Disappointing not because of the abortion issue (abet that is an important one), but disappointing as the court could have sent a clear message that only the legislative bodies of states have the budgetary power to spend money, not court fiat.
Then again, the arguments of the case completely ignored that basic concept.
Is he trying to ingratiate himself with the libs so they they will like him? Souter 2.0?
It’s wise to leave Roe vs Wade alone, or at least for the time being.
Pull out of Medicaid then.
17-1340 ANDERSEN, JEFF V. PLANNED PARENTHOOD, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. Justice Thomas, with whom Justice Alito and Justice Gorsuch join, dissenting from the denial of certiorari: I dissent for the reasons set out in Gee v. Planned Parenthood, 586 U. S. ___ (2018) (Thomas, J., dissenting).
They didn’t “side” with anyone - they decided not to decide. A correct headline would be “Supreme Court declines to hear Planned Parenthood case.”
Fake news.
Trump picked an asshole.
Regarding Justice Kavanaugh, the problem with being a post-FDR era constitutional “expert” these days is that even conservatives cannot avoid anti-state sovereignty institutional indoctrination imo.
Regarding Pres. Trump, he has had no choice but to surround himself with institutionally indoctrinated “constitutionalists."
Think of it this way. Hypothetically speaking, judges now on the bench will argue that the Constitution was ratified in 1942 when the Supremes scandalously decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congress’s favor, instead of in 1788.
Evidenced by unconstitutional federal taxpayer dollars for abortion, I’m sure there are FReepers who have a better grip on the fed’s constitutionally limited powers better than Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
Also, off topic, patriots are encouraged to watch Dan Borgino’s excellent 37 min video (associated book). The video helps to flesh out the alleged Mueller conspiracy against Pres. Trump.
Insights welcome.

Good Catholics they are NOT!
Timing, people. Think timing. The Left wants a $^!+ storm. And, in every possible institution. Distractors are a tactic. Anything, that will derail Trump supporters.
Fall in and let them demoralize us is Alinsky on steroids.
From a Catholic?
This is basic violation of human rights for the unborn and just-born. It is also a blatant usurpation of power FROM the States and the People by an out-of-control judiciary.
Do we have another Souter here? Recall that the reason he ruled in favor of the unions was for “Labor Peace”. Where is that in the Constitution?
Kavanaugh is probably scared to death the crazy commies will harm him and his family if he votes to stop the baby murders and body-parts industry. And that is probably true.
If he doesn’t have the courage to uphold the Constitution, he should have never accepted the nomination. He should resign. He took the OATH. A man who can not stand by his oath is not a man.

that’s why they did it. looks like it worked.
“states violate federal law when they terminate Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood affiliates “
and therein lies the win? just don’t have contracts with Murder Inc. to begin with
It says the States are violating Federal Law. The only way to fix it is to change Federal Law.
It isn’t about Planned Parenthood. The Federal Government is to blame for this crap.
So to John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh abortion “rights” trump States Rights.
Spit.
The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground.

SCOTUS ducked this issue in a way that will disappoint both sides. There are now conflicting appellate court decisions regarding the ability of states to block PP or any other organization from receiving Medicare funds. This is exactly the situation that calls for resolution by the high court.
Kavanaugh pulls a Kennedy.
It never ceases to amaze me that for all the political talk that goes on within this forum how BADLY some of you understand the game that is politics.
More to the point, this case wasn’t even heard much less tried. This failed a Certiori grant, meaning it can be brought again.
Ruling against Abortion is going to happen eventually and we have to hope it’s basis is on such strong ground legally and constitutionally that it won’t be over-ruled easily or else we are just wasting time.
