Texas judge suspends abortion pill approval

[Anonymous]

Maybe people should file to block viagra and lip fillers?
How is a judge even given this type of jurisdiction?

A Washington jugde just issued a counter injunction prohibiting the FDA from pulling it.

Op here, do judges have the jurisdiction to do stuff like this? Can they ban IUDs, hormonal birth control?
FFS

Yes, they can. Sad that there are presidents who would appoint someone who would do this, much less a senate that would approve someone who would do this.

Voting matters. A lot.

Unfortunately this counter-injunction only applies "in Plaintiff states," which is 17 of them. Some big blue states like CA, NY, NJ, MA, aren't on it.

He doesn't actually have the power to do this for a dozen procedural reasons. There's a 6 year statute of limitations on challenging FDA decisions that expired 15 plus years ago. Plus Congress specifically ratified all of the FDA's drug approval decisions prior to 2008 by statute.

Then how’d he do it? Is he just ignoring this? I feel like we’ve lost the rule of law.

I think we’re rocketing towards the point where decisions become so partisan that governments start disregarding them. Courts rely on legitimacy more than anything else, and that’s fading fast. It’s happened before, when Jackson just disregarded the court “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it”

I feel like we are losing the "United" part of the "United States of America."

We used to understand that we had certain rights as an AMERICAN -- and that those basic rights were ours regardless of where we lived or traveled in the U.S. That is no longer the case -- it's like my country has shrunk down to "my state." I am losing my sense of belonging to "the United States."

Yes, he's ignoring it. There are dozens of Trump judges out there who are issuing crazy decisions that have no basis whatsoever in law. He's one of them.

I'll add that this judge, Judge Kacsmaryk, is particularly dangerous because he sits in a "single judge division." That means that any plaintiff that files in that jurisdiction is guaranteed to get him as the judge. Most divisions have multiple judges so you don't know which one you'll get. Texas has taken advantage of this and filed lots of crazy lawsuits in his division so they can get him to issue crazy rulings in their favor. This is just the latest one.

Do you have any faith that, if brought to SCOTUS, the outcome would change? After Dobbs, it seems like we have no rule of law, no precedent, and nothing logical.
