Gary Bauer's End of Day Report

01-13-2026
The atmosphere outside the Supreme Court today was “electric” as it once again became a critical battleground in America’s culture war. Dueling demonstrations took place outside the court, while inside the justices heard oral arguments on a major transgender controversy: Do boys and men claiming to be girls and women have a right to compete in female sports? Common sense and biology say “NO!” The American people have said “NO!” But the battle rages on because the LGBTQ movement and its supporters in the Democrat Party refuse to back down. How this case is decided will tell us a lot about where the justices stand on the larger list of LGBTQ public policy demands. Scores of amicus briefs have been filed that also show the deep divided between the two political parties.
