“And we stand ready to work with other arms of the federal government that seek to use their lawful authorities to protect and preserve access to reproductive care. In particular, the FDA has approved the use of the medication Mifepristone. States may not ban Mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy.
“Furthermore, federal agencies may continue to provide reproductive health services to the extent authorized by federal law. And federal employees who carry out their duties by providing such services must be allowed to do so free from the threat of liability. It is the Department’s longstanding position that States generally may not impose criminal or civil liability on federal employees who perform their duties in a manner authorized by federal law. Additionally, the Department’s Office of Legal Counsel has determined that federal employees engaging in such conduct would not violate the Assimilative Crimes Act and could not be prosecuted by the federal government under that law. The Justice Department is prepared to assist agencies in resolving any questions about the scope of their authority to provide reproductive care.

It's good to be a leftist I guess. You can hold everyone else to impossible standards that you can violate whenever you want and nobody calls you on it. That sounds pretty good, but you also have to live with mental illness and delusions that you should be in charge and loriding over everyone as an iron fisted dictator - except the ones you sent to gulags or firing squads of course - and so frustrated and agry that you arent. Which must be a bummer.
“held that the right to abortion is no longer protected by the Constitution.”
actually, the right to an abortion, or the right to privacy, for that matter, was never in the Constitution.
We dodged a major bullet with Garland on the court. But now we’re stuck with him as Attorney General. What an anti-American disaster he is.
These people are truly insane in their obsession with killing babies. Demonic, really.
Federal property is not exempt from state laws. A federal jurisdiction is but of course there is only one of those.
Federal post offices will soon be abortion mills. In my state the post office is the ONLY place you can not carry concealed.
This man would currently be on the Court if some people around here had had their way.
Amazing you are on this thread - considering that Garland would currently be Justice Garland if you had had your way.
It’s a basic Supremacy Clause case. A federal law permitting abortions overrides a state law banning them. The federal law in this case is narrow, but still valid.
It’s basic 10th Amendment. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
So Garland openly admits to being a domestic terrorist who should be on a no fly and watch list.
Good to know. Sure glad he’s not in charge of anything important in the justice system.

Impeachment itself would not remove them from office. That would take 67 votes in the senate. And even if they were removed, The Biden gang would replace them with others at least as evil. Removing such monsters would would require winning in 2024 with real Constitutional conservatives in congress and the white house.
rope is to good for this puke
Well said.
To paraphrase a popular aphorism, we may not repeat the Roman example but our decline will rhyme with it. ;)
The country’s demographics, culture and morality have fundamentally changed to the point where its hard to see how we can escape some variation of what happened to Rome.
It would take some sort of national calamity to wake people up to the severity and consequences of our societal and political decline. We are on a self-destructive path IMHO.
Another great opportunity for Indian Reservations to offer Abortion resorts. Abortion, casino, and resort spa, what could possibly go wrong.
Thank God this FREAK didn’t become a USSC judge.
To change that military policy, you'd have to change federal law.
Garland thinks the Supreme Court is illegitimate because he didn’t get on it.
