This text provides an overview of several cases currently on the Supreme Court's docket and their potential significance. It begins by discussing a Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for transgender kids, which the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld and the Supreme Court is likely to agree with. The second case involves an age-verification law in Texas that restricts access to pornography for adults, and the outcome of this case is uncertain. The third case focuses on Richard Glossip, a man on death row seeking to have his conviction overturned based on new evidence, and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court makes the outcome uncertain. The text also explores the power of the Supreme Court as a policymaking body and the potential impact of the upcoming election on the court's composition and decisions. [Extracted from the article]
