[U] Justice Alito Keeps The Texas / Matthew Kacsmaryk's Abortion Pill Ruling "In Time-Out" Until Midnight Friday Night...

Updated 04.21.2023 @ 7 pm Eastern -- the time out is now permanent until the Supremes rule on any future appeal out of the Fifth Circuit. End update.

The Justices continue to discuss next steps.

Will they simply strike Matthew Kacsmaryk's crazy opinion, and/or the only slightly less cray-cray Fifth Circuit one. . . or wait (continue the stay for weeks or months) to hear more argument?

No sensible person is betting they will let the trial court opinion take effect. Here's the latest:

. . .UPON FURTHER CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants, the response, and the reply filed thereto,

IT IS ORDERED that the stay issued on April 14, 2023, is hereby extended until 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on Friday, April 21, 2023.

/s/ Samuel A. Alito, Jr.

Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States

Dated this 19th day of April 2023. . . .

Now you know. Onward.
