They decided this one on procedural grounds. Does that mean this could still come up again from someone who DOES have standing?

Well thank God for small favors.

Yes, and it definitely will. While it's a short-term win, this fight isn't over and we could easily lose it. www.reuters.com/legal/government/states-can-join-lawsuit-seeking-restrict-abortion-pill-judge-rules-2024-01-12/

I mean, in theory, sure, but coming up with standing for anyone here with this argument would be really, really hard. More likely is they'll try to come up with some other way to restrict access.


ETA: this is a win. Don't get complacent, but take the win.

It's a sad state of affairs that I was surprised/relieved that they chucked it out because of the lack of standing.

They've heard cases recently that also seemed like slam dunk "lack of standing" dismissals and yet...forged ahead to destroy our rights. So this "normalcy" is nice.

I'm sure these fuckers have 20 other avenues they'll explore, but at least we have kicked that can down the line a bit.

There is a reason that these fuckers let it go all the way up to the Supreme Court just to have Kauvanaugh write an opinion.

That fucker wrote something that is going to get plucked and screw us in a future case.

They basically have in their decision a road map to how this could be pursued. That's how my l&o degree sees it at least asking with regularly reading beyond the law blog
