Right-Wing Justices Toss Scraps To Anti-Abortion Movement While Unable To Embrace Its Shoddy Argument

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

For this Supreme Court to reject abortion restrictions, the argument has to be pretty bad.

-snip-

Hawley on Tuesday was at times buried by a bipartisan dogpile as the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Barrett and even Clarence Thomas joined the liberals in questioning the group’s standing to bring the challenge and the nationwide restrictions it’s seeking.

Justice Samuel Alito, one of the most doggedly devoted members of the bench to reverse engineering even doily-like arguments into his preferred outcome, tried valiantly to put a gloss on the anti-abortion case.

Is the FDA “infallible?” he challenged the government. Isn’t it “obvious” that lifting multiple restrictions at once may have a different effect in combination, he mused, parroting the anti-abortion group’s argument. He sneered that the manufacturer of branded mifepristone’s injury is just monetary — a refreshingly dismissive take on corporate interest from a right-wing judge.

1. I'm skeptical of the right wing justices motives on this argument

The goal is not to outlaw abortion. The goal is to keep trump out of jail. Outlaw this drug and trumps judges will guarantee a landslide for Dark Brandon. Witch doctors Alito and thomas boxed the court in with their garbage Dobbs decision. Now they’ve become tightrope walkers. Certainly not justices in the highest court in the land.

2. I'm honestly surprised that the RW Justices didn't find a way to

contort and distort the Constitution (like they did in Dobbs) not only to outlaw mifepristone, but to go Full Monty and declare abortion is unlawful.

I'm certain though we will find such "legal reasoning" in the dissents of Alito and Thomas.
