After the Supreme Court’s stay ruling yesterday, a Fifth Circuit panel will proceed wth oral argument on May 17 in New Orleans. (Information about the audio livestream may be found in that link.)

While the Supreme Court’s order said very little, the votes of seven Justices were consistent with the position of Judge Haynes when the stay issue was before the Fifth Circuit, and no Justice indicated agreement with the analysis of the per curiam panel majority. (I recently observed in Slate that the “Dobbs-era Supreme Court is well aware of the judicial strand of conservative thought, as well as the political.”).
