joining me now, ken dilanian at the supreme court and former u.s. attorney, barbara mcquaid. go? what do you infer from the arguments as to which way this might go? >> reporter: well, andrea, it was so interesting. the legal question in this case is whether the tennessee law violates the constitution's equal protections provisions by discriminating on the basis of sex. and a number of conservative justices appear to be skeptical of that idea. if they rule that it does do that, it would have to go back to the lower courts which would apply a heightened scrutiny on this law and would require tennessee to get more justification than it has so far for why this law is a good idea. that's the legal argument. the question of the policy arguments and whether these gender affirming interventions are a good or bad idea, cause harm or do good, that also infected these arguments. it was really interesting. you had some conservative justices bringing up the fact that in europe, some countries are restricting these treatments including great britain after studies have shown there are some
