Stands to reason. If ever any sitting President had good and sufficient reason to want to keep abortion on the same legal and moral plane as, say, teenage ear piercing...
with = without
Congress needs to pass a law that allows the Senate and House thru a 2/3 majority overturn Federal court rulings. If the the courts want to legislate then let Congress have the power to judicate. RESTORE THE BALANCE.
Eeek. Sorry. I freely admit I have a problem with acronyms. And the short term memory of a gnat lately. Not a good combination.
Must not have done very well on her LSAT. She went to a top undergrad school and a third tier toilet of a law school.
"I'm no lawyer but this is impossible unless the Supreme Court has had its say in the matter. "
Apparently, the judge granted a permanent injunction, rather than a temporary one. Of course, this will go to the SCOTUS, but I wouldn't bet on a reversal.
There are a couple of issues here that the SCOTUS has considered in the past in regard to abortion law. Fourth and Fifth amendment issues are the primary ones, and their rulings have been pretty consistent.
Of course, they could simply refuse to hear the case, leaving the permanent injunction against enforcement of the PBA law in place. That's the most likely result.
Still, if judges in other federal courts rule differently than this one, it will have to go to the SCOTUS, but don't hold your breath.
Where in the US Constitution says it's legally acceptable to murder your preborn child? (crickets chirping)
It's not in the constitution!
What's hilarious is that according to pro-choice people, partial-birth abortion (oh sorry "a certain late-term procedure") simultaneously doesn't exist - a phony category made up by pro-life activists - and yet is somehow essential to a "woman's right to choose".
A woman's right to choose a procedure which doesn't exist?
A permanent injunction is only permanent until a higher court reverses it. Her ruling only has meaning within her district, although other districts can use it as precedent.
The ball continues to drop on America. It shouldn't be much longer now and it'll all be gone. Then again it might be a heck of a lot easier just to rid ourselves of some Judges/attorneys.
"Congress needs to pass a law that allows the Senate and House thru a 2/3 majority overturn Federal court rulings. If the the courts want to legislate then let Congress have the power to judicate. RESTORE THE BALANCE."
Congress cannot pass such a law and have it take any effect. A Constitutional Amendment would be required. That ain't gonna happen.
Gee, it might have been nice to have a warning on that or something.
PBA Ban Overturned - PING
Let me know if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.
Ninth Circus Courts. Worry not it will soon be overturned.
The legislature can override the judiciary any time they get the giulianis. (new term I just learned today)
Figures. What liberal judge did this?
And the tyranny of the leftist judiciary continues...
THIS is why the Second Amendment to the Constitution was written people....
Not to hunt rabbits or squirrels, but to safeguard the country and freedom from the tyranny of the government.

One man says to a second man: "Do you believe in the First Amendment freedom of speech?"
The second man says: "Of course I do."
The first man then asks: "Do you believe in the Second Amendment freedom to bear arms?"
The second man replies: "No, I don't."
The first man insists: "Then shut up!"
The moral of the story is: you can have your rights, but you have to protect and defend them, too

"If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
-- Sammuel Adams

Most importantly.....
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Ronald Reagan
We will continue down hill as long as the courts are allowed to make the laws.
Sorry. I should put judge in quotes......
