On Oct. 8, a federal appeals court put a temporary hold on a judge's order that had blocked Texas' six-week abortion ban, CNN.com reported.
Just two days earlier, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman issued an order blocking the state's six-week abortion ban, according to Texas Lawyer. The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals acted swiftly to grant Texas' request for an administrative stay of the order.
The appellate court also asked for the Justice Department to respond by 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Oct. 12, to a request by Texas that Pitman's order be frozen while its appeal is considered by the 5th Circuit. Judges Carl Stewart, a Clinton appointee; Catharina Haynes, a George W. Bush appointee; and James Ho, a Trump appointee, sat on the appellate panel considering the state's request.
The fight over Pitman's order could ultimately end up before the U.S. Supreme Court, which rejected an earlier request from abortion clinics that it block the law. |
