   NEWS: Idaho (with new ADF and Cooper & Kirk lawyers) is asking SCOTUS to allow the state to fully enforce their abortion ban, regardless of the federal emergency room care law (EMTALA), while the appeal proceeds. First reported by Kelcie Moseley-Morris tonight: https://idahocapitalsun.com/2023/11/21/alliance-defending-freedom-asks-u-s-supreme-court-to-intervene-in-idaho-abortion-case/

     WHAT'S UP HERE? Since before the fall of Roe, DOJ has said the fed'l E.R. law (EMTALA) includes abortion-related care protections. DOJ is suing Idaho, with its near-total abortion ban, saying there must be an EMTALA exception. With this filing, this fight is now coming to SCOTUS.

     This will be a new shadow docket matter at SCOTUS although it's not yet on the docket. ADF's link to the filing: https://adfmedialegalfiles.blob.core.windows.net/files/IdahoMotionToStayPendingAppeal.pdf

     I've written extensively on this case at Law Dork, most recently about Ninth Circuit shenanigans: https://www.lawdork.com/p/ninth-circuit-abortion-trump-appointees

     Notably, in the Idaho AG/ADF/Cooper&Kirk application for a stay pending appeal, they are providing an alternative argument that SCOTUS should take up the EMTALA question now for merits arguments this term.

     Paul Cantrell repeated this.
