- The Supreme Court will permit mail orders of mifepristone during an appeal process.
- Justices Thomas and Alito dissented, questioning the legality and justification of the decision.
- The case centers on the FDA's decision to lift the in-person requirement for administering mifepristone.
- The Comstock Act's relevance to shipping abortion-inducing drugs was raised in the dissenting opinions.
The Supremes Weigh In
Folks, let me tell you, the Supreme Court—those nine people, very important people—have decided to keep allowing mail orders of mifepristone while they figure things out. It's a whole appeal thing. I always said we have the best Supreme Court justices, the best. And sometimes, they make decisions that are... interesting. Very, very interesting.
Dissent in the Ranks
Now, not everyone agrees, okay? Justice Thomas and Justice Alito, two very smart cookies, they weren't too happy about it. They wrote some very strong words, dissents they call them. Thomas even mentioned the Comstock Act, saying it might be illegal to mail this stuff. He’s right, you know? We have laws, good laws, strong laws. Some people don't like them, but we have them. The Supreme Court's decision reminds me of how important it is to keep an eye on international trade, and how we must be ready to adjust as world politics change, sometimes affecting our markets. China's Farm-to-Table Revolution Beats American Applesauce is a good example of how we must adjust to global trade pressures.
Louisiana's Fight
Louisiana, great state, is fighting this. They sued the FDA because the FDA decided you didn't need to see a doctor in person to get this drug. Look, I know a thing or two about making deals, and this deal doesn't smell right. You know, like a bad deal. We need to look at these things, folks. Very closely.
Roe v. Wade's Ghost
Remember Roe v. Wade? We ended that, remember? Big victory, tremendous victory. Now, some people are trying to go around it, trying to make it like it never happened. We can't let that happen. We just can't. It would be a disaster, the likes of which you've never seen.
Profits Over Principles?
Thomas even said that the drug companies are just complaining about lost profits. He said it's like they're upset that it's harder for them to commit crimes. Very strong words, very powerful words. And he's right, you know? It's always about the money, isn't it? Sad.
Alito's Rebuke
And Alito, he called the whole thing 'remarkable.' He said it's undermining our decision in Dobbs, which gave the states the power to decide about abortion. These people, they just don't quit, do they? It's always something. But we're fighters, folks. We're going to keep fighting.
