This! You can’t claim that someone “stole” your job or “took” your spot unless you think you were entitled to it in the first instance.

Making my way through Kagan’s dissent in Loper and it is full of zingers. The Kagan, Sotomayor, Jackson triad is swinging for the fences and laying the groundwork for reversals when the Court is no longer dominated by Justices consumed by “judicial hubris” who “grasp[ ] for power.”

I love Justice Jackson, and I want her to be my friend. From her dissent in Moyle, "As the old adage goes: The Court has made this bed so now it must lie in it—by proceeding to decide the merits of the critical pre-emption issue this case presents." This Court is so chaotic. It's ridiculous.

I am surprisingly and perhaps foolishly optimistic about how this case regarding bans on gender affirming care for adolescents will fare at the Supreme Court. I expect a bat shit dissent from Thomas and maybe Alito, but I think (hope) they’ll ultimately find the bans unconstitutional.

I was at an event recently where we talked about how our advocacy language can create confusion for folks who need abortion care and think there’s no way to get it at home, but that’s another conversation.

Actually, not bans because there are exceptions that do get used however sparingly (even TX has provided abortions post-Dobbs) and people who need them should know they exist.

I agree it’s a shit concession with broad and troubling implications but that would also be true of a decision allowing a bunch of bozos to challenge drug approvals or allowing states to trump federal law with their bullshit bans.

If the govt had not conceded on conscience what do you think that would’ve have meant for how the Court decided this case (and will decide EMTALA)?

I think that @lsepper.bsky.social is right that the govt made a huge concession by saying that EMTALA doesn’t trump conscience laws, which means we could win in EMTALA but still lose because of the expanded reach of conscience. That being said, I think we’re choosing between competing bad outcomes.

Me: I’m going to write all day today. Supreme Court: Or we could drop the opinion in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and you can spend the day talking to reporters and speculating on what this means for the EMTALA case.

Got edits back on a book chapter and one of the suggestions is that I not call the current Supreme Court majority “unhinged.” I will consider it.

PSA that IUD insertion can, dare I say should, be done with sufficient pain management so that it is not a torturous experience. Our healthcare providers need to do better because they know that they can!!

Their agenda is so deeply radical no matter how they try to gaslight us. They want to resurrect Comstock from the dead! They’ve got the Supreme Court and they’re ready to steal more rights.

Doesn’t have to be painful if your provider cares enough to avoid the pain in the first instance rather than treat it after!

Catholic hospitals came up repeatedly in the Supreme Court's EMTALA argument. This article explains the interaction between religious refusals and EMTALA and the threat of Catholic hospitals to standard-of-medical-care treatment in states with more liberal abortion laws

A divided Supreme Court? Shocking! That states want the power to ignore federal law when it comes to their radical anti-abortion agenda? Just another day in the U.SA.

Best idea I had today was to host a zoom hate watch party to listen to the argument in Moyle with about 20 other repro rights & justice folks. Being able to vent frustration and rage with a bunch of smart and funny folks committed to abortion access made the whole thing much easier to listen to!

Good for them! At least some folks at Columbia feel a responsibility to protect students’ right to protest instead of punishing them for it. We are living through wild times.

Rutgers Law is hiring a visiting clinical professor to launch our Medical-Legal Partnership clinic. This has been one of my pet projects for years, and I can't wait to see it come to fruition with the right person at the helm! Please share with aspiring clinicians!

Hawley is on the ropes with these conscience harm questions. Hanging her hat on the claim that being complicit in being involved in an abortion for removing tissue that's the same tissue you'd remove if there was a miscarriage isn't as powerful as the "ending a life" conscience claim.

Hawley does not seem prepared for this line of questioning challenging the broad relief her folks are seeking. Seems this level of insistence on getting an answer here should've been anticipated.
