Melissa Segura reports on the … mess … lying behind the mifepristone case at the Supreme Court. Judge James Ho of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, a Trump appointee, served on the three-judge panel that ruled to restrict access to mifepristone. And the legal group behind the mifepristone case, Alliance Defending Freedom, made at least six payments from 2018 through 2022 to Ho's wife, Allyson, a federal appellate lawyer.

#FifthCircuit keeps #Texas' #antidrag #law on ice as the state's #appeal #proceeds.

#Judge #JamesHo, though, wrote that #Texas should immediately be allowed to #enforce the #law — despite a #district #judge's #ruling that the #law is #unconstitutional.

“Ho is the Federalist Society/MAGA darling of 5th Cir. Court of Appeals who’s written very aggressive opinions, including 1 from 2019 in which he said that
“abortion is the immoral, tragic & violent taking of innocent human life.
”Fmr Prez 🤡rump nominated the TX judge to the appeals court in 2017 &
Ho was sworn in in Jan 2018 by Justice Thomas himself—in Crow’s private library.”https://jezebel.com/judge-set-to-hear-abortion-pill-case-was-sworn-in-at-bi-1850416283
