Ah, the sacred principles of federalism and standing:

The Texas judge who previously halted approval of the nation’s most common method of abortion ruled Thursday that three states can move ahead with another attempt to roll back federal rules and make it harder for people across the U.S. to access the abortion drug mifepristone.

Idaho, Kansas and Missouri requested late last year to pursue the case in federal court in Amarillo, Texas, after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a narrow ruling finding that abortion opponents who first filed the case lacked the legal right to sue.

The only federal judge based in Amarillo is Matthew Kacsmaryk, a nominee of former President Donald Trump who in recent years ruled against the Biden administration on several issues, including immigration and LGBTQ protections.

The “moderate” rhetoric the political press took at face value notwithstanding, Trump would sign any abortion ban Congress put on his desk, although they probably don’t have to votes for it given their narrow majorities. But there’s a lot they can do to obstruct abortion access in every state using lawless hacks in the judicial and executive branches, and they most certainly will.
