In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court allows Texas' 6-week abortion ban to take effect [View all]FBaggins

The court didn't issue a denial of the emergency motion (which might have included a list of those who dissented)... it was just silent.
Technically - this leaves open the possibility of a "shadow docket" answer in the coming days. Perhaps there's a denial coming, but one of the dissenting justices is still writing a scathing dissent (the response to the emergency appeal was filed just a day or so ago). Or perhaps they intend to approve the emergency request but need a couple of days to write up the decision (there would almost have to be an explanation given that context).
