4. They haven't decided.

In a case regarding Louisiana's efforts to block distribution of mifepristone, the fifth circuit issued a decision staying an ongoing FDA proceeding, effectively blocking the availability of the medication. The manufacturers of the medication and others filed an emergency requesting that the of the fifth circuit stay be vacated to allow completion of the FDA proceeding. In the alternative, the petitioners asked for an administrative stay of the fifth circuit decision pending a full, expedited Supreme Court review of that decision. Alito granted the administrative stay request, set a deadline-- this Thursday -- for Louisiana to respond to the request for the fifth circuit decision to be vacated pending full Court review.

That is where things stand at the moment.
