Amy Howe:
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissents, expresses her concern that "contemporary practice" on these kinds of rulings "has drifted away from the doctrine's foundational moorings"
#SCOTUS vacates lower court ruling holding that state court clerk can be sued for telling pregnant teen seeking abortion that her parents would have to be notified, sends case back w/instructions to dismiss case as moot
2/ Gerstein:
No new cases granted for argument but Justice Jackson dissents (solo) as #SCOTUS wipes out an 8th Circuit decision upholding minor's right to judicial bypass on abortion. Seems moot post-Dobbs but KBJ says SCOTUS is too quick to erase decisions
Keep in mind that the Court's ruling was in light not so much of Dobbs but of both parties in the case requesting that this resolution be reached.
Yes, even the side promoting abortion rights requested this outcome.
KBJ's dissent doesn't have anything to do with abortion, but only with her opinion that the Court shouldn't have acquiesced to the motion without applying a different standard.
