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 think it only applies to the twelve states in that lawsuit. I do not understand how Washington's decision is limited, but some backward Texas judge's decision is binding on the nation, minus those twelve states.

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.

All of us who warned you dumb fuX about Trump TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. We.Effing.Told.You.

But . . . . Hillary is not likeable.

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.

The judge disregarded the law. What else is new.

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.

No, I don't.

The US Supreme Court is CORRUPT. It has shown that it's judges can be purchased by the highest bidder. Basically there are Justices of the SCOTUS prostituting their decisions for pay

So much for sending the abortion issue back to the states and the courts getting out it. Always knew that was a lie, but this proves it.

Dunno, maybe the owner of the pharma company who makes the drug was wise enough to lend him a few planes, luxury yacths or to treat him to a few vacations on posh private resorts in the past few years, who knows, we can only hope

They came out with a plan for a national ban like two months after they said all SCOTUS wanted was to send it back to the states. This just accomplishes it even though they didn’t win the House and the Senate.

What’s to stop another judge from yanking antidepressants, cancer drugs, or basically any other medication off the market?

I mean, there’s a lot of medications with side effects a lot more severe than mifepristone.

Republicans are hurtling towards anarchy.

They also see they are losing the battle in the states. State after state is voting against them on this. The only ones that are banning abortion are the hand right states (and they've even lost a couple of those).

Because republicans don't have any bizarre opposition to those forms of healthcare. Good thing the Seventh Day Adventists don't control the republican party.

This would actually be great - yank a ton of drugs off the market and force the pharma companies to bring down the hammer.

This country is circling the drain so fast, it’s breathtaking.
