  • Conservative justices voiced objections and concerns about the court's failures to take up a series of cases on major social controversies.

The Supreme Court is set to address several pivotal cases in its upcoming term, focusing on issues like gender identity, gun rights, and admissions policies. One significant case involves a challenge to a Tennessee law that restricts medical treatments for transgender youth, potentially setting a precedent for transgender healthcare rights nationwide. Another case examines the scope of Second Amendment rights, questioning whether individuals under domestic violence restraining orders should be prohibited from possessing firearms. Additionally, the court will review admissions policies at selective public high schools, following a previous ruling against race-based affirmative action in college admissions, which could influence how schools achieve diversity. These cases underscore the court's role in shaping national policy on deeply divisive issues.
