IMO the Court declined the stay to be consistent with its prior decision on the same issue but ordered expedited briefing so they could address the merits – and they are going to strike the Texas law and uphold Roe on this go-around.

The reason why Clarence Thomas going to the preeminent Republican think tank to be lauded by the nation’s most powerful Republican isn’t a bigger story, is that deep down we all understand that the Supreme Court is a partisan institution.
