Chapter 1: What is the Supreme Court case about transgender medical procedures?
The Supreme Court hears a landmark case on a Tennessee law banning transgender medical procedures on children.
In the end, this case could very well turn out to be a Dobbs-style earthquake in the fight to protect children in this country.
We discuss the two sides' arguments and the stakes of the high court's ruling.
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Wednesday, December 4th, and this is Morning Wire. In a drastic move, South Korea's president declares martial law, citing threats of North Korean communist forces.
And while California's governor is vowing to resist Trump, the state saw a massive shift to the right this year, particularly on the issue of public safety.

Chapter 2: What are the arguments on both sides of the transgender medical procedures case?
Essentially, they're alleging that doctors and parents have a constitutional right to castrate, sterilize and mutilate gender confused kids. So this is not about the constitutional rights of the kids, at least from their perspective. They're saying that the doctors and parents have a constitutional right to do this to children.
Whereas us over here are saying that children have a constitutional right, a human rights, and that means that they should be protected from this kind of treatment.
Far left organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Human Rights Campaign have also planned protests outside the court this morning.
Yeah, in terms of the other side on this issue, what are we hearing from the left?
Well, groups like the ACLU are arguing that Tennessee hates so-called trans youth and wants to ban them from receiving care. And the media is really echoing a lot of those claims. The ACLU is sending a trans-identifying lawyer to argue on behalf of their case.
That lawyer's name is Chase Strangio, a woman who identifies as a man and also underwent transgender procedures to try and look more masculine. Here's Strangio explaining how she'll argue today.
Tennessee has categorically banned medical treatment for adolescents only when that treatment is prescribed in a manner that Tennessee considers inconsistent with a person's sex. So what we're arguing before the Supreme Court is that, look, this is a simple example of sex discrimination.
Now, Tennessee is battling both the ACLU and the Biden administration here. What legal arguments is Tennessee making?
Well, I'm told Scarametti's office will argue that the sex discrimination argument doesn't really make any sense since boys and girls are fundamentally different. They've also argued that it's the states who license doctors and regulate medical practices. And they've already pointed out that more than 20 other states have passed similar laws protecting kids.
