Why does the Judge get to overrule this?
We had the same problem with 187 in California.

Time for States to tell these federal “judges” where to stuff it - make them come in with force to exert their illegal and immoral will on the People.....

Asked for a comment on this ruling, Governor B*tch Otter curled up into a fetal position and crawled under his desk.

It’s futile to ask “Where do they find a Constitutional justification for this?” because the answer is “Wherever they want to.” I do not know if the state intends to appeal to the Supremes or if the latter will even hear it.

“The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.”

Thomas Jefferson 1819

Wiser generations before us knew of these pitfalls. The U.S. Constitution has stood in the way of men's corrupt ambitions. Both tyrants and degenerates have always sought to twist the Constitution into any form they deemed to be beneficial.

”... ruling the law unconstitutional."

I don’t know exactly what the judges said, but patriots need to exercise their voting muscle to require that judges start referencing specific clauses, sections and articles in the Constitution to justify their decisions instead of pulling the wool over the eyes of low-information citizens with the vague, PC terms “constitutional” and “unconstitutional.”

Regarding the so-called “constitutional” right to have an abortion, the reality is that pro-abortion activist justices got away with legislating from the bench the so-called “right” to have an abortion. They got away with doing so because they know that low-information citizens don’t understand the significance of constitutionally enumerated rights. And the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect abortion as a right.

Unconstitutional?? Why then has “Of The People, By The People and For The People” not been specifically ruled unconstitutional? Per the ruling of liberal US courts, so much for preserving the sanctity of human life.

There needs to be a policing judicial oversight authority for when Judges don’t follow law and just rule based on how they feel or politically feel.
Especially an issue when voters pass stuff and one Judge says a no that affects the daily life of all.
