Acc/to Bloomberg, #SCOTUS’ ruling would dismiss the case as “improvidently granted,” meaning that after oral argument, the justices found problems w/resolving the issue.

It is extremely rare — perhaps unprecedented — for a #SupremeCourt ruling to be posted on the court’s website before the ruling is issued, & it is possible that the document that was posted could differ from the opinion when it is announced.

“The Court’s Publications Unit inadvertently & briefly uploaded a document to the Court’s website,” spox Patricia McCabe said in a statement. “The Court’s opinion in Moyle v. United States & #Idaho v. United States will be issued in due course.”

The version of the opinion inadvertently posted Wednesday may not be the final decision.

The decision would reinstate a lower court order that had ensured #hospitals in #Idaho could perform #EmergencyAbortions to protect the #health of the mother. The briefly posted version indicated the majority will dismiss appeals by Idaho & #Republican leaders in the state without resolving the core issues in the case.

Here is a copy of the *accidentally* posted #SCOTUS ruling on #MoyleVUnitedStates - the case on whether an #Idaho #abortion #law conflicts w/ the federal Emergency Medical Treatment & Active Labor Act (#EMTALA)

Prof Melissa Murray commented that this ultra #RightWing #SCOTUS may be aware of the fact that their #Dobbs decision had an enormous impact on the 2022 elections & not in favor of their preferred candidates, & so they are hoping to temper that same effect on the #2024election by seeming more moderate on #abortion. Which would be crazy #unethical. Basing decisions on #politics not #law.

Also, w/this accidental leak, the country isn’t talking about them procrastinating on #Trump’s #immunity case.

From #SCOTUS Justice Jackson’s opinion:

“We cannot simply wind back the clock to how things were before the Court injected itself into this matter. Our intervention has already distorted this litigation process. We permitted #Idaho's #law to go into effect by staying the District Court's injunction in the first place, then allowed this matter to sit on our #merits docket for 5 months while we considered the question presented.

“It is too little, too late for the Court to take a mulligan & just tell the lower courts to carry on as if none of this has happened. 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.”

“We have granted certiorari & heard argument. We have had ample opportunity to consider the issues. The parties were well represented on both sides, & dozens of amici have weighed in.…The necessary #legal reasoning is straightforward, & the answer to the question presented is…clear: #IdahoLaw prohibits what #FederalLaw requires, so…under the #SupremacyClause, #Idaho's #law is pre-empted.…There is simply no good reason not to resolve this conflict now.”
