split that brings the issue back to the supreme court. ultimately to make really novel decisions number one. the fda is power, whether or not the court can reverse it, whether or not states can actually limit the use after the fda has said what we think it s okay to dispense it this way. can states take that action? is there a federal preemption issue? there are so many novel legal issues that are coming out of the dobbs decision, especially in a world where we can get medication, and we do. unmasking medication through the mail conversation use so much, so i don t think we re even 1% to where we re going to be to get some clarity on these issues. but the first case we re going to know pretty soon where that lands on around may 17th. it s interesting to chris and to your point in terms of taking some of this out of the headlines because you know usually your words that you feel republicans have been sort of flat footed, and we ve seen that just in the response, even lack of response to
point, saying, well, the fda could just choose not to can just continuous status quo. i mean, really interesting. so first of all, that s the standard for any stay its likelihood of success on the underlying merits of the case and irreparable harm, and that s what someone has to show a party has to show that in order to get a stay the reason that he s saying that is because there s a huge question mark about whether or not a regulatory agency can actually be have something reversed by a court. so there s a whole school of arguments about the power of the federal agency and whether or not they re actually subject to that jurisdiction and whether a court could intervene and so that s where that comes in. but i agree with this decision. i m not surprised that this is what happened. there would have been chaos just in the sense of well now, what does this mean for any other pharmaceutical? market can a court come in and say the fda doesn t have the right to approve and we can reverse it. i
something like gay marriage, when they decided the obergefell case. um, that was something that took a political hot button and it took it off the table. it said the supreme court made a ruling and no longer were republicans really getting asked the same kinds of questions as often about. well what do you define as marriage? etcetera in this case with the fall of roe versus wade, with its overturning the dobbs case, it put abortion back on the political agenda, and republicans, in my view have been pretty flatfooted in their messaging on this, every new headline about abortion is bringing or potential political peril to republicans. as long as they don t have their act together on this, so maybe out of the headlines for a little while, mr give us a sense. is there a timeline in terms of this appeals process? what are we looking at? so this particular cases expedited. we re going to hear those arguments on may 17th, so that s really quick. but that s just the beginning. there s other ca
subject of an ongoing lega challenge before florida s conservative-controlled suprem court. so jen palmieri, this is jus another chapter of what we hav seen just in the past couple o weeks, but in the last almos year now since the overturning of roe the wisconsin state legislature, abortion was a central issue that texas decision by a judge out there really putting o hold or banning the abortion pill, and now this in florida. a six-week extreme abortio ban. the, and i love tha desantis tweet this after 11:0 at night, as if people aren going to notice, but we ar called a 15-week ban, becaus that s also what the mississippi law was. in the dobbs case. 15-week ban a year and a hal ago we thought was extreme lindsey graham offer that as the alternative, the moderat alternative as you recall in the midterms, and even thoug
will be that the drug will b continued to be available unti the appeals work out but i think that they are on a collision course to the suprem court. let s go back to that short term effect because people are confused tonight several democratic governors have posted on socia media that they will keep th drug available in their states why does this go next? what is the final rule what do you think that the final result is going to be? people are confused. they are walking int drugstores thinking do i nee to stock up on this? that is not helping anyone o anything to do this case out of texa absolutely those things into chaos. as you know it would when th supreme decided that the dobbs case was overturning roe versu wade we ve had nothing but chao ever since but even in texas, the judge there said that he would allow seven days for the parties t decide whether to appeal the justice department i appealing to the fifth circuit so i imagine this decision would be stayed. long term, it co
