Jim Risch said "“Today’s ruling is a major victory for women, fairness, and the Gem State. Idaho was the first state in the nation to ban biological men from competing in women’s sports and uphold the opportunities Title IX promised more than 50 years ago. The Supreme Court’s decision affirms those protections and the generations of women who fought for fair, equal athletics,” said Risch. “Our daughters and granddaughters deserve an even playing field, and the Supreme Court has delivered.”" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
