The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.
The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.
The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.
That’s a rightwing lie about what the Court is supposed to do. The high court may rule on appeals from the state’s highest court’s decision and any federal court’s decision. Virtually all modern First Amendment freedom is ”courtmade law,” likewise for the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Fourteenth. Miranda rights are “court made,” exclusionary rule.
Conservatives love it too. They love them some court made “government contractor defense,” in which the originalst textualist Justoce Scalia extended the federal government’s sovereign immunity to defense contractors based on no statute or constitution.
Scotus isn’t being called to pass upon the legality of medication, it is being called to pass upon the legality of the federal substantive and procedural due process given to stakeholders in the administrative rulemaking process. It’s very much a constitutional issue, insomuch as due process, notice, and comment, are prerequisites to Constitutional due process. Sort of seems like you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Originally, I thought you were a troll, but I think you are sincere. It seems that we largely agree on what the court is supposed to do. However, I think you may have misunderstood my statements and the role of the Supreme Court.
Granted, I’m not a Con Law scholar, so I might be wrong. So if you have a hobbyist interest like I do, I’d suggest two podcasts: Opening Arguments, and “What Can Trump Teach Us About Con Law”. Both are well researched, entertaining, and informative.
