The Supreme Court is making waves with two big cases. One is about transgender athletes in women's sports. The other is about tariffs from the Trump era.

Transgender Athletes in Sports

In Idaho and West Virginia, there are laws stopping transgender girls and women from joining girls' or women's sports teams. The Supreme Court is thinking about these laws. A former U.S. attorney, John Fishwick, thinks the conservative justices might support these bans. He said they seem to want states to decide on this issue.

Trump-Era Tariffs Under Scrutiny

But it's not just about sports. The Court is also looking at tariffs. These are taxes on imports. Former President Trump put these tariffs in place using emergency powers. Fishwick thinks the Court might say these tariffs are not legal. He said the Court might rule against Trump on this issue.

Waiting for Decisions

The Court's decisions could take months. So, we'll have to wait and see what happens. These cases show how the Supreme Court can influence many parts of life, from sports to trade.
