Supreme Court Term Includes Key Cases on Discrimination and Gun Laws

The upcoming Supreme Court term will address important cases related to discrimination and gun laws. One case involves whether individuals claiming discrimination under Title VII must prove material employment disadvantage rather than just dignitary harm. This could impact bans on domestic abusers possessing firearms. Another case tackles bans on gender-affirming care for trans youths, with the potential to stigmatize and limit access to necessary medical care. In addition, a case on racial gerrymandering in South Carolina could undermine voting rights, while a Second Amendment case challenges bans on possession for domestic abusers. These cases collectively reflect the ongoing battle to define who is protected and recognized as a person in our society.
