Notably, Judge Kacsmaryk \u200brecently ruled against\u2064 the FDA&#8217;s \u2064approval of mifepristone.<\/p>\n<p>It\u200c is worth mentioning that Judges \u2063Ho and \u200dBranch have expressed their\u2063 opposition to &#8220;cancel culture&#8221;\u200d at\u2063 Yale and Stanford by refusing to hire clerks\u200b from these institutions.
