The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to maintain the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion drug Mifepristone and the co-hosts of "The View" were shocked to hear that it was a unanimous decision.

All justices agreed that the doctors complaining about the drug didn't have standing to bring the case because they didn't use the drug in their practices and were instead only basing the case on their own personal objections.

The reference is to the reports that Justice Samuel Alito's wife was responsible for flying an upside-down American flag and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag, both of which were symbolic flags flown during the Jan. 6 attacks on Congress.

A recording of Martha Ann Alito by a progressive activist released this week showed that she was also angry about the pride flags she said she had to look at while staying at their beach house.
