Today, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases concerning efforts by Idaho and West Virginia to enforce state laws banning transgender athletes from female sports teams at public schools. Why it matters: A ruling upholding the state laws could ripple beyond athletics, determining the validity of a wide array of laws and policies that limit the rights of transgender people, according to legal experts. The Trump administration is backing Idaho and West Virginia. Context: The states are appealing lower court decisions siding with transgender students who sued. Twenty-seven states, most of them Republican-governed, have passed laws in recent years restricting participation in sports by transgender people. Read more about the cases here. Who: Idaho Solicitor General Alan Hurst for the state; West Virginia Solicitor General Michael Williams for the state; Principal Deputy Solicitor General Hashim Mooppan for the U.S. as amicus curiae; Kathleen Hartnett of Cooley for the Idaho respondent; Joshua Block of Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco for the West Virginia respondent. |

- Immigration: U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns in Boston will consider whether the failure by the Trump administration to comply with a court order that would have blocked the deportation of a 19-year-old college student to Honduras rises to the level of civil contempt.
- Bellwether trial: A trial will begin today before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in Phoenix in what will be the first test of Uber's efforts to shield itself from liability for alleged assaults committed by its drivers, with thousands of cases pending in U.S. federal court.

Oakley, meanwhile, is seeking to disqualify Randy Mastro, the former first deputy mayor of New York City, from representing MSG in the lawsuit.

"You're right, obviously, that 'relating to' is very broad, but it's hard to see where you stop. I mean, is it a butterfly effect? You know, the butterfly flaps its wings and has the end result halfway around the world."
