Danco says that if #SCOTUS isn't willing to issue a full stay while the 5th Circuit considers the appeal, it should skip the 5th Circuit and SCOTUS should take up the case on the merits now and expedite it so there's a final decision this term.

Generic mifepristone maker GenBioPro, in a @johnpelwood-led brief, urges a full stay by #SCOTUS because the Fifth Circuit ruling would purportedly halt their generic drug’s approval even though they weren’t a party: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/2… GenBioPro is the only suppl...

BREAKING: Alito issues administrative stays halting Kacsmaryk’s mifepristone order from going into effect at all tonight.

His administrative stay is in effect through April 19. A response to DOJ/Danco’s applications are due by noon Tuesday.

Background: lawdork.com/p/doj-scotus-m… ImageImage
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, as the circuit justice for the Fifth Circuit, issued the administrative stay. This means that Kacsmaryk’s order will remain on hold through 11:59p April 19.

Expect further SCOTUS action, likely a ruling from the full court, before then.
This is not — and should not be seen as — a ruling on either the merits of the case or even DOJ and Danco’s requests for a stay pending appeal.

This is an administrative stay, as Alito writes, and he very well could rule differently on the stay request (or the merits).

Of course this clown car of a week includes an unusual (but long-scheduled) Friday #SCOTUS sitting, along with the possibility of one or more opinions in argued cases starting at 10a ET.
This is important because, opinions, but also because it means the justices — Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Thomas, and their colleagues — could be on the bench in the morning, in the wake of a growing scandal surrounding the relationship between Thomas and Harlan Crow.
And, regarding #SCOTUS, we're still awaiting at least a DOJ filing in the Texas mifepristone case. The Washington clarification ruling and the expedited schedule at the Fifth Circuit could have slowed things down, but there should be something at SCOTUS soon, I'd think.

JUST IN: DOJ has filed its reply in support of a stay pending appeal of the Kacsmaryk mifepristone order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
And, Danco has filed its reply: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
At this point, the briefing is completed. I'm going to review the filings and post, but we could, in theory, get an order from the 5th Circuit at any time here. Also, recall that DOJ asked for a ruling by noon Thursday so that they can go to SCOTUS if needed.
