ACLU and others had file emergency appeal to block law from taking place
To be perfectly clear, I am not a fan of these particular laws and I certainly believe that there is enough legal precedent for the courts to rule against Texas in this situation. Generally the legal rule of thumb has been an allowance to restrict abortions after viability (or when a fetus can survive as a baby outside the whom). Most of these viability laws restrict abortions after 20-24 weeks, although technology has made viability earlier and earlier.
But recently we have seen quite a few of these "heartbeat" laws that will restrict abortions to the time prior to a heartbeat (or approximately 6 weeks). I believe that there at least 8-10 states that have attempted or are currently attempting this. Some have been blocked by Federal Judges and some have cases pending.
At the end of the day, the USSC may decide to strike these down or they may decide to allow these States to move forward. Such is the nature of the beast. You live by the courts (Roe v Wade) and eventually you die by the courts. Technically none of these laws are pure violations of Roe v Wade which forbids the banning of abortions. What they do is tend to undermine previous rulings that have use of that benchmark decision to overturn laws that overly limit rather than outright ban abortion.
Six weeks is cutting it rather thin here folks. It may be difficult to even know you are pregnant at six weeks. But I guess if your belief is that abortion is murder, then the idea of a heartbeat is going to certainly add fuel to that belief.
The fact that there are five judges who did not want to block these laws while litigation is pending is possibly a sign that they believe these laws might pass legal muster. I would say that the 5-4 decision here might be a real harbinger. I bring this up objectively while neither cheering or booing what is currently taking place.

Once again misogyny and bias wins for the Old white man party......Even Roberts is now a realist instead of the trump bigots on the court!!!!
I've always been a fan of codifying Roe into law at the state level, for two reasons -
One, in '73 it was a stretch to even pass Roe on a constitutional basis. Scalia often challenged anyone to show him where the right to an abortion exists within our US Constitution, and i can see why. It doesn't exist and never had before Roe.
Second, returning it to the states seems to me to be an acceptable compromise. NY codified abortion into law at the state level pre-emptively in the event of the over-turning of Roe. For the pro-abortionists, that seemed perfectly reasonable to me.
Ultimately on this and many other issues the balkanization of the nation continues. And I'm ok with it. Pro-lifers should have somewhere they can move to where the law is on their side. Same with the pro-abortionists. Vote with your feet and move to where your views are supported by the laws in place in that state.
It's good news that you are listening to me.

I have always been troubled with abortion but I generally don't think that the government should have power over a women's body. But Unless the child has serious health issues, third trimester abortions should be banned. Because the child is a viable, the infant who has Constitutional rights to life.
The child or the mother.
Unless the child or mother has serious health issues, third trimester abortions should be banned.
It gets tricky but objectively I feel for the child.

but I generally don't think that the government should have power over a women's body.
Yet you would favor a federal vaccine mandate.
Before 1973 women had to pay to travel to different states. I actually knew a friend who got pregnant at 17.
Her parents had to take her to another state.
I'm still friends with her and her sister.
She was very beautiful and I had a crush on her but she is several years younger, I never hit on her.. Her father would have kicked my ass off!
Two separate issues.
Vaccinated people rarely transmit the covid-19 virus to infect other people. The government has the right to protect others from others.
Abortion rights are on the mother of the child.
But you are unable to separate the issues.
You can't drive 100mph because you want to! And endanger others.

Liberty University's COVID-19 count triples in a week
The News & Advance, Lynchburg
LYNCHBURG — Numbers released Wednesday show Liberty University’s confirmed COVID-19 case count has more than tripled since it reached a record high last week.
Liberty now has 488 confirmed cases on campus — 430 of them students and 58 of them faculty and staff. That’s compared with 159 cases last week and a record high last year of 141 confirmed cases.
The university announced a campuswide “quarantine” last week, following the first few days of classes. It later reworded its website to call the measure a “temporary mitigation period.” That entails online classes, while hands-on learning environments such as labs and flight training would see “re-introduction of mitigation measures” that were not specified in a news release, and a suspension of large indoor gatherings.
Unlike most other colleges in Virginia, Liberty isn’t mandating masking or vaccination.
Photos on the school’s Instagram account showed a packed convocation at the Vines Center as classes started back up last week, before the mitigation period was announced. Photos of Liberty’s College Republicans club meeting Monday, held off campus at GOP gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin’s headquarters nearby, showed attendees in close quarters without masks on.
Questions sent to a Liberty spokesperson were not immediately answered Wednesday, including questions about reports its quarantine annex is full.
______________
BROTHER. IS THERE NO END TO THIS INSANITY?
I have a former parishoner whose granddaughter is attending Liberty and I immediately called her. She tells me that her granddaughter recently tested positive and is now quarantined, NOT ON CAMPUS, but in a privately rented hotel room.
She was vaccinated, on her own, and will likely recover from the sniffles, aches, and pains she now has, but she is angered that the University put her in a room with two other students, one a girl from California who doesn't believe in vaccinations, etc.
Brother.

