But does it surprise you?
It’s pretty sick when the so called Supreme Court believes that U.S. taxpayers should be forced to fund baby killers.
There was an interesting report a few months ago that summarized the U.S. Supreme Court decisions in the 2017-18 term. Apparently the two justices who voted on the same side more than any other pair of justices were Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Go figure. LOL.
There is no opposition that needs to be overcome, with respect to such decisions here. Who would overturn the Supreme Court if Kavanaugh went the other way?
Cowards
No surprise to me whatsoever
“Maybe conservatives are finally learning how, also.”
My guess is not.
My thought as well - it was likely not a broad enough case for them to consider it of enough importance to have a full hearing at that level.
Likely wait for additional district rulings or a broader case before decided to consider it.
Story makes it out to be as important as a ruling - when it was really that they just didn’t decide to hear the case. Happens much more than not. Few actually get heard compared to the number submitted, as I understand it.
I don’t know enough to know what to make of this case and the arguments on both sides. But that sentence seems pretty clear to me—I think the states wanted to block PP as a provider of any Medicaid-funded services, apparently based on the expose of their trafficking in tissue sales.
If I understand this not-too-clear article and Justice Thomas correctly, the issue as he sees it at least is whether individual Medicaid recipients have standing to challenge such a prohibition.
It would really suck if, after all the political capital expended trying to confirm Kavanaugh, if he turned out to be a lib. Maybe he is trying to avoid being impeached?
Fake news
They do NOT offer "preventive" care to women. They do not have the facilities to perform mamograms or other services. They perform abortions, that is what they do. That is their profit motive.
I expected this from Roberts. Not Kavanaugh.
And how would not siding with Roberts jeopardize Kavanaugh’s job? There is no chance of his being “impeached” even now.
Roberts to me is a liberal. His behavior is based on ideology, not fear of any retribution.
“Possibly” compromised?
I’m not sure I’m with you here. If I understand correctly, Kavanaugh’s position here represents a limit on the power of individual states.
Hmm.
There needs to be a good study on this issue; what avenues can be used to stop the destruction of human life?
There must be a legal way to do this that these two justices would green light.
Not surprised at all. Roberts is not going to over turn RvW bet the farm. Unless RBG goes the inanticide will continue.
The only ‘preventative care’ PP provides is preventing children from being born
