No, not at all. Fundamentally at issue in this case is whether the recently enacted Idaho Defense of Life Act is preempted by the 40-year-old federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. The Supreme Court originally decided that it would take up this issue itself, rather than have the matter decided in the first instance by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Now, the Supreme Court has dismissed the case from its own docket, essentially saying that it should have never taken up the case, given its current procedural posture, in the first place. But this very much remains a federal matter, since, again, the issue of federal preemption is what is in view.
still sounds like they don't want anything to do with federal preemption....won't it be seen that way by the general public ?
Media is framing this as a win for Biden since abortions are once again allowed at the Idaho hospital, but I see it as a question being settled closer to home.
the makeup of the 9th "Circus' Court of Appeals moved right during Trump's years to now include some common sense judges, though I doubt it's a "conservative" court. The court should let Idaho residents decide, imho.
