Fox News reports on the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Idaho and West Virginia laws, effectively banning biological males from participating in girls' sports.

Constitutional law attorney Jonathan Turley and chief legal correspondent Shannon Bream explain that the ruling aligns with the view that transgender status is not a protected class like race or religion, leaving the decision to individual states.

Three Republican senators filed an amendment Thursday aimed at preventing the Protect College Sports Act from overriding state laws that bar biological males from competing in women’s athletics.

Josh Hawley of Missouri, Jim Banks of Indiana and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama are trying to close what they see as a loophole in the Protect College Sports Act.
