They won’t, but it might be interesting to look into the details of the law.

In Texas, the law that has stirred up so much emotion contains a loophole in its wording saying that if someone feels burdened by the law it doesn’t apply to them.

A poster told me that 20-week TX law would withstand court muster.

No doubt it would because the abortion law there was a symbolic act from business as usual Republican politicians reacted to by business as usual Democrat politicians like Wendy Davis with a lot of drama..

Exactly. If states can have their local versions of the Second Amendment, why not gradations of "rights" like abortion that aren't really rights?

As well they should. As well most should.

Gingrich was right. An outright elimination of the 9th circuit is in order.

Yes, exactly the way Obama and Holder ignore SCOTUS. Precedent and all that.

The problem is that the abortionists want AZ to ignore SCOTUS. AZ wants to prosecute and enforce a law and can't do that now.

It's another victory for abortionists.

Back in the 1950s, Arkansas ignored a SCOTUS order to integrate Central High School in Little Rock. President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and ordered them to enforce to SCOTUS order.

And no, I am not comparing abortion to desegregation. I am just pointing out that the federal courts can call on the federal Executive Branch to enforce their orders and, if the President is on board, the Feds outgun the states. (If the President is not on board, things can be very different, as when President Jackson ignored SCOTUS's order against removing the Cherokee Indians from their land.)

Right. State nullification of unconstitutional federal government interference with states' freedom. Abortion is by no means allowed or delegated by the Constitution to the federal government no matter how convoluted the contortionists on the Left twist the Constitution. Abortion is plainly and clearly not a federal issue. With clear and valid legal reasoning, AZ should just ignore SCOTUS on this one.
