online disclosure and transparency tools for voters. The Buck Stops at the Supreme Court: No matter how much tax money or legislative effort is poured into executive orders and state laws, the high court remains the final arbiter of what is constitutional.

Aughie and Nia discuss the Supreme Court decisions in Watson v RNC, National Republican Senatorial Committee v Federal Election Commission and West Virginia v BJP combined with Little v Hecox. In the first case, the Justices were asked to define "elections" in terms of mail in voting ballot acceptance. In the second, they addressed the national political parties coordinating spending with candidates. In the final two cases, combined into one decision, the Justices wrestled with questions surrounding allowing transgender female athletes to compete on women's teams.
The New Yorker contributing writer Ruth Marcus joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the Supreme Court's now concluded term and what some of the recent decisions indicate about the bench's willingness to check President Trump's use of executive power. They talk about the Court's rulings on immigration, transgender athletes, the President's authority to fire heads of independent federal agencies, and what various opinions reveal about the Republican-appointed justices' tendency to side with the Trump Administration. They also explore the Court's rejection of Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, and whether the ruling should be seen as a reassuring defense of settled law or a warning that even long-established constitutional protections may be more vulnerable than they once appeared.

The Supreme Court has ruled on birthright citizenship, transgender athletes and the flow of money in politics. Today, analysis from political scientists Sara Mitchell of the University of Iowa and Dave Peterson of Iowa State University. We discuss the power balance in Washington and what these rulings mean for Iowans. We also reflect on House leadership sending lawmakers home early, the new Iowa laws going into effect and more.
✅ Victories 1. Expansion of Presidential Power Case: Trump v. Slaughter Outcome: The Court overturned Humphrey’s Executor (a long-standing precedent). Meaning: The President now has broader authority to fire officials in independent agencies (like the FTC). Seen as strengthening Article II executive power. A related case (Trump v. Cook) ruled the opposite for the Federal Reserve, limiting presidential removal power there. This creates a partial exception, showing the Court did not fully embrace unlimited executive control. 2. Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports Case: West Virginia v. BPJ Outcome: States can restrict participation in women’s sports based on biological sex. Impact: Laws in 27 states are upheld. The Court ruled such restrictions do not violate the Equal Protection Clause or federal law. 3. Campaign Finance / Free Speech Case: NRSC v. FEC Outcome: Political parties can spend unlimited money in coordination with candidates. Impact: Expands political speech rights. Removes restrictions on party-candidate coordination. ❌ Losses 1. Birthright Citizenship Key points: The Court affirmed that such a major change cannot be done via executive action. Leaves open: Constitutional amendment Possible congressional legislation 2. Mail-in Ballots / Election Law Case: Watson v. RNC Outcome: States may count ballots received after Election Day if postmarked on time. Impact: Election rules remain state-controlled. Some states can allow extended ballot receipt windows. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday states can ban transgender girls and women from playing on girls sports teams in schools and universities. Twenty-seven states have enacted such bans. Minnesota is not one of them. As of now, transgender girls can play on girl's teams in Minnesota schools. For more on the ruling's impact, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Jess Braverman, legal director of the advocacy group Gender Justice.

