SCOTUS: First Justice Jackson Action (Or Not)

First order dropped since we have a new justice and there is some inside SCOTUS/baseball involved. Meanwhile, Breyer is going to Harvard.

The case involves "Box v. Planned Parenthood" (no not that one). It involves a request to speed along a judgment involving a law dealing with the procedures for judicial bypass (parental consent). The sort of law that could have been upheld pre-Dobbs. With Dobbs, Planned Parenthood did not resist the request. Chief Justice Roberts granted it.

It was a 7th Circuit ruling and Barrett was recused. Now, the rules would then send the request to the next junior, who would be Jackson. If the most junior justice cannot take part, it goes to the Chief Justice. Who is the one who handed down the order. So, maybe she did not take part? Anyway, she doesn't have a circuit yet.
