Biden administration says disregarding abortion pill ruling would set "dangerous precedent"

[slightlv]

12. This is one I have to break with Biden on

It's much more dangerous a precedent for a federal judge in a single, chosen court... especially one who has shown he has an agenda... to do what Kacsmaryk has done.

IMO, it's simply another step in the new Confederation of states to ignore the United States and it's laws and do whatever it wants to everyone. They've been doing this for so long now, it seems like no one is seeing it's simply a ramping up of ignoring laws and precedents. What's next? How many of our rights and civil liberties are we going to allow these theological judges to strip from us? Are we simply going to allow ourselves to become a sister state with Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan? The only difference is in the name of the process. We don't do "Sharia" law. We do White Christianist Nationalist law. I, for one, am not willing to live under that. I don't understand why Biden won't take a stronger stand. I'm sorry, but as flawed as he was, I wish for an LBJ these days. Playing nice isn't going to cut it when the enemy has the knife to your throat. And just because it's us women who have the knives to our throats doesn't make it any less dangerous for everyone.

I do have a question, tho... if the ruling in Washington (?) was only for those states which brought the suit, then why wasn't Kaz's ruling only for those states whose attorneys general brought the suit? How can one court (not being the Supreme Court) rule for the entire United States? That really seems "off" to me -- like unethical, if not flat out illegal.

No, President Biden... this HAS to either be fought to a righteous conclusion or ignored. For pete's sake, we had 4 years where every law and statute was ignored that the right wing didn't like. It's time to enjoin the fight... not hold your head down and hope the institutions hold. WE are the institutions, but people like me don't have the power. That's why we elected you.

I really like Biden as a man, and as a president. In ordinary times, he'd be fantastic. And he's done well so far, but it seems like things are going off track. This "decision," and a few other environmental issues I've taken exception with. I'm not damning the man, he is MY president. But I do wish he (and the entire Democratic Congress) would present stronger against the right. Otherwise, I'm afraid we're just going to get run over.

And gods, before I read much more.... Caffeine!!!!! I'm barely ready to read "the news." (sigh)