Firefighters against mandatory Covid vaccinations
Three in Washington, DC explain why they don't want the vaccine - or mandates
Alex Berenson
Sep 2
A firefighter in Washington, DC recently contacted me about the city’s plans to require all firefighters to be vaccinated against Covid or fired. “That was my line in the sand,” he wrote. “I've been quiet throughout this whole COVID-19 nonsense but now I'm speaking out.”
Washington firefighters are also emergency medical technicians or paramedics, so a city order requiring health-care workers to receive at least one vaccine dose by September 30 covers them.
The deadline is four weeks from today. Hundreds of firefighters are trying to decide what to do.
The anti-mandate firefighters estimate that about 40 percent of the department has not been vaccinated. Without them, the department will barely be able to function and will likely have to go to what firefighters call a three- or two-platoon system.
Normally, the department works on a four-platoon system, meaning firefighters work one 24-hour shift and then have three days off. In a three-platoon system, they have two days off, and in a two-platoon, they have only one day to recover after each 24-hour shift.
“It's pretty much insanity to try to do that long-term, it's reserved for emergencies,” the firefighter wrote. But because the process of hiring and training new firefighters takes so long, the department would have little choice.
So why are these firefighters - who as EMTs treated many people with Covid firsthand - so opposed to being required to take the vaccine?
I sent along questions, which three firefighters answered - a relatively junior paramedic, an EMT with about a decade of experience, and a long-serving captain. Here are their answers. I have cut for space but otherwise left them unchanged.
1) What are the main reasons that people are hesitant to get the vaccine?
Captain: Many of us have had Covid and according to the latest science, are anywhere from 6.5 to 13 times less likely to contract the Delta variant than a solely vaccinated person. At this rate, the more major threat would then be from the rare side effects of a new and still very early vaccine.
Others also have a religious objection. All of the current vaccines were developed utilizing tissue from aborted fetal tissue. A lot of firefighters are religious people and feel very strongly about this aspect…
There is also the general mistrust of an obviously rushed process from a government that is not always honest (to say the least) and has a history of exploiting certain groups of people in medical experimentation… Many also worry about what happens next if this is allowed, what will our employers force on us next as a condition of being able to provide for our families?
2) Healthcare workers and first responders appear to be refusing the vaccine at higher rates than the general public. What should the rest of us make of that hesitancy?
Paramedic: We are not afraid. We put our lives at risk every day. We’ve worked through the pandemic when most others were staying home. We see first-hand that very few healthy, active individuals are getting severely ill with Covid-19.
Like many other health emergencies we respond to, weight and other comorbidities play a huge role in your risk of getting severely ill or dying from Covid-19. Due to the demands of our job, most of us are active healthy individuals. We should be allowed to determine if not being vaccinated is a risk that we are comfortable taking.
3) The media generally portrays Covid vaccine refusal as a political issue. Do you think that's true? Are you all or mostly conservatives/Republicans?
EMT: While we have no idea of the political leaning all of those who aren’t vaccinated, we can say that among those of us organizing the opposition, there are those who hold polar opposite political beliefs and ordinarily would have little in common.
Captain: We represent a diverse population and a good reflection of the city's demographics. I know of liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike in our group and everything in between. Gay, straight, Black, white, Hispanic, and Asian. I'd say this has been a very unifying event and shows the true brotherhood/sisterhood that the fire department culture encompasses.
4) Do you know people who have become very ill or died from COVID?
Captain: Yes, I know a couple. I also know perfectly healthy people that were hospitalized and one that may soon die from the vaccine alone. This is why it should be a personal choice. I am not anti-vaccine. I, like most here, are anti-mandate.
5) Do you know people who have become very ill or died after receiving the vaccine?
Captain: I do, see previous answer. My mother is one, she has had persistent pain throughout her body ever since her 2nd shot. She is older and of the high risk group. I supported her decision to get the vaccine and still do. I believe her biggest risk is from covid.
6) What do you think will happen if the city does not back down on the mandate?
Paramedic: If we stick together, we don’t think that the city can fire hundreds of us. If they are able to scare the numbers down to less than 100, they will probably fire us. We are already short-staffed and having to work mandatory overtime. Firing dozens of firefighters would make the department shift to a two- or three-platoon system where people would have to work significantly more than we already are.
Captain: Going to the reduced manpower model the fire chief states would exponentially diminish service after a few weeks at most. The remaining firefighters and medics will be crushed under the workload, disruptions in their lives (finding daycare more often, kids in school, etc.) and either leave or suffer mentally to the point they are no longer mission effective. How would this serve the citizens better? It wouldn't and once it happens, undoing it will take a long time. Recruiting and training takes a very long time and is very expensive, especially when you have a very unattractive work schedule and leadership. This doesn't even address the loss of experience and leadership that cannot be substituted overnight.
Ask yourself this. If you or a loved one suffer a medical emergency, severe car accident, fire or a terrorist event, who would you rather have; a firefighter and or medic with years of experience and possibly not vaccinated or a brand new or very new responder that is definitely vaccinated?

