They aren't under the purview of SCOTUS. The lower courts are.
That's exactly what they're doing here. A lower court ruled that the FDA didn't follow it's own process when relaxing restrictions around the prescribing and dispensing of mifepristone. The loser appealed and the next highest court ruled that the FDA did follow its own process. Repeat appeals until you reach SCOTUS who is now ruling on which of the lower courts is correct. That's it.
SCOTUS is NOT ruling on whether mifepristone is legal or approved for use, it's ruling on whether a lower court followed the law when reaching its decision and whether or not that decision is consistent with the Constitution. In practical terms whichever way SCOTUS rules it's those lower courts whose authority will be used to direct (or not) whatever the FDA does next.
You see so much as "Judicial Overreach" for two reasons:
Most of what is decried as "Judicial Overreach" should more correctly be called AGENCY Overreach but its being blamed on the Judiciary.
Like this case. The problem isn't SCOTUS it's the agency known as the FDA.
