Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn opined that the Supreme Court is unlikely to support President Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports. The order threatens funding for programs allowing trans women to compete, citing safety and fairness. Urbahn referenced a Supreme Court ruling affirming that gender identity discrimination is illegal, suggesting this precedent creates challenges for the administration's stance. Although Urbahn acknowledges the potential for the Court to review the case, she predicts unfavorable outcomes for proponents of the ban.
Urbahn explained why the Trump administration may not be able to overcome a legal challenge to the executive order because of precedent from a previous case.
Urbahn highlighted a decision by the Supreme Court that found protected sex includes gender identity, meaning discrimination based on gender identity is illegal.
Conservatives were upset by the decision since they feared its implications for girls' sports, which likely influenced the dissenting opinions from certain justices.
Despite ongoing legal challenges, Urbahn does not foresee the Supreme Court siding with the girls on the issue of transgender athletes in women's sports.
