It does feel like the biggest cases are ones that will directly implicate children’s interests.

— Aaron Tang, a law professor at the University of California, Davis, in comments given to CNN, on the high-profile cases that the Supreme Court will decide before its “teenager term” is up, including a challenge to a TikTok ban set to take effect in mid-January, whether a ban on transgender care for minors should be upheld, and if the FDA’s decision to limit access to vaping products may stand. Spencer Rahim, also a high school junior from Virginia, had this to say of the high court: “They need to listen to the people a little bit more.”
