Reminder: the US created and exported the global opioid crisis. Purdue and the Sackler family greed are why millions are addicted to opioids, their lives shattered, with hundreds of thousands dead from opioids. And more dying every day. Canada didn't create this problem. Americans did. #opioids #purdue #sackler #greed #addiction

As the #Potus #Debate begins tonight, consider:
#SCotUS suspended a $6B judgment against against the #Sackler family (whose company made #Oxycontin) in favor of the families of their victims.
To explain his vote to suspend the ruling, Justice #Gorsuch said (quote) "there may be a better deal on the horizon."
"Better deal" for *who*? Is that "horizon" a T**** reelection?

#GiftArticle on #SCOTUS’ ruling on #PurduePharma #opioid case
The #SupremeCourt blocked a controversial proposed Purdue #Pharma bankruptcy plan that would have provided billions to help address the nation’s #OpioidCrisis in exchange for protecting the #Sackler family from future lawsuits.
The closely watched fight involving the maker of #OxyContin is part of a national reckoning over the role of #drugmakers & others in the #PublicHealth opioid #addiction crisis.
Supreme court issues three major decisions surrounding Purdue Pharma, the EPA and abortion
-- but I'd quiet on Trump immunity hours before debate
The supreme court on Thursday issued three major decisions on cases involving OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, an air pollution rule by the Environmental Protection Agency and abortion access in Idaho.
️In a 5-4 decision, the conservative-majority court rejected #Purdue Pharma’s multi-billion dollar settlement that would have shielded the wealthy #Sackler family from future lawsuits over the country’s deadly #opioid epidemic, but would have also provided compensation and rehabilitation funds to victims.
In his opinion, conservative justice Neil Gorsuch wrote:
“The Sacklers seek greater relief than a bankruptcy discharge normally affords, for they hope to extinguish even claims for wrongful death and fraud, and they seek to do so without putting anything close to all their assets on the table.”
️In a separate 5-4 decision, the court put on hold an attempt by the #EPA to reduce air pollution from power plants in “upwind” states that would affect air quality in “#downwind” states. Along with industry allies, Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana have been challenging the EPA’s rule.
Conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the court’s three liberal justices, in dissent, wrote that the court “justifies this decision based on an alleged procedural error that likely had no impact on the plan.”
️Meanwhile, in a victory for reproductive rights activists, the court dismissed a case over whether #emergency room doctors can perform #abortions to so save a pregnant woman’s life.
The court’s 6-3 decision marks a win for the Joe Bidenadministration, for now, as the case is returned to a lower court and potentially delays a final decision until after the election. Idaho had tried to have the procedure exempted from the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act.
On the #Pharma #sackler #opiod case:
Edward Neiger, who represents thousands of victims who stood to benefit from the #PurduePharma bankruptcy settlement that the #SCOTUS blocked, called the decision “a major setback for the families who lost loves ones to overdose and for those still struggling with addiction.” In a statement, he said that “victims have been abandoned by every branch of the government.”
The second #SCOTUS ruling is on Harrington v. Purdue #Pharma. The high court is reversing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, blocking a controversial bankruptcy plan that would have provided billions of dollars to help address the nation’s #opioid crisis in exchange for protecting the #Sackler family that owns the company from future lawsuits.

#SCOTUS justices seemed divided on Mon over a bankruptcy settlement for #PurduePharma that would funnel billions to address the #opioid epidemic in exchange for shielding members of the wealthy #Sackler family from related #civil #lawsuits.
The #DOJ US Trustee Prgm, had challenged the deal, saying that it violated #federal #law by guaranteeing such wide-ranging #legal #immunity for the Sacklers.
" ...the release from liability covers more than just the Sacklers. It also includes lots of other Sackler acolytes, from their lawyers to consultants, doctors, even former Sen. Luther Strange, who was a Purdue lobbyist after leaving the Senate. "None of them have to pay a dime," he observers, but all of them would be released from liability in the deal."