This Day in Legal History: Revenue Act of 1862On this day in legal history, July 1, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Revenue Act of 1862, one of the most important financing measures of the Civil War. The Union war effort required enormous amounts of money, and Congress could no longer rely only on tariffs, loans, and traditional sources of federal revenue. The act created the Office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the direct predecessor of today's Internal Revenue Service.This new office gave the federal government an administrative structure for assessing and collecting taxes across the country. The law also expanded the federal government's role in the financial lives of ordinary Americans. It imposed a 3% tax on annual incomes between $600 and $10,000 and a 5% tax on incomes above $10,000. Although modest by modern standards, this was a major shift in American tax law because it treated income itself as a source of federal revenue.The act also included taxes on goods, licenses, businesses, and other transactions, helping create a broader national tax system. Its purpose was practical and urgent: to raise the money needed to preserve the Union. But its legal significance went beyond the battlefield. The Revenue Act of 1862 helped normalize the idea that the federal government could collect taxes directly from individuals. The Civil War income tax was later allowed to expire, but the machinery of federal tax administration had been built.Decades later, the Sixteenth Amendment would give Congress clearer constitutional authority to impose a national income tax. July 1, 1862, therefore marks a turning point in the legal history of federal taxation and the growth of national administrative power.The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship is invalid. In an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court held that children born in the United States to parents who are undocumented or only temporarily present still meet the requirements of the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause. Roberts wrote that the Constitution makes those children citizens at birth because they are born on U.S. soil and are subject to U.S. law.The executive order, signed on January 20, 2025, never took effect because federal courts blocked it while lawsuits moved forward. Earlier, the Supreme Court had limited the power of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, but the legal challenges to the order continued through class-based and case-specific proceedings.The Court's majority relied heavily on the history of birthright citizenship, including English common law, the purpose of the 14th Amendment after Dred Scott, and the 1898 decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Roberts rejected the administration's argument that citizenship should depend on whether a child's parents had permanent allegiance or domicile in the United States.Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed that the order was invalid, but he based his reasoning on federal statute rather than the Constitution. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented in different ways, arguing that the majority misread the 14th Amendment's history or failed to address important limits on birthright citizenship.Supreme Court strikes down Trump's order ending birthright citizenship | SCOTUSblogThe Supreme Court ruled that Idaho and West Virginia may enforce laws limiting girls' and women's school sports teams to athletes the states classify as biologically female. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main opinion, saying the laws do not violate Title IX or the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.The Court was unanimous that the challenged laws do not violate Title IX, but the justices split over the constitutional issue, especially as applied to Becky Pepper-Jackson, the West Virginia student at the center of one case. Kavanaugh reasoned that Title IX permits schools to have separate teams based on sex and that, when the law was enacted, “sex” referred to biological sex. He also said states have important interests in safety and competitive fairness, and that courts should not be required to create individualized exceptions for athletes who have taken puberty blockers or hormones. The decision reversed lower-court rulings that had blocked Idaho and West Virginia from enforcing their bans.Justice Clarence Thomas joined the majority and wrote separately to emphasize his view that sex is binary and biological. Justice Neil Gorsuch also wrote separately, focusing on the idea that Title IX, as a funding statute, must give schools clear notice of any conditions attached to federal money. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, agreed that West Virginia's law did not violate Title IX but dissented on the constitutional question. Sotomayor argued that the Court should have allowed more factual development on whether Pepper-Jackson, who had not gone through male puberty, was actually similarly situated to cisgender girls for athletic purposes.Court rules that states can exclude transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports teams | SCOTUSblogThe Supreme Court declined to hear Cathy Harris's appeal after lower courts allowed President Trump to remove her from the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. Harris, a Democratic member and former chair of the board, had challenged her firing under a law that limited removal of board members to cases of inefficiency, neglect, or misconduct. The Court's refusal came one day after it ruled 6-3 that similar removal protections for Federal Trade Commission members were unconstitutional. Because Merit Systems Protection Board members had nearly identical protections, Harris's case was strongly affected by that new ruling.The same appeals court decision that rejected Harris's claim also upheld Trump's firing of Gwynne Wilcox, a Democratic member of the National Labor Relations Board. The Merit Systems Protection Board is especially important because it hears appeals from federal employees who have been disciplined or fired. Harris warned that the decision weakens the board and threatens the independence of the civil service system. Her removal had temporarily left the three-member board without enough members to decide certain cases, though a later Senate confirmation restored a quorum. The ruling may also affect other lawsuits brought by officials Trump removed from independent agencies. More broadly, the decision gives the White House greater authority over agencies that were originally designed to have some protection from direct political control.After FTC ruling, US Supreme Court turns away labor board member fired by Trump | Reuters This is a public episode.

KMOX Legal Analyst Brad Young joins Megan Lynch on the heels of several high-profile Supreme Court decisions. The first was a ruling on a Pres Trump executive order on birthright citizenship, allowed under the 14th Amendment. 'I do believe this resolves the issue,' says Young. A pair of states can continue to ban transgender women from participating in sports. 'Moving forward, if a state wants to say sports are defined by your birth gender, they can do that,' says Young, but also if a state wanted to allow those few transgender athletes to compete, that would be allowed as well.

Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship under the Constitution's 14th Amendment, ruling unconstitutional President Donald Trump's Executive Order declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens; Supreme Court also rules that states may may ban transgender girls from participating in sports at publicly funded schools; U.S. House legislative business remains at a standstill with a handful of House Republicans refusing to let bills come up for debate and votes until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and restrict mail in ballots. Today those Republicans blocked the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA); Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urges oil and gas companies to lower their prices, now that the war with Iran is in the peace negotiating stage, echoing President Trump's posts, saying, 'we're watching'; First Congressional hearing today in 50 years on a former CIA program called MKUltra that experimented on human subjects with mind-control techniques and behavior-altering drugs; House passes a children's online safety bill, but it is different than what is being considered in the Senate; Rep.

Hugh Hewitt praises the ruling while pivoting quickly to celebrating Kavanaugh's concurrence encouraging Congress to pass a law restricting birthright citizenship. Hawk responds by noting that Congress cannot even get all Republican votes for the Save Act, let alone pass a constitutional amendment. Lisa Rubin analyzes Kavanaugh's partial dissent in detail, with Hawk describing Kavanaugh as the kid in class who always needs to be different for attention. Mike Johnson responds to the ruling live on air, with Hawk pointing out that the plain language of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause leaves no wiggle room for the executive order Trump signed on day one. Hawk reads from Clarence Thomas's dissent, which refers to the subjects of the 14th Amendment as the freed blacks, a phrase Hawk finds telling given that Thomas cannot bring himself to write the words Black Americans. Hawk also addresses Stephen Miller's public statement calling this the worst Supreme Court decision ever made, and fact-checks Trump's immediate claim that the United States is the only country in the world with birthright citizenship by noting that 33 countries on every continent have it.