Biden Blasts ‘Unprecedented Assault’ on Abortion Rights
President Biden condemned the Supreme Court’s decision to allow Texas’ ban on most abortions to remain in place as “an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights,” pledging to launch a “whole-of-government” effort to protect access to safe and legal abortion in the state.
Bloomberg reports that the lurch to the right may imperil the attraction of Texas
“In the past decade, Texas attracted almost 4 million people and a cavalcade of employers thanks to low taxes, lax regulation and thriving cities.
“But a defiant attitude toward Covid restrictions, new limits on voting access and now the nation’s strictest abortion law could undermine its appeal for future moves.”

Statement by President Joe Biden on Supreme Court Ruling on Texas Law SB8
SEPTEMBER 02, 2021STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The Supreme Court’s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost fifty years. By allowing a law to go into effect that empowers private citizens in Texas to sue health care providers, family members supporting a woman exercising her right to choose after six weeks, or even a friend who drives her to a hospital or clinic, it unleashes unconstitutional chaos and empowers self-anointed enforcers to have devastating impacts. Complete strangers will now be empowered to inject themselves in the most private and personal health decisions faced by women. This law is so extreme it does not even allow for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. And it not only empowers complete strangers to inject themselves into the most private of decisions made by a woman—it actually incentivizes them to do so with the prospect of $10,000 if they win their case. For the majority to do this without a hearing, without the benefit of an opinion from a court below, and without due consideration of the issues, insults the rule of law and the rights of all Americans to seek redress from our courts. Rather than use its supreme authority to ensure justice could be fairly sought, the highest Court of our land will allow millions of women in Texas in need of critical reproductive care to suffer while courts sift through procedural complexities. The dissents by Chief Justice Roberts, and Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan all demonstrate the error of the Court’s action here powerfully.
While the Chief Justice was clear to stress that the action by the Supreme Court is not a final ruling on the future of Roe, the impact of last night’s decision will be immediate and requires an immediate response. One reason I became the first president in history to create a Gender Policy Council was to be prepared to react to such assaults on women’s rights. Hence, I am directing that Council and the Office of the White House Counsel to launch a whole-of-government effort to respond to this decision, looking specifically to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to see what steps the Federal Government can take to ensure that women in Texas have access to safe and legal abortions as protected by Roe, and what legal tools we have to insulate women and providers from the impact of Texas’ bizarre scheme of outsourced enforcement to private parties.
They are thinking about introducing a law to protect Roe v Wade rights.
But it doesn't have a chance.

Roger - but I generally don't think that the government should have power over a women's body.

