Why Did SCOTUS Take the “Mifepristone Case”

Religious conservative troglodytes want the federal government to ban the shipping of the drugs used to cause the majority of abortions in this country, the most common one being mifepristone. The SCOTUS took the case on offer only to point out, with a 9-0 ruling, that the people bringing the case had no standing as those doctors had never prescribed the drug and so neither they nor their patients suffered any harm and so could not bring such a case.

So, why did SCOTUS accept the case in the first place, if the people bringing it had no standing?

Ah, interesting. This was basically a giant waste of the court’s time, so why did they agree to take it in the first place (it only takes four justices to agree to take a case)? The only reason I can see is that they are guiding the litigants in making their next attempt. They are telling then “next time, make sure you have someone being ‘harmed’ when you bring your case.” I say “harmed” because recently the SCOTUS took a case that was entirely fictitious, naming people to have been harmed and the people so noted denied that any harm was done to them.

Not all that subtle, but the court gets what it wants, a violable case to ban abortion drugs being shipped in the U.S. and they get the appearance of being reasonable people in denying this case.

Be on notice. There will be another case attempting to ban the shipping of abortion drugs. It will have someone “harmed” and the conservative justices will jump on it like a dog in heat.

Note—The “news organs” are claiming that SCOTUS “preserved access to the mifepristone drug.” They did no such thing. They didn’t even address the subject as the plaintiffs had no standing so off they were sent.
