Hello, fellow law nerds.

Welcome to another episode of Boom Lawyered, a rewire.

News podcast hosted by the legal journalism team that is biting its nails waiting for

what the Supreme Court is going to decide to do in this Louisiana

abortion rights case. I'm Imani Gandhi. And I'm Jess Piclo. Rewire.com news is dedicated to bringing

you the best reproductive rights and social justice news, commentary, and analysis on the web.

And the team legal podcast is part of that mission. So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners.

So in our last episode, we talked about a case called June Medical Services v. Ghee. It involves a

Louisiana law and admitting privileges law that requires abortion providers to maintain hospital admitting

privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of where the

abortion was performed. And so we talked about the efficacy of that law. We talked about how

unconstitutional it is and how the Supreme Court really ought to issue a stay of the Fifth

Circuit ruling upholding that law in order to maintain the status quo while that

law proceeds through litigation.

And so on Friday, the Supreme Court gave us a stay and we were like, woohoo, we got to stay.

And then we read the order and we were like, oh no.

Because the order only extends the stay through this Thursday,

through this seventh.

What?

Yeah.

And so that's in order to give the court more time to consider arguments.

And that, that, my friends, my dear listeners, is really, really, really fucking weird.
