The Supreme Court refused to fast-track the election-related cases (including Lin Wood’s🤡), meaning the justices won’t consider them until later this winter. As @steve_vladeck pointed out, they should all be moot by that point, though the justices can always find a way to rule.

It’s no surprise the justices don’t want to insert the court into a dispute over the election’s legitimacy five days after insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. But they could still take these cases down the road.

It’s no surprise Thomas has renewed his call to outlaw buffer zones around abortion clinics. SCOTUS last upheld their constitutionality by a 5–4 vote with Roberts joining the liberals. Now that Barrett’s on the court, buffer zones may soon be toast. supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf…
SCOTUS’ last buffer zone decision was complex, but the upshot was that five justices (Roberts + liberals) affirmed the constitutional basis for buffer zones’ legality, while four indicated that they are always unlawful. Not sure that’ll hold much longer. supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf…
