The fate of the abortion pill mifepristone is now before the Supreme Court, after a fifth-circuit appeals panel of three judges ruled against its distribution last summer.
According to a new report, the wife of one of those judges—James Ho, a Trump appointee who previously served as the solicitor general of Texas—took at least six payments between 2018 and 2022 from the conservative legal group that brought the case to court.
It does matter less than being more involved though. If that’s all you can do that’s perfectly fine, but if we really want to fix things we need those who can to be more involved, that’s all.
