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.
See now, how the heck would I keep up with what phrases the cool kids are using these days, were it not for TPM’s intrepid reporting staff?
Speaking of language matters, I found this recent 1A program to be an interesting counterpoint.
God placed all those fake fossils in thousands of feet of fake sedimentary layers to test our faith.
Any word out of Maryland (IIRC?) on GenBio’s suit against the FDA? Requesting that the FDA follow the law to revoke approval of its product seems pretty straightforward- again underlining how bonkers the fifth circuit’s “compromise “ is
That god is a real trickster.
Very satisfying read, Kate. Thank you.
To test our faith?
I thought Jesus needed dinosaurs to ride between the scattered human communities he was proselytizing.
Well, He sure fooled His true believers.
I liked the use of that word here. Rinsed and hopefully, hung out to dry.
Agreed. Two articulate, coherent pages, and no need to do background research. I’ll take it.
I didn’t think SCOTUS would dump this case on standing out of the gate, but it may be worth it to them to get Kaszmaryk’s name out of their courtroom for good… on this subject anyway.
Pollyanna out.
I appreciate this guy.
I wonder how long before he gets excoriated for being ‘woke’ and a danger to society to the point where he starts getting threats against him and his loved ones?
May’ve even already started.
But good for him for calling a spade a shovel and smacking that idiot over the head with it several times.
Enjoy it until the coming turd from the SC…
Expect it’s release after evening news time…
Unless Sammy leaks a draft early
Really it will just mean they got ahead of the coming state legislatures banning these drugs ensuring '24 is over before it starts
Sort of reminiscent of National Lampoon’s Son O’ God comix.
“transire popcorn”, according to Google translate. Popcorn … or even corn (aka maize) was unknown back in Roman days.
I see your comment is trying to address the scale of the problem - should put fin to any further arguments…
Don’t you mean anti-women!
This is where a balanced and a non-idological Supreme Court steps in. Sorry!!
True story - when I was working on my ugrad degree (CompSci), I was mostly surrounded by like-minded scientific types, so was astounded one day when somebody made an off-hand comment about how old the world was and then a friend of a friend who was visiting us geeks made a reply questioning whether the earth was really as old as some people claimed. I thought he was joking, so pointed out that the geological record showed clearly things went back for millions of years. His reply? “Well, God could have put all that there to challenge our faith”.
This was my first face-to-face run-in with a true evangelical believer type, little was I to know how many more awaited me over the next 40 years! 
I was very excited to hear we had Judge Savage on our side until I realized I had misread the headline.
