The court has adjusted its November argument schedule to reflect the accelerated consideration of the Texas abortion law.

Amy Howe @AHoweBlogger

#SCOTUS issues new oral argument calendar for November in light of today's orders scheduling Texas abortion cases for Nov. 1. Ramirez v. Collier, originally scheduled for Nov. 1, is now set for Nov. 9; Shinn v. Ramirez, originally set for Nov. 1, will be argued in December.

When it hears argument on Nov. 1, the court will not directly consider the substance of the Texas abortion law. Here are the questions presented. The first concerns Texas' unusual private-enforcement scheme; the second concerns whether DOJ has the right to sue to block the law.

BREAKING: SCOTUS fast-tracks both lawsuits challenging the Texas anti-abortion law and schedules oral argument just 10 days from now. Sotomayor writes a partial dissent castigating the court for once again leaving the law in place in the meantime.

#SCOTUS will hear oral argument on Nov. 1 in challenge to Texas near-total ban on abortion beginning at 6th week of pregnancy. Court grants requests by Biden administration, Texas abortion providers to weigh in but leaves Texas law in place until then.

In September, Amy Coney Barrett spoke in Louisville at the McConnell Center but imposed restrictions on press coverage of the event. @FixTheCourt used a Kentucky public-records request to bring some transparency to the event.
