supreme court the election of the liberal candidate there. do you think this? how do you think that this um, tonight. this ruling and also this case moving forward. these cases we should say will impact that energy. well this case tonight the ruling tonight definitely was eliciting a very big side of relief from republicans. you probably couldn t hear it because it was very quiet, very private. but it was definitely there. um it is true that this is definitely not the end of this discussion. it s not. the end of the road is, as elliot and joan have described. but what is also true is what you said audie that it s not just tim scott. but other republicans who are trying to find a way to bridge what they think that they need to do for the gop primary electorate. and the potentially for a general electorate on this issue. i can t think of one that
anyone. it s really interesting here. of course, as we know this is a majority of conservative court in this case, two dissents five in favor to we don t know how they voted. what do you make of this? i think this demonstrates what a different case this was then what the justices did in june when they rolled back a half century of abortion rights. this case has to do with the authority of the fda to regulate and make its own scientific determinations for drugs. so i think the biden administration made a very compelling case for the chaos that would arise if the supreme court did not put these lower court orders and hold. secondly, though, if you go back to the june decision in dobbs, the justices said, then specifically and even samuel alito wrote. the court was sending it back to the states and justice kavanaugh, who apparently provided the key fifth vote. made an effort in a separate statement to say we are
backdrop of what you just said. when you look at the descent here from justice elite. so he is trying to argue that this is going to happen really fast and it wouldn t really change anything. but that s not exactly true, right could have changed a lot. um and certainly you know what what joe has mentioned here when we talk about full briefing, that s actually quite important. it s very important point, which is that court really hasn t heard and seen briefs and papers from the parties on this matter really assessing the merits of the case, but they were just deciding here is whether to preserve the status quo while this matter works its way up through the courts. so what happens next number one. this goes to the fifth circuit court of appeals appellate court in norman s louisiana bell rule on it, and then i think it s pretty. it s a safe bet to say this is going to the supreme court and eventually they will roll on it, too. now look to take justice alito at his word. perhaps the court
half of abortions and the united states. justices alito and thomas publicly dissented. and again this battle it is not over yet. the next step in the litigation will be at the fifth circuit court of appeals on may 17th. but this tonight it s a big win for the biden administration after its emergency request to keep the fda approval of the drug with a federal judge blocked it. the president has issued a statement tonight saying, quote i continue to stand by fda as evidence based approval of mifepristone. the stakes could not be higher for women across america. i will continue to fight politically driven attacks on women s health. more now from cnn s paula raid, paula good evening, pamela will hear the supreme court has ensured that this commonly used abortion medication will remain widely available, while larger lawsuits about its fda approval work their way through the system. at the heart of this case is this drug that you just mentioned chris stone. it is one of two
