Episode 74: Supreme Court Review June 2024: Abortions, Opioids, & Social Media

The Legal Weekly Wine

Emergency abortions in Idaho, social media restrictions on content, and a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma for opioid addiction. Grab a glass of wine and join our legal team as we discuss the Supreme Court's 2024 case decisions from the last week of June!

In Moyle v. United States, 602 U.S. ____ (2024), the Supreme Court upheld emergency abortions for the health of the mother in limited circumstances. We discuss what implications this decision has on the Court's prior Dobbs decision and for the future of abortions in the United States.

In Harrington v. Purdue Pharma, 602 U.S. ____ (2024), SCOTUS reviewed the opioid crisis in terms of bankruptcy proceedings by opioid producer Purdue Pharmaceuticals. The Court rejected the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy release through reorganization, because the settlement and reorganization plan was done without the consent of potential litigants/claimants.

In Murthy v. Missouri, 602 U.S. ____ (2024), SCOTUS discussed the COVID-19 crisis in terms of information that was published on or withheld from social media. SCOTUS held that the Plaintiffs did not have standing to sue, because they could not prove they had been harmed or that there was a substantial possibility that they would be harmed in the future by any social media's individual decision to refuse publication of posts.

Finally, we discuss the recent First Amendment and religious separation of church and state laws and cases out of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Attorney General just issued a mandate to require teaching the Bible to children in 5th - 12th grades, and the State allowed public aide to a private Catholic school.
