Take note of the difference between SCOTUS and SCOTX. Iâm referring to the latter.

Think of it, though. The liberal pundits were saying last night that the Texas statute was actually an economic one, because the wealthier residents could always fly to another state to get the necessary procedure (for example, if husband Billy Bob impregnated the daughter). However, under the âaiding and abettingâ definition, is the pilot of the plane that transported the patient elsewhere liable to suit? If the Uber driver is liable, why not the pilot? A few of these and weâll see how long the statute can carry its weight.

They didnât win anything meaningful in that elections bill. Itâs nothing more than redressing Trumpâs dumb 2020 voting procedure grievances.

No, the SCOTUS didnât say the Texas law was OK. They said there wasnât enough for an injunction, and specifically said they werenât ruling on the merits or constitutionality of the Texas law:
In reaching this conclusion, we stress that we do not purport to resolve definitively any jurisdictional or substantive claim in the applicantsâ lawsuit. In particular, this order is not based on any
conclusion about the constitutionality of Texasâs law, and in
no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the
Texas law, including in Texas state courts.

Anyone heard anything from Gov. Abbott?

Sheesh, if youâre going to go there, go there.
If itâs a black or brown mother, courts, judges, police officers and prison staff would claim standing for lost potential future earnings.

Yeah, they whiffed on it. I think this isnât the case they want to base an overturn of Roe on, and thereâs a hint in the ruling that theyâd like to see it decided (and overturned) in the Texas court system.

No, because the civil cause of action refers to aiding and abetting an abortion prohibited by the statute. The statute does not prohibit any abortion that occurs outside Texas, so there canât be any aiding or abetting liability for helping someone obtain one.

Hmm. The Popehat asks a question about the AntiSLAPP laws in Tx as it pertains to the bounty hunting provision of the new law.

They didnât let it go forward if they donât intend to let it be upheld later. Enjoining it now would be the proper and long-standing precedent to avoid the disruption that implementing it causes.
