Speaker 1: In a major victory for female athletes yesterday, the US Supreme Court ruling that states may ban so-called transgender athletes as an male athletes from competing on girls sports teams. The court upholding laws enacted by Idaho and West Virginia those protections do not violate Title IX or the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection. The Title IX portion of the decision was unanimous, with all nine justices agreeing the landmark civil rights law permit schools to maintain separate male and female sports teams based on biological sex. The justices dividing six to three along ideological lines on the constitutional question of whether those bans unfairly discriminate against so-called transgender students, with the court's three-member members dissenting. President Trump who made protecting women's sports a centerpiece of his campaign, celebrating the decision on truth social, writing, big win, the United States Supreme Court just ruled against men playing in women's sports. Wow, that takes the ridiculous situation off the table. The ruling does not impose one nationwide policy, instead confirming that states may enact bans without violating federal law. CVS News Chief Legal Correspond Jan Crawford explaining that the ruling protects state bans. without requiring other states to adopt them. 27 states have these bans more than half. Two others allow, I mean ban it by policy and today the court said that those bans did not violate the Constitution or federal law, Title IX, that landmark legislation from 1972 that really leveled the playing field for girls sports. That states were free to ban, you know, transgender athletes from participating in girls sports if that's what they chose to do. Now other states of course like California New York and others allow transgender athletes to participate and they can continue to do that. The court made clear that they're not addressing those states. There's been some lawsuits challenging that participation. They're not deciding that issue. They're going to allow those states to continue to allow transgender participation. But the state is the court said it's entirely reasonable. The decision leaving several major legal fights unresolved. challenges to policies in California, Connecticut, and Minnesota that allow boys to compete on girls' teams. Liberal officials across the country decrying the ruling. In Minnesota, state attorney general Keith Ellison posting to ex-quote to every transgender Minnesotan, you belong here. This decision does not change Minnesota law or our commitment to protecting LGBTQ plus people. Today's rulings remind us that defending the rule of law also means defending the rights and dignity of every person. Massachusetts Governor. Mora Healy,
