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)

Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson’s opinion, concurring in part & dissenting in part, begins on p8.

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.

@Nonilex It feels like a really good opportunity to talk about how the timing of the decision is intentional and politically motivated just like this leak and this decision was.

If the court can leak this to save the GOP candidates it wants to protect, it sure as hell could have told us their decision on Trump's immunity already and the choice to wait is transparently political.
