Short version: Republicans don’t want to concede the 2024 elections already now.

The ultimate solution is to elect more Democrats and get abortion access onto ballots around the country. It’s not over.

Let’s be clear though - access to medication abortion should never have been threatened in the first place.

@TonyStark I feel 100% confident that if American democracy survives this period, our judicial system of the era will be seen as not just laughably horrid but criminally negligent.

@statmonkey I miss the days where there was at least an illusion of impartiality on the SCOTUS. It’s just a tool of the right now. Only the unlikely scenario of Roberts growing a conscience would have an impact in the near term.

If they felt it should stay in the states, this should have been an easy decision. They kicked the can down the road and the 2 worst on there still dissented.

@TonyStark @statmonkey The Roberts court has been most consistent that it doesn't like nationwide temporary injunctions. This District Judge in Texas thought he'd be clever and not call his nationwide temporary injunction an "injunction". I don’t think the majority appreciated the attempt to circumvent their very clear instructions.
