So, the worst Federal Judge in the United States, Matthew Kacsmaryk, ignored long standing precedent regarding the requirements of standing for a plaintiff, and assumed facts not in evidence, and banned Mifepristone.
The 5th circuit reviewed this, and similarly assuming facts not in evidence and ignore precedent, ruled that the drug could only be used and forbade distributing the drug through the mail and lowered the time it could be prescribed from 10 weeks to 7 weeks.
Well, now the Supreme Court has issued a 5-day stay, keeping access as it is until Wednesday.
Someone in the Biden administration should start leaking to the press that there are plans to ignore a court ban on the drug. It's the only way that the 6 right-wing political whores on the court will get the message.
Justice Taney Roberts needs to understand that the court has power only to the degree that people actually do, or do not do, what it says.
The threat of Biden going all Andrew Jackson, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it," along with a dose of Roosevelt court packing is just what they need.
As to what the court will do if the "Norms Fairies" in the Democratic Party choose not to push back, they will issue a ruling banning the drug in mid November of next year, timed explicitly to minimize the impact on Republican electoral chances.
The court is deeply and nakedly corrupt, and any consideration granted their opinions under present circumstances is a stupidity.

I thought they would never overturn Roe, since it was the golden leash around the base’s necks, that kept millions voting against their self interest for decades. But they did.
The federalist society, of necessity, selects for less than the brightest bulbs.
Naah. They select for whores.
