Justice Department to ask Supreme Court to block Texas abortion ban
“The Justice Department intends to ask the Supreme Court to vacate the 5th Circuit’s stay of the preliminary injunction against Texas Senate Bill 8,” DOJ spokesperson Anthony Coley said in a statement to reporters.

.... The Supreme Court is already preparing to hear a separate case in early December surrounding a Mississippi abortion ban that represents a direct challenge to Roe, but could decide to hear the Biden administration’s challenge on Texas before that date.

1. Right...except that a ruling on the stay implies some likelihood of success on the merits

However... "the merits" in this case don't necessarily involve abortion rights. They could all be procedural.

2. Thanks,so:rights vs procedural - "procedural" could be negative w/o overturning Roe?

3. Correct

4. The morning line on a good decision coming from any of these

Courts on anything to do with abortion is really ugly.
