Supreme Court hears landmark transgender athletes case

Season 2026 Episode 13 | 7m 21s

A hotly debated political issue made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. At issue is whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sports. The conservative majority seemed skeptical of striking down bans already in place in over half of all states. Liz Landers has a closer look at the legal and political fight before the nation’s highest court.