You miss the point, Rat.
He only favors mandatory vaccines for men. As he states, the Government should not have power over a woman.
The Supreme Court’s ruling overnight is an unprecedented assault on a woman’s constitutional rights under Roe v. Wade, which has been the law of the land for almost fifty years.
And herein lies the issue.
It's not a law and never has been a law.
It was a court decision and like every court decision a different court will see things differently. Even to the degree that it is a court decision it only prevents states from banning (not limiting) abortion.
Isn't it generally liberals who talk about how the country changes and the laws and courts and even the constitution needs to change with it? Pretty sure that is how the three remaining liberals on the court justify ignoring nearly ever precedent that they don't like to vote for political issues that they do like.
Apparently everything (including the constitution) is a living document subject to change... except Roe v Wade?? Sorry it doesn't work that way.
You cannot have it both ways and there is nothing anywhere that suggests that either liberalism or conservatism will corner the market in terms of where our country heads.
Rat is exactly right. This needed to be codified into law at some point in time. But it hasn't and probably will not be, because there simply isn't the overall support to get 60 Senators to pass abortions laws at a national level.
The issue of abortion has never gone away.
just wonder that a female Justice will have a problem with the six week restriction.
I know one that would not. I also some women who were politically pro-choice but were uncomfortable with abortion and believe it was murder.
Then they got really uncomfortable when I pointed out they were for a right to commit murder.
Can't be for abortion and against murder. It is morally and logically contradictory.
MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance claimed Thursday that the recently implemented Texas abortion law was unconstitutional because it "violates prior Supreme Court precedent."
Nobody has told this bimbo that if we follow her logic then every state anti-discrimination law passed between Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Educationwould have been declare unconstitutional.
It was a court decision and like every court decision
A bad legal decision to achieve a political end.
We are about to see in Texas whether those "woman's reproductive centers" are really for woman's reproductive health or were just abortion mills.
When the law prevails those that are abortion mills will fold like a cheap suit.
This needed to be codified into law at some point in time.
This has always been the point. Roe is NOT law. Not at the federal level anyway. the left has enjoyed their ability to abort a child based upon a ruling, not law.
Texas has as much right to pass their anti-abortion law as NY has to pass their pro-abortion law.
Want unfettered access to abortion? Move to a state that has passed a law in favor. And respect those who have not.
It's called 'the consent of the governed' at the state level. Deal with it.
We are about to see in Texas whether those "woman's reproductive centers" are really for woman's reproductive health or were just abortion mills.
Wait until Planned Parenthood starts squealing. They've been saying for years that abortion was a just tiny part of the services they provide. It will be fun holding up a glaring light to that lie.
Statement by President Joe Biden on Supreme Court Ruling on Texas Law SB8
It's obvious that Biden finished near the bottom of his Syracuse U. law school class.
He was wrong on every salient point he tried to make.
Governor Abbott has joined the Muslim brotherhood and believes in Sharia laws on how women must be dressed.
A new bill moving swiftly through the Republican-controlled Texas legislature would institute a strict statewide dress code for women.
Governor Greg Abbott, a vehement supporter of the bill, said that the dress code would benefit women because “it will give them one less thing to think about when they get up in the morning.” If men are sexually attracted to women who have exposed their cleavage, they can't resist rape!
“I believe in the sanctity of human life, and the best way to protect that life, in the case of a woman, is to free her from the stress of having to choose what to wear,” Abbott said.
The President has allowed Sharia law because he withdrew from Afghanistan!
You are a path liar.

If you don't want the Court system to basically repeal or approve laws, repeal Marbury vs. Madison.
The USSC does not "repeal or approve" laws, alky.
The USSC simply rules on the constitutionality of laws passed by the legislature. Period. This is how you got your blessed 0linsky-care. In substance it was one of the shittiest laws ever passed, and the sleight of hand used to pass it was fucking disgusting.
But it passed constitutional muster.
Justice Alito:
"In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas’s law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts."
So in this case the USSC refused to act on this by a 5-4 ruling. let the Texas state courts begin the process of challenging and escalating. If their challenges make it to the USSC, then the USSC will then decide to hear it at all. And if they do they will rule on the constitutionality.
There's policy and procedure in play here as well as the law. You don't get to skip around the rules, and they're not written on an a la carte` menu where you can pick one and reject another.
If you ever had any doubt about who the bad guys are, just look at leftists convulsing in spittle-flecked rage like demon possessed lunatics because fewer babies will be murdered in Texas. That should clarify things for you.

