On #mifepristone, four possible results from #SCOTUS today:
1) Grant stay pending appeal;
2) Deny stay pending appeal;
3) Weird mixed ruling; or
4) No ruling.
(1) means no change to mifepristone access anytime soon; (2)-(4) mean big changes starting Thurs. My money’s on (1).

Also, the Court’s ruling on the stay could come literally at any time today (or, per option (4), not come at all), and there will be no advance public notice that it’s nigh.
We also won’t know the vote count unless four Justices publicly dissent.
Welcome to the shadow docket.

Welcome to the shadow docket.
Finally, the Justices already have a busy day ahead; we expect one or more decisions in argued cases starting at 10:00 ET (note: this *won’t* include the mifepristone ruling); and then they’re hearing one regularly scheduled oral argument.
So stay tuned…

#SCOTUS and #mifepristone: A brief🧵on what to expect.
First, DOJ and Danco will file applications for emergency relief later this a.m. to freeze the rest of Kacsmaryk's order.
They'll seek two things:
1. A stay pending appeal; and
2. An "administrative" stay in the interim.

Because the rest of Kacsmaryk's order goes into effect at midnight tonight (12:00 a.m. CT Saturday), there isn't time for the full Court to rule on the full stay pending appeal.
Instead, the focus today is the request for an "administrative" stay (freezing things temporarily).
Instead, the focus today is the request for an "administrative" stay (freezing things temporarily).
That request goes to Justice Alito as Circuit Justice for the Fifth Circuit.
And even though you may think the result is thus foreordained, Alito (like the other Justices) has previously *issued* administrative* stays even when he ultimately didn't vote for a stay on the merits:

Hey @ACRheum @KenSaag - read the comments and hear the voices of our patients. Now is the time to LEAD and we are ready to follow you!

1) Can start with information and education for patients and providers, on a state-by-state basis, on what is legal and how it can be accessed, including emergency contraception and #mifepristone. It’s going to change fast
2) Follow the fight to the states and put our advocacy muscle 💪 towards fighting state level restrictions on the practice of medicine.
Thanks to years of #obgyn advocacy and decades of safe use of medication abortion, as of today, many patients will no longer need to risk unnecessary exposure to #COVID19 as a condition of using #mifepristone for abortion care. 1/
From our statement: "Requiring the medicine to be dispensed in person, then taken elsewhere at the patients’ discretion, is arbitrary and does nothing to bolster the safety of an already-safe medicine." 2/
"We are pleased to see mifepristone regulated on... the scientific evidence during the pandemic, rather than political bias against comprehensive reproductive health care, & we look forward to working with policy makers to ensure this principle governs post-pandemic care.” 3/
BREAKING: ACOG win! The @US_FDA Acting Commissioner Janet Woodcock has notified @ACOG and @MySMFM that the agency will "exercise enforcement discretion" regarding #mifepristone through the duration of the #COVID19 public health emergency. 1/
This means that many patients in need of termination of early pregnancy will be able to access safe, effective mifepristone by mail, rather than having to risk avoidable COVID exposure to themselves and their clinicians. 2/
1. #AbortionPillChristine Dr Christine Blasey, name she uses for research, has worked on development and use of abortion meds #Misoprostol and #Mifepristone for early abortion. She and Big Pharma that she works for have millions at risk if Judge Brett Kavanaugh gets confirmed.
2. #AbortionPillChristine If Judge Kavanaugh joins the Supreme Court Big Pharma believes there is a chance abortion will be go from lawful to unlawful. The manufacture of abortion meds will become unprofitable. Chemicals used to produce these two meds are licensed to others.
3. #AbortionPillChristine #DraintheSwamp Cabal of Dems and University Elites are extensive part of the swamp. They will resort to using large sums of money placed in hands of operatives to sabotage politics and help maintain the taxpayer funding for research and development.
