Although she did not publicly dissent to the per curium opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was nevertheless highly critical of the court’s order avoiding a final decision in the abortion case.
It was particularly wrong, Jackson said, because the court had for months allowed Idaho’s strict abortion law to remain in effect.
“It is too little, too late for the Court to take a mulligan and just tell the lower courts to carry on as if none of this has happened,” Jackson wrote.
The majority opts, instead, to dismiss these cases,” Jackson wrote.
“But storm clouds loom ahead.”The liberal justice said she wanted the court to decide the case in full this term.
