In Ominous Sign, Supreme Court Takes Up Emergency Room Abortion Case

The Supreme Court announced Friday that it would take up a case centered on abortion care in emergency medical situations, leapfrogging the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which was scheduled to hear arguments later this month.

leapfrogging the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which was scheduled to hear arguments later this month.

This court can jump a circuit court because they MUST stop women from making choices over their own bodies, but thinks they have plenty of time to let the DC circuit to rule on the issue of whether the president has absolute immunity beflre they can do anything.

How sad and ironic.

This Supreme Court has become the “DEATH PANELS” that Republicans smeared Obamacare with.

I have one disagreement with the article:

The Supreme Court likely would have gotten involved in the case eventually, either on appeal from the appellate courts, or to resolve a circuit split, should the 9th Circuit have ultimately ruled differently than the 5th. But the way it did so — skipping over the 9th Circuit and reimposing the Idaho ban for the duration — does not bode well for the Biden administration.

I think what the Supreme Court did, especially reimposing the Idaho Ban for the duration of its deliberations, bodes very well for the Biden administration especially in regard to November 5th, 2024.

It takes five votes to grant or lift a stay, so the Fascist Five are dead-set on letting states kill women with crisis pregnancies. Just in time for election season!

Well, yes, until it actually happens. It certainly didn’t with the ACA, but just to be sure…
VOTE!

Always projecting. The only game they play.

I vehemently disagree.

Surely, they’d call it the “Broads”, “Dames” or “Skirts are only vessels for child-bearing” decision.

Well, to be fair(and balanced), Republicans have mastered the art of projection.

If these big decisions come out 6-3 the Supreme Court has lost all validity. Don’t think that John Roberts doesn’t know that. More pressure on him than anyone.

Can you break it down for those without a law degree?

The mullahs will issue their fatwa and the american fascist cult will rejoice that their crueltry and hatred of women will be sanctified. Until November, that is, because it will not stand.

We need the the House, the Senate, and the White House and the hubris of the fascist cult and their council of mullahs will help us take them all.

You’re too kind. Those Supreme Misogynists would name it “The bitches got what they deserved” meaning who cares if they die.

I don’t think they’ve lost their validity (aka authority), but they have certainly forfeited their legitimacy, again, (see Bush v Gore) if that’s possible.

No, and as they say, the judiciary has neither the power of the purse (that’s the legislative branch) nor the sword (i.e. Executive branch). Ultimately the power of the judiciary is based on a broad public acceptance that their decisions are based on the facts and the law, and not partisan politics. Sadly, tragically, that ship has sailed.

Why would they reimpose the ban and make NO exceptions in emergency circumstances? These people are supposed to be pro-life, which they are NOT. They’re pro-birth, and after that to hell with the infant and mother/family.

I guess they can get it back if they care. Maybe the newest ones will step up.

Bastards.

Keep it in the news … keep it on the 11/24 ballot, fuckers.

Dobbs was starting to lose its effectiveness in driving people to the polls. This little reminder should help.
