Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary Nomination Hangs in the Balance

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative justices have shown support for Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors during oral arguments, suggesting they may uphold the law. The case, which challenges the constitutionality of the ban, could have nationwide implications as 26 states have similar laws. The Biden administration and the ACLU argue the ban discriminates based on sex and harms transgender youth. A decision is expected in the coming months.
