Texas Judge ‘Defies’ Appeals Court, Backs Planned Parenthood Plea to Lift Ban on Some Abortions During Pandemic
BREITBART ^ | April 10, 2020 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 04/10/2020 3:11:45 PM PDT by Morgana

Planned Parenthood and its allies in the abortion industry once again received the backing of Judge Lee Yeakel of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, who rebuked Texas officials for including abortions as banned elective procedures during the coronavirus pandemic.

On Thursday, Yeakel, a George W. Bush appointee, said he was allowing some abortions to continue after his initial ruling was reversed by a 2-1 decision of a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans.

Responding to Yeakel’s decision Thursday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released the following statement:

The issuance of a second temporary restraining order defies the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and demonstrates a lack of respect for the rule of law. Just two days ago, the Fifth Circuit dissolved the district court’s previous restraining order because it failed to apply settled law to the facts. We will once again ask the Fifth Circuit to uphold Governor Abbott’s decision to stop all elective medical procedures during the COVID-19 crisis.

There ‘a U.S. Circuit Court judge who needs to be impeached,cponvicted, and trown out of office (better still, out of the U.S.)

But first, the traitorous Demonicrats and RINOcrats need to be flushed out of Congress.

What sanctions could a judge that “defies” an appeal court face? Is such defiance grounds for impeachment (of the lower-court judge)?

If a lower judge can defy an upper judge, why is Trump obeying every petty judge (while waiting on appeal) with a political agenda who rules to obstruct him?

It’s simple, a district court judge overruled the Court of appeals. Kinda like how the FBI and CIA get the final say on any policies the President may decide to implement.

Texas might as well be “purple”. America losing Texas would be essentially the death of the country as major elections go. Killing babies will kill America. Go figure. We sacrificed so much for WWII and holocaust ourselves.

Responding to providers’ Wednesday request for emergency relief, Yeakel issued
a more limited temporary restraining order that allows providers to offer early-
stage medically induced abortions and other abortion procedures to women who
are nearing the state’s existing gestational limits for elective abortions. The order
expires on April 19. Providers are still asking for a preliminary injunction that
would block the state from enforcing its emergency executive order for the
remainder of the lawsuit.

I think the majority of the 5th Circuit should just shoot him. Bury him in a shallow grave. Rule of law and all.

Gov.Abbott should send out the Rangers to arrest any occupants and padlock the doors of all abortion mills but this is “Wimpie” we’re talking about.
