so this lower judge is overruling the U.S. Supreme Court?
Must have been in the mcconnell/shoestring deal ?
“My body my choice?”
Baby’s body baby’s choice. (NOT his mothers’ or fathers’ right.)
The baby’s body is not YOUR body, m’am.
"In a 113-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman took Texas to task over the law, saying Republican lawmakers had “contrived an unprecedented and transparent statutory scheme” by leaving enforcement solely in the hands of private citizens, who are entitled to collect $10,000 in damages if they bring successful lawsuits against abortion providers who violate the restrictions.The law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in May, prohibits abortions once cardiac activity is detected, which is usually around six weeks, before some women even know they are pregnant.
“From the moment S.B. 8 went into effect, women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution,” wrote Pitman, who was appointed to the bench by former President Barack Obama.
“That other courts may find a way to avoid this conclusion is theirs to decide; this Court will not sanction one more day of this offensive deprivation of such an important right.”
Pitman's gay butthurt over having waited forever to get a Federal bench; knowing he will be overturned by the 5th; and further, knowing he will never be elevated to the 5th.
All this pillow-biter has done is hand the 5th a case to block cert. SCHADENFREUDE!
I expected this to happened eventually. The sooner the better, actually. This moves it more quickly to a final resolution at the Supreme Court.
Figures.
The pathetic judge Pitman did this, simply to get every liberal news station to broadcast how the unfair Texas abortion rule was reversed. KTLA 5 news had a story this morning for five minutes about how the Texas ruling was reversed, because the Texas ruling discriminates against women.
