Supreme Court Deals Biden’s ‘Crooked’ DOJ Another Blow By Denying Attempt to Block Texas Abortion Law

The Supreme Court today dealt President Joe Biden’s “crooked” DOJ another blow by denying the latest attempt to block the Texas abortion law.

We reported earlier this month that the DOJ under Biden and ran by failed Supreme Court candidate Merrick Garland was attempting going to pick a fight with the highest court in the land.

The DOJ had asked the Supreme Court to stop the law while they examine whether they have the right to sue to stop the law in its order.

The court will not directly consider the constitutionality of the law, rather, the court said it would consider whether “the state can insulate from federal-court review a law that prohibits the exercise of a constitutional right by delegating to the general public the authority to enforce that prohibition through civil action” and can “the United States bring suit in federal court and obtain injunctive or declaratory relief against the State, state court judges, state court clerks, other state officials, or all private parties to prohibit S.B. 8 from being enforced.”

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor offered a dissention with keeping the law in place, giving the left red meat regarding the situation.

“The promise of future adjudication offers cold comfort, however, for Texas women seeking abortion care, who are entitled to relief now,” she wrote. “These women will suffer personal harm from delaying their medical care, and as their pregnancies progress, they may even be unable to obtain abortion care altogether,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissention.

Political Science professor Steven Mazie optimistically suggested in a tweet, “Interesting that neither Breyer nor Kagan signed on to Sotomayor’s partial dissent. Could be a sign the Court is inclined to find Texas’s law unconstitutional and all the justices know that’s how it’s going to come out.”

The review has been fast tracked by the court and will be done on Nov. 1 so a final answer will be happening soon enough.
