A federal judge has denied an attempt by Republican officials in West Virginia to pause a maker of mifepristone’s lawsuit against them Friday, taking the opportunity to thoroughly rinse his colleague in Texas, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk.
Judge Kasmaryck, meet Judge Cannon. You make a wonderful couple. And you’ve brought so much attention to your little one-judge enclaves of the federal judiciary. To paraphrase the old blues lyric, “if it wasn’t for judge-shopping, you’d have no work at all.”
Me too. They’ll figure out a way to cut the baby in half and piss off everybody, which Roberts will then claim that it’s proof that they’re doing a good job.
He then slipped in some extremely pointed criticism, writing that Kacsmaryk’s decision “has been met with broad criticism from legal commentators. Therefore, the Court accords that opinion little weight.”
A pity Kacsmaryk’s incapacity for shame makes his consequent resignation unlikely.
Assuming that the Evil Supremes will further revoke women’s autonomy, I hope they don’t jump the line to grab Kacsmaryk’s case. Would be great to have many more judicial rulings like this on the books before they create another new original-intent.
