United States of America<\/em>, which prevented Idaho from implementing its Defense of Life Act. A Ninth Circuit panel initially overruled the District Judge and would have allowed Idaho to implement its law.&nbsp;However, the full Ninth&nbsp;Circuit overruled the panel decision and halted the implementation of Idaho&#8217;s law protecting the unborn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the Supreme Court overruled the Ninth Circuit decision. In addition, the Supreme Court took the extraordinary step of granting <em>certiorari<\/em> to decide the case on the merits and removing the case from the Ninth Circuit&#8217;s consideration entirely.\u00a0The Supreme Court indicated the case would be heard sometime in April. A stay is typically granted if the moving party shows that it is likely to prevail on the merits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Praising the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision, Idaho Attorney General\u00a0Ra\u00fal Labrador said,\u00a0&#8220;We are very pleased and encouraged by the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision today. The federal government has been wrong from day one. Federal law does not preempt Idaho&#8217;s Defense of Life Act. In fact, EMTALA and Idaho&#8217;s law share the same goal: to save the lives of all women and their unborn children. Today, the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision is a big step\u00a0in stopping the administration&#8217;s lawless overreach.\u00a0The people of Idaho have spoken with clarity on the issue of life.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boise, ID \u2013&nbsp;Acting in response to the Idaho Attorney&nbsp;General&#8217;s emergency application, the Supreme Court of the United States today took the rare step of granting an immediate stay&nbsp;of the preliminary injunction issued by a U.S. District Judge in&nbsp;State of Idaho v.
