The articles say the standing of who is the defendant is at issue, because the law is solely based on allowing civil lawsuits. So that seems to have gotten them this temporary victory. Biggest problem I see with the logic of the law is that, if it holds up, there’s nothing stopping a liberal state from saying citizens can sue anyone who carries a firearm.
It seems like we’re still going to end up at the constitutional question in the end. And we’ll need 5 justices to say the constitution does not guarantee the right to an abortion. Do we know how this current block of 5 has voted on any past abortion cases? Gorsuch is the one I would be most worried about. Thomas, Alito and Barrett should all be solid gold on the issue.
I’m most concerned with Kavanaugh jumping to his best buddy’s (roberts) rescue. Gorsuch is going to be on the correct side of this.