Importing Enemies
The demand to resettle Afghan refugees brings the war home.
By Michael Anton
September 1, 2021
Perennial Democratic White House aide, congressman, Chicago mayor, and ambassador-in-waiting Rahm Emmanuel’s sole memorable utterance—his only candidate for Bartlett’s—is his cynical 2008 maxim that the good guys (i.e., his team) must “never let a serious crisis go to waste.” He was speaking of using the financial crisis to usher in sweeping changes to law, policy, the economy, and society that would otherwise not have been possible through ordinary democratic processes.
The same logic applies now to the Democrats’—and many Republicans’—insistence that America be flooded with Afghan “refugees.” Importing as many immigrants as possible, from cultures as alien to traditional America as possible, is the ruling class’s top priority, after protecting its own wealth and power. But since importing millions upon millions of foreigners is the primary tool by which the ruling class maintains that wealth and power—by suppressing wage growth and dividing the population—it can be hard to disaggregate these two priorities.
The parallels between the two crises are obvious. Just as ruling class hubris, incompetence, dishonesty, and greed created the financial crisis, so did a similar combination produce the mess in Afghanistan. There is no need to rehash the “higher” motives for the failure here. It is worth noting, however, that lower motives were not absent: a lot of people were making a lot of money off that war.
And now, just like thirteen years ago, our rulers want to use a crisis they created as justification to ram through what they always wanted to do anyway. Which, in this case, is to resettle a hundred or two hundred thousand (the number varies depending on who’s speaking) foreigners with no tradition of liberty—who are indeed from a culture deeply alien, even hostile to, Western civilizational norms—in your communities.
The justification for this is already being trumpeted: we must save our “allies,” translators and such, who helped us throughout our twenty-year failed experiment. This argument, though offered in bad faith, is effective because the vast majority of Americans consider abandoning an ally to a deadly enemy dishonorable.
Mooslimbs and other non Christian groups like in the late 19th century when the Chinese immigrants built the railroad system in the west coast area
They don't remember when Reagan's allowed hundreds of people of color from Mexico.
I remember the right wing radio shows just started.

Anton has it exactly correct. We will import several hundred thousand stone age savages who bring with them a completely repressive culture replete with honor killings, beheadings, female genital mutilation, and a penchant for waging jihad.
These fucking savages will be un-vetted, since it's impossible to check a background that's been recorded exactly nowhere.
Those we can verify as having honorably served our military should be checked and allowed in. But those number in the hundreds, not tens of thousands.
If we must bring in hundreds of thousands of potentially violent savages, let them settle in Bethesda/Alexandria, The Upper West Side, Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket, Beverly Hills & Brentwood, and The Hamptons.
Let those who are so anxious to import this shit live among this shit. And leave the rest of us the fuck alone.

I remember it like it was yesterday, alky. And I was fucking furious about it, and about how he got rolled - AGAIN - by congressional democrats.
And by the way, you continue to fucking SWOON in favor of how FDR locked up Japanese-Americans in fucking cages, but today, us not wanting to inadvertently import several thousand jihadists is seen as some form of bigotry.
It's common fucking sense.
I hear you're in the market for a new room mate. How's about having Medicaid Acres slam a few bunk beds into your hovel and you take a half-dozen, eh?

Funny how now Biden cares about women and their freedoms. Afghan women need not apply.
It's also funny watching him and Peloshee as they pound their "devout Catholicism" square pegs into those "Abortion" round holes.
As we've witnessed over the past few weeks, democrats can always be counted on to betray ALL Americans, from the unborn to the deceased.
“I am absolutely appalled and literally horrified we left Americans there,” one administration official told POLITICO. “It was a hostage rescue of thousands of Americans in the guise of a NEO [noncombatant evacuation operations], and we have failed that no-fail mission.”

But let's bring in a few hundred fucking thousand fucking jihadists.
Brilliant.
Not true. They let the dead vote.
Funny how you righties don't give a shit about american women and are suddenly worried about the refugee women from Afghan!!!!!! BTW....the walking dead of the GOP have been voting for years....like you ballz......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Seems to me you righties think having a bounty on american women in texas if they have an abortion should show all how stupid white american men are.....maybe they should carry guns also!!!!! Sad you assholes treat women as chattel!!!! No wonder why rat and lil schitty are multiple time losers with women!!!!
The first cogent opinion about the texas law.....Sad commentary about the state of our nations politics when everyone is empowered to enforce the law instead of the state.....You could construe that is the first step to trump becoming a dear leader like korea and you assholes would all ask for another!!!!! In no way do I think the court is correct, but at least I now understand the fucked up logic!!!!
d devise novel solutions. But a court can only act if there is an identifiable defendant whose acts could cause an identifiable plaintiff harm contrary to law.
Most legislatures that have sought to limit legal abortion contrary to Roe v. Wade have run afoul of this because the laws they passed made the state the agent of enforcement. The state could thus be enjoined by a court from enforcing the law given its presumptive unconstitutionality. The Texas law, however, avoids this by placing the exclusive authority to enforce the law in the hands of private citizens who could sue abortion providers in civil actions. Therefore, there are no governmental defendants who have the power to harm
Hey BWAA, see if there's an on-line course that teaches you how to follow a thread. If there's a fee maybe we can take up a collection for you.
maybe they should carry guns also!!!!!
They should. Texas has constitutional carry, genius. And an armed society is a polite society.
The Three Socialist Stooges are in a baby murdering cult.
Biden is a Dog abuser.
The trump spawn just as fucked up as daddy.....putting the fun in dysfunctional families!!!!!! Hope he takes it up his stupid ass!!!!!
Judge rebukes Donald Trump Jr. for misinformation — as Trump Jr. doubles down
A West Virginia judge ruled that a lawsuit against Trump Jr. can proceed because there is evidence he knowingly shared false and potentially defamatory information.

