Since when does a sitting president overrule the Supreme Court? WTAF?

Biden, read: federal government, has no authority over State law regarding abortions, and that was the court decision.

Now there is real insurrection and an impeachable offense. When the man sworn to uphold the Constitution doesn't, we no longer have a Constitutional Republic.

This will probably be a CMS order, that CMS will not pay States for the other services of Medicare and Medicaid if they ban abortions.

This will be a great pie fight to watch.

This stunt will do nothing. Joe Biden is nothing but an impotent crank.

The EO (like all EOs) only covers admin federal employees.

Only a moron would sign a worthless executive order going against an opinion. But there we have it.

I’m so confused. Every liberal I have ever met says Supreme Court rulings are “the law of the land.”

......offering protections to millions of American women denied the constitutional right to an abortion.

Only there ISN'T.....that's been decided

It's a "Dr. Joe Feel Good BS EO" that means nothing.

This is kind of a “How many divisions does the Pope have?” kind of situation. A ‘decision’ vs. the unchecked power of executive rule.

Or a tyrant who believes his power transcends a court decision. And it just might.
