      Instead of issuing a ruling blocking Texas’ 6-week abortion ban from taking effect, the Court did nothing. But in this case, doing nothing is actually doing EVERYTHING. Because by doing nothing, the justices said Roe is no longer good law.

      Wait. How can the justices doing nothing be the same thing as the justices saying something? I’ll explain.pic.twitter.com/u8Tpdye6BT

      Texas’ #SB8 bans abortion at 6 weeks. That means it bans abortion well before a fetus is viable. Roe v. Wade says specifically states can’t do that. Doesn’t matter. Texas just did that.

      Now normally when Texas lawmakers try to ban abortion—because they have before!—there’s a big long court fight. It can take YEARS for a case to go from legislation to the Supreme Court.

      And that’s because it takes a long time to develop evidence and go through the arguments. Courts normally take their time deciding big weighty constitutional questions.

      And normally when the Supreme Court is going to do something like overturn—or substantially change—the law it does so after a bunch of briefs and oral arguments. And it does so with a case that is “on the docket.”

      “On the docket” is lawyer-speak for when a court formally accepts a case to resolve. It puts it “on the docket.” The docket is the public record of legal challenges—important for transparency and a healthy democracy!pic.twitter.com/tacCtUeIPa

      It turns out the conservative justices aren’t the biggest fans of transparency, and so they have developed a side hustle—a shadow docket if you will-—and that’s the place where they can wreak havoc outside of public view.pic.twitter.com/rTR3wtLkl1

      The Supreme Court has done all sorts of terrible things via the shadow docket—like letting the Biden administration eviction moratorium lapse and now gutting abortion rights law!pic.twitter.com/d4WF27N4kO

          If SCOTUS was interested in upholding abortion rights precedent, it would have issued an order that says basically “sorry Texas, Roe says you can’t ban abortion at 6 weeks. Nice try.” SCOTUS didn’t issue that order.pic.twitter.com/bZ71jJrFFy

          And by not issuing that order, SCOTUS signaled that the 6-3 conservative majority has no interest in upholding Roe as precedent. And it did so on the shadow docket.pic.twitter.com/RC4FNeJXQR

          You might remember that there actually is a formal challenge to Roe v. Wade “on the docket” for SCOTUS this term—Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Well guess what? The last 24 hours just told us everything about how SCOTUS plans to rule in Dobbs.pic.twitter.com/prBQxa1VML

          A lot could still happen this week. The fight in Texas isn’t necessarily a done deal. We’re in the earliest phases of figuring out this new landscape for abortion rights and access, but nobody has you covered like we do over at @RewireNewsGroup.

          Every time I start to think about living in another part of the country something like this happens. Me and my anxiety are staying planted in the state where abortion is a right enshrined in our state constitution.

          They had ZERO issue getting out rulings to kick people out of their homes. Yet this one just couldn't get done? Hmmmmmm

          Overturning Roe v. Wade is the GOP Hail Mary Pass. They could have done it anytime they actually wanted to but having done so would have cost them the votes of those single issue voters.
