In five years the Roberts Family will be completely legitimate

Looks like Roberts will have to pretend to run another investigation to find the real leaker:

The Supreme Court would allow emergency abortion care in Idaho for nowdespite the state’s restrictions on the procedure, according to a copy of a not-yet-released opinion posted by Bloomberg Law after it briefly appeared on the court’s website Wednesday.

The decision, which has not been announced by the court, would mean that hospitals could perform emergency abortions to stabilize patients without being subject to prosecution under Idaho’s abortion ban. It would be at least a temporary victory for the Biden administration, which has struggled to protect abortion access since the high court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

According to a copy of the opinion, the court’s ruling would reinstate a lower court decision that had allowed emergency abortion care while litigation continues. The court had paused that lower court ruling months ago, in an emergency action, before hearing arguments in the case in April.

I agree that the decision to temporarily prevent Idaho from nullifying federal law to impose abortion bans in particular bad and unpopular cases without holding without yet determining the question on the merits is very politically convenient:

Republicans on the Court probably doing their party a solid by not paring back abortion rights 4 months before the general election, while also not enraging their coalition by striking down the Idaho law. https://t.co/I9GJP0CGxR— Josh Chafetz (@joshchafetz) June 26, 2024

Kagan concurred in part in order to note that Sam Alito (dissenting with Thomas and Gorsuch) is once again being a lawless psycho:

I wish I could be confident that his views won’t ultimately prevail when the Court actually reaches the question.
