DOJ seeks emergency order to temporarily block Texas abortion law
Axios ^ | September 14, 2021 | Oriana Gonzalez, Rebecca Falconer

Posted on 09/14/2021 8:12:50 PM PDT by American Number 181269513

The Department of Justice submitted an emergency motion late Tuesday seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction on Texas' ban on abortions after six weeks.

The big picture: The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, allowed Texas' Senate Bill 8 to go into effect earlier this month, prompting the DOJ to file a lawsuit last week against the state's action. Attorney General Merrick Garland called the law "clearly unconstitutional."

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.

It’s time the country split.

Garland is “clearly” full of $hit, and a megalomaniac to boot.

The more I see and hear from our federal government, the more convinced I am that they are in league with the devil.

They’re satanists. They worship evil. They hate Jesus and God Almighty

This has been seen in many epochs before.

Those who worship evil will pay a dear price. Either in this life or the next

— Attorney General Merrick Garland called the law “clearly unconstitutional.”

And yet he has no problem with the government coercing healthy people to get jabbed. I would like to see the pretzel logic used to reconcile those two positions.

I want to be in the half where you can get Ivermectin and HCQ over the counter, just like in third world countries. :)

I have read the constitution several times. The word “abortion” isn’t in the constitution.

This law not hurting anyone.

Murder is the reason and it always in CCP Season.

DOJ should be “law abiding” and “Biden’s Mandate from Heaven”.

Maybe not, but this is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life