The productivity of U.S. workers improved by less than initially thought in the second quarter and real hourly compensation fell by more than reported earlier, the Labor Department said on Thursday."

The amount of sputum and bullshit emanating from the goat fuckers ass never ceases to amaze me....I can't understand why his wife never left....she must be blind dumb and a bowling ball......BWAAAAAAA!!!!
Wheeee we may have armed Iran. You go, Dementia Joe
Reports and images on social media received from Iran indicate that tanks and military vehicles which belonged to the Afghan army were seen in Tehran and other parts of Iran.
Photos have emerged showing armored Humvees being transported from the eastern parts of the country toward Tehran, on the Semnan-Garmsar road.
Besmallah Mohammadi, a former Afghan defense ministry official published one of the photos referring to Iran as a “bad neighbor” and saying Afghanistan misfortune will not last forever.
Iran had promised to resume fuel deliveries to Afghanistan last week, which the Taliban need to prevent a collapse in the economy. Tehran has adopted a friendly posture toward the Taliban, unlike past relations which were marked by tensions.
Iranian officials have not yet reacted to the news. However, if Iran has made a deal with the Taliban to receive some of the American military hardware given to the Afghan army or left behind, it would claim a big victory against the United States.
The reports received so far are brief and there is no information about the kind and quantity of hardware delivered to Iran.
BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!!! IRAN INTERNATIONAL SHORTY?????? ABOUT AS CREDIBLE AND BELIEVABLE AS YOU!!!! LOLOLOL>>>>All thanx to your hero Busch and trump....
Aww fatty I knew you go there

Try to keep up you fatfuck
Let us see, now... The Catholic church is opposed to capital punishment, so why aren't Catholics coming out against Trump on that issue?
If you are looking for a way to make money on abortion, you should move to Texas. Not by giving an abortion.
The Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy includes an unusual measure designed to ensure the law is enforced: Residents of the state can sue
Let's say you meet a woman who you know and like. But in an emotional situation, she tells you that her father had raped her, and she got an abortion. You can actually sue the cab driver or the Lyft driver for $10,000. And if you win the case the Lyft driver has to pay the legal fees.
Even the clinics, doctors, nurses and even people who drive a woman to get the procedure, for at least $10,000.
Today’s supreme court majority is a group of knee-jerk conservatives whose intellectual leader (to the extent they have one) is Samuel Alito, perhaps the most conceptually rigid and cognitively dishonest justice since Chief Justice Roger Taney.
Five of today’s supreme court majority were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote; three of them by a president who instigated a coup against the United States.
The authority of the supreme court derives entirely from Americans’ confidence and trust in it. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers 78, the judiciary has “neither the sword” (the executive branch’s power to compel action) “or the purse” (the Congress’s power to appropriate funds).
The court I was privileged to argue before almost 50 years ago had significant moral authority. It protected the less powerful with arguments that resonated with the core values of the nation. Americans didn’t always agree with its conclusions, but they respected it.
Today’s cruel and partisan supreme court is squandering what remains of its moral authority.
Robert Reich
The U.S. Supreme Court won’t block a Texas law that allows private individuals to sue to enforce a ban on abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy – before many women are even aware they’re pregnant. The law went into effect Wednesday, September 1.
It’s the most restrictive abortion law in the country, imposing a huge burden on women without the means or money to travel to another state where later abortions are legal.
It’s also a sign that the Republican-appointed justices, who now hold six of nine seats on the Court, are ready to overturn the Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, striking down anti-abortion laws across the nation as violating a woman’s right to privacy under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution.
Last week the Court held that Biden’s moratorium on evictions was illegal. A few days before, it refused to stay a lower court decision that people seeking asylum at the southern border must remain in Mexico until their cases are heard – often subjecting them to great hardship or violence.
What links these cases? Cruelty toward the powerless.
