Opinions authored by Scalia, Breyer on HB 2 downloadable

The Supreme Court’s Tuesday decision that keeps in place the Texas law passed last summer restricting abortions may be read in detail online.

The concurring opinion, authored by Justice Antonin Scalia, and the dissenting view, authored by Justice Stephen Breyer, are accessible here: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/relatingtoorders.aspx.

A news story will follow later today. The law faces further vetting when the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned a federal district court’s ruling that portions of it were unconstitutional, takes it up in January. 

The TEXAN will have a news story later in the day.
