[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, do judges have the jurisdiction to do stuff like this? Can they ban IUDs, hormonal birth control?

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.[/quote]

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

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
