Were those pills banned in the late 19th century? Were any pills banned at all?

So not satisfied with practicing medicine w/o training or a license the SCOTUS is now going to be acting as trained pharmacists?
Too bad my laptop is in a repair shop or I’d share a kitty picture. My ancient cat, 20 yrs young got a house visit from the vet two days ago. This cat has high blood pressure and an over active thyroid. But blood work came back normal as was his blood pressure. I must be doing his meds correctly. He was pissed at me for the intrusion into his world by strangers who assaulted him ( in his mind a bp cuff on the tail is assault). His world is our bedroom/ bathroom and his escape proof outside cat porch off the bedroom. He doesn’t want anything else.

Oh my, so much to burn down in one case, both the government’s ability to regulate drugs AND a women’s access to reproductive health care.
I wonder how this will go? /snark

Well at least we can be confident in the SCOTUS having reasonable, wise jurists instead of a bunch of crazy sociopaths.
Oh wait…

And a 18 USC 1512 case that could (but probably won’t) overturn a bunch of J6 convictions and could fuck with trump’s J6 trial.

Isn’t justice a wonderful thing? I can see why that statue of the lady holding the double pan balance is blindfolded.

it will take up two cases related to the accessibility of the abortion drug mifepriston
Does this mean that they will hear the cases as “normal” cases or did they come in via the “shaddow docket”?

Before everyone panics too hard about the mifepristone case, recall that SCOTUS already slapped down Judge Kacsmaryk and the Fifth Circuit once or twice before over their bullshit on this case. This is the first time they’re hearing it on the merits, but the previous lifting of their stays does not indicate SCOTUS is just dying to play along on this. And the drug industry is not happy about judges cancelling their FDA-approved products.

Getting FDA approval is no simple task as I am well aware.

The 1512 issue is a real one. None of the three judges on the panel at the D.C. Circuit settled on the same interpretation of it. Worst case scenario – which I think is unlikely to be adopted – is that the obstruction of the official proceeding has to be accomplished via documents. That would wipe out a lot of J6 felony convictions. There’s also an issue of what “corruptly” means in the statute. I think that one’s less of a problem. So overall, I’m not too worried about the case, but you never know.
