The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground.

SCOTUS ducked this issue in a way that will disappoint both sides. There are now conflicting appellate court decisions regarding the ability of states to block PP or any other organization from receiving Medicare funds. This is exactly the situation that calls for resolution by the high court.
Just pray none of the ‘Pub nominations turn out to be another Souter. That is the scariest of all possibilities.
Kavanaugh pulls a Kennedy.
You surprised?
It never ceases to amaze me that for all the political talk that goes on within this forum how BADLY some of you understand the game that is politics.
More to the point, this case wasn’t even heard much less tried. This failed a Certiori grant, meaning it can be brought again.
Ruling against Abortion is going to happen eventually and we have to hope it’s basis is on such strong ground legally and constitutionally that it won’t be over-ruled easily or else we are just wasting time.
I must say that I was hoping for better. I am not surprised with our liberal Chief justice. He showed his colors a long time ago.

And that is why he sailed right through his nomination process, not only to the SC, but straight to Chief Justice.

“Who ever claims they didnt know this would happen is foolish.”
George W. Bush fighting for Kavanaugh was a BIG clue that Kavanaugh was GOPe. I have no idea who convinced President Trump to nominate him rather then a tried and true conservative.
By not taking up the case, they DECIDED to let the lower court’s ruling stand.
There are no “Federal dollars”. There are only dollars the Feds confiscate from the people through taxation.
A potential justices religious affiliation is part of the picture, but it doesnt tell the whole story and may even be misleading.
The task of a justice is to interpret the Constitution and other laws. We often say that justices shouldnt legislate from the bench. They shouldnt bend the law. They shouldnt declare an act of the legislature unconstitutional just because they dont agree with it. They should try to find out what the text meant when it was adopted.
A justices religious faith may influence how he will decide abortion and religious freedom cases. But as far as abortion is concerned, a pro-life justice who is an originalist wont say that states must ban abortions.
In many cases religious values offer no immediate answer. What is the Baptist view of the Second Ammendment? What is the Presbyterian view of the Fourth Ammendment?
What about Harriet Miers? She gave that infamous speech, full of progressive views, after she supposedly became born-again.
Dammit, there’s no hope. Like a famous website says, “Don’t think you can vote your way out of this.”
why would Kav vote to hear
a case he knows he will lose?

...and the lower court's ruling was??
Why did God send his only son, knowing he would get tortured and killed? Theres no pick your battles in the fight for life.
It is less than that, given the amendment of the Constitution.
Thank you
