BREAKING: Supreme Court *grants* stay of 5th-circuit ruling in June Medical Services v. Gee, blocking onerous abortion-clinic regulations from taking effect in Louisiana.
Chief Justice Roberts votes w/ four liberal justices to apply a 2016 precedent from which he had dissented.
Chief Justice Roberts votes w/ four liberal justices to apply a 2016 precedent from which he had dissented.
Justice Kavanaugh writes a dissent, joined by Justices Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas. These four would have denied the stay because, they say, the challenge to the Louisiana law raises an "intensely factual question" that shouldn't be resolved before the law goes into effect. 
*correction: Kavanaugh wrote for himself, not for the other three conservative justice. (But all four dissented from the stay grant.)
