The Supreme Court unanimously THROWS OUT anti-abortion activists' lawsuit against mifepristone, the first drug in medication abortion, holding that the plaintiffs never had standing to bring this case in the first place. An embarrassment for the 5th Circuit. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

A realization that there are policies so unpopular that even these yolo psychos won’t go there. Chevron, otoh, is too complicated for the rubes to grok.

And embarrassment to Kasmarack if he were capable of embarrassment.

Why did it take so long for this opinion? Should have been the first one out- a 6yo would know there was no standing they know theyve got comstock in their back pocket to take out mifepristone😡

The JustAsses on the 5th would have to have a sense of self awareness and shame to be embarrassed by their draconian actions.

I am very not cool with how often this SCOTUS opinion uses the term "pro-life" to refer to anti-abortion activists.

In the olden times of, say, 10 years ago, an embarrassment of this magnitude may have this thing called consequences. But now we get to roll our eyes until the next time these theologians with robes in Texas scheme to steal our rights

They used standing for this? But there is no need to show standing anymore, I thought. It’s all vibes.

"Embarrassment for the fifth circuit." Not possible. You have to have shame in order to feel embarrassed.

Its an election year and this was an easy case (other than for Judge K in Amarillo and the 5th Circuit). But there will be a different result when they find plaintiffs with standing, like the states that have intervened before Judge K. This is not over yet; just delayed for a year or two..

It feels to me like the GOP uses their fringes more effectively than the Dems. The Dems punch hippies with real enthusiasm, while the right contradicts their edges with a "more in sorrow than in anger" vibe. "Their hearts are in the right place"
