Texas Supreme Court upholds state ban on gender-affirming care for minors
The conservative Texas Supreme Court has upheld a state law that prohibits minors from receiving gender-affirming care, overturning a lower court ruling that deemed the ban unconstitutional. Any minors who were already receiving any type of gender-affirming care were then to be "weaned off" their medications in a "medically appropriate" manner. Related Story: What really is gender-affirming care? However, more states are pushing legislation that intends to restrict gender-affirming health care for minors, claiming it protects children from making decisions they may regret later in life. Friday's ruling is the latest in a wave of efforts from Republican-led states to target transgender health care for minors.

Supreme Court says DOJ went too far with charges against Jan. 6 rioters
The Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that federal prosecutors went too far in bringing obstruction charges against participants of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The Supreme Court sent the case back to a lower court to decide whether the charges should still stand. Trump faces two obstruction charges in a separate case — the same case the Supreme Court will soon decide on regarding the former president’s claims of immunity. Roberts added that there was not a single case against the alleged Jan. 6 rioters in which only obstruction charges were filed. What did Supreme Court justices have to say about it?

Supreme Court overturns Chevron decision, weakening regulations on environment
Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas all had questioned the Chevron decision. Judges must exercise their own authority and judgment to say what the law is, they argued to the Supreme Court. Defending the rulings that upheld the fees, President Joe Biden's administration said that overturning the Chevron decision would produce a “convulsive shock” to the legal system. Environmental, health advocacy groups, civil rights organizations, organized labor and Democrats on the national and state level had urged the court to leave the Chevron decision in place. They lost in the lower courts, which relied on the Chevron decision to sustain the regulation.

How not to conduct a National Dialogue
Regardless, the National Dialogue Commission has started collecting views on the agendaAs widely acknowledged, and I noted four years ago, national dialogue is needed. A national dialogue is supposed to be held, in essence, among participants with diverse views and competing interests. Below are some recommendations to reinvigorate the Ethiopian National Dialogue, in order of importance. There is very little chance of a successful national dialogue in the midst of raging civil wars. Once again, they are in the thick of it, backing a flawed, insincere National Dialogue.
