Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and the Supreme
0:05
Court just pulled a fast one on President Joe Biden and the Democrats

Reporting was that hours before the debate here, what the Biden administration wanted
0:25
was a ruling that would have banned emergency abortions in the state of Idaho
0:31
However, that's not what they got. The Supreme Court kinda sorta allowed these emergency abortions to continue
0:40
These are not abortions where the woman's life is in danger. These are abortions where she might have to have a hysterectomy, or there might be some
0:49
medical complications. They're more elective abortions than they sound like when you say emergency
0:56
But the Supreme Court did not rule to keep them legal forever
1:01
What they did was they said they didn't have the jurisdiction to rule
1:05
And then the conservative justices basically wrote out a roadmap for attorneys about how
1:10
to get the case back before them, where presumably they'll strike it down
1:16
And this infuriated Justice Katonji, who sits on the court and she's Biden's appointee
1:25
she wrote her dissent, and it was scathing. And then you see the reporters basically talk about how this was a setup by the Supreme
1:33
Court to basically bail Trump out, so he didn't have to talk about this tonight, and so it
1:38
wouldn't be an issue for the election this year. It's actually genius if that's what they did
1:44
I want you to watch this report on it, and then please give me your opinions in the comments
2:15
It did not confirm that it was actually the opinion. Instead, the statement said that the actual formal opinion would be released in due course
2:23
Well, it looks like in due course is today. So as we reported yesterday, in this opinion, the court sides with the Biden administration
2:31
for now, but this is specific to the state of Idaho. They're saying, look, in the state of Idaho right now, if doctors need to perform abortions
2:37
to stabilize a woman in an emergency room setting, they can continue to do that, even
2:42
though the state law would require doctors to wait until a woman's life is in danger
2:47
But the reason this doesn't really resolve the issue is because this only applies to Idaho
2:52
And in her concurrence, Justice Katonji Brown-Jackson, she said, look, this isn't a victory because
2:57
you're not answering the question of what doctors are required to do by law now that
3:01
you've sort of tossed Roe v. Wade, overturned Roe v. Wade, and tossed this issue down to
3:05
the states. So technically, it's a win for the Biden administration in this highly watched abortion case, but
3:11
it still leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Yeah, right. Because you have the Idaho ban, but also 13 other states, right, with the near total abortion
3:18
ban, including in Texas. And there's a lawsuit challenging the Texas ban
3:22
And so this could end up right back before the high court soon, right? This is precisely Justice Katonji Brown-Jackson's point that she makes in the dissent
3:29
She says, we punted today. That's what they did. They granted certiorari the Supreme Court
3:33
They took the case several months ago. And now today they're saying, whoops, we messed up
3:37
We never should have taken the case back down to the normal course. And what Justice Jackson is saying is we should be able to rule here because federal
3:43
law, when it conflicts with state law, should prevail, which would mean broader abortion
3:48
rights, broader obligations by doctors to perform emergency surgeries. And Justice Jackson says the result of what we've done here today is we're going to have
3:55
inconsistency state to state. We're going to subject the country to ongoing litigation working its way through the federal
4:02
district courts, courts of appeals before, I think, and I think Justice Jackson agrees
4:06
ultimately will end up back at the Supreme Court. When you have such a square clash between federal law and state law, and the issue is
4:12
so fundamental as to when do doctors have to give emergency care to patients, to women
4:17
who are pregnant? That's such an important question. There's such a square conflict here
4:21
It will end up before the Supreme Court, but not for potential
