SCOTUS to Review Key Cases on Holocaust, Vaping, Transgender Rights

 December 2, 2024

The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to tackle a diverse array of high-profile cases in the coming days.

Key legal battles over Holocaust reparations, vaping regulations, and transgender healthcare are on the high court's docket, as Just the News reports.

The court reconvenes on Dec. 2, following a two-week recess, to address these significant issues.

Holocaust Survivors' Continuing Legal Struggle

A notable case on the agenda involves Holocaust survivors seeking justice against Hungary for wartime atrocities.

This legal battle focuses on compensation linked to the deportation of over 400,000 Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in 1944.

This marks the second time the Supreme Court will hear the Holocaust survivors' case against Hungary and its state-run railways, highlighting the ongoing quest for reparations.

Debate Over Flavored E-cigarettes

Another major case concerns the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to deny marketing applications for flavored e-cigarettes.

The case, Food and Drug Administration v. Wages and White Lion Investments, challenges the FDA's strategy aimed at curbing smoking among minors.

Previous rulings from lower courts have supported the FDA's stance, upholding the ban on flavored vaping products.

Contentious Issue of Transgender Healthcare in Tennessee

The Supreme Court will also review United States v. Skrmetti, involving a Tennessee law that restricts gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

The Biden administration has criticized this law, labeling it as discriminatory.

Attorneys for Tennessee argue that the law is a justified regulation on drug prescriptions.

“It is not unconstitutional discrimination to say that drugs can be prescribed for one reason but not another," they explained.

They emphasize the state's authority to make age- and use-based distinctions concerning medications.

Additional Legal Challenges to Come

The court's busy schedule also includes a case related to bankruptcy law, though specifics of the controversy are less prominent compared to the others on the docket.

With a range of cases that span historical injustices to modern public health issues, the Supreme Court's decisions could have wide-reaching impacts.

Legal experts and the public alike await the outcomes of each of these key matters.

The resolution of the cases is expected to influence American law and society for years to come.
