⚖️ SCOTUS waiting game
 
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.axios.com%

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has no plans to retire, people close to him tell The Wall Street Journal.

  • Some conservatives have questioned whether Alito, 74, or Justice Clarence Thomas, 76, will/should step aside once Trump takes office so younger conservative justices can be appointed.

💡 Our thought bubble, from Axios court watcher Sam Baker: The beginning of a new president's term isn't necessarily the time you'd expect to see a strategic retirement.

  • If Republicans look likely to lose the Senate majority two years from now, or if momentum is swinging toward Democrats in 2028, pressure on Alito and Thomas could grow.
  • But Republicans simply aren't in the same situation Democrats were in when the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused to step aside.
  • Alito and Thomas are younger, healthier and more powerful within the court than Ginsburg was. Conservatives have a solid majority and plenty of time to pass the torch if they decide they need to.

Supreme Court seems likely to uphold Tennessee’s ban on medical treatments for transgender minors

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hearing a high-profile culture-war clash, the Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed likely to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-transgender-health-tennessee-3fd2de125caeac6e323bd81ef7271837?

 

Transgender care

The Supreme Court appeared likely to endorse a divisive Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for minors after more than two hours of oral arguments on Wednesday. The case — US v. Skrmetti — could determine whether states can restrict puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender children and teens. A decision is expected by July 2025. During the arguments, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she was "suddenly quite worried" and "nervous" about conservatives' arguments in the controversy. Republican lawmakers who support the ban say decisions about care should be made after an individual becomes an adult. Opponents argue that in addition to violating the civil rights of trans youth, the laws also run afoul of parents' rights to make decisions about their child's medical care.

🕺 Supreme Court's TikTok dance

President-elect Trump's last-minute effort to give TikTok a stay of execution is one more twist in a case that already scrambles every ideological dividing line, Axios court watcher Sam Baker writes.

  • The court is set to hear oral arguments tomorrow over TikTok's future. A new, overwhelmingly bipartisan law requires the app's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to either sell TikTok by Jan. 19 or shut it down within the U.S.

State of play: Republicans in Congress supported the law, which President Biden signed, and GOP attorneys general have weighed in to help Biden defend the law in court.

  • Trump previously advocated for a ban, then flip-flopped. He filed an amicus brief on Dec. 27 urging the court to pause the law.

Between the lines: The conservative Supreme Court usually (but not always) sides with people making First Amendment claims. And it usually (but not always) sides with the federal government when the government says there's a national-security issue.

  • In this case, it won't be able to do both.
