Supreme Court of the United States
June Medical Services L. L. C., Petitioners v. Stephen Russo, Interim Secretary, Louisia — Kavanaugh, J…
June 29, 2020140 S. Ct. 2103
Summary
Justice Kavanaugh, dissenting, argues that the Court should remand for additional fact‑finding and that the abortion providers lack Article III standing, rendering the majority's injunction improper. He critiques the use of the Whole Woman’s Health cost‑benefit test and stresses that the Constitution does not limit states from regulating abortion. The dissent also questions the legitimacy of the third‑party standing doctrine and calls for adherence to traditional standing and facial‑challenge principles.
