You don’t think Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch know the law?
Take up your complaints with them.
I don’t believe Planned Parenthood was even a party in any of these cases, so I’m not sure how important the decisions would have been anyway.
I believe the point of contention here involved the legal standing of a plaintiff to file a lawsuit over these Medicaid funding cuts.

Well, it is the MSM reporting so they are probably lying in order to distress conservatives.
I *do* agree religion is an important quality for many people (notwithstanding "......; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.") and, maybe, Kavanaugh's faith blinded them other items where investigation may have been fruitful (privacy, Vince Foster). Indeed, Bishop Fulton Sheen once said basically that if you need a tooth pulled and someone recommends a dentist who attends daily mass, you should base your decision on his dental capabilities, not his piety.
It's early days and, hopefully, this was a strategic vote; I read elsewhere that this was a lousy case and, as Justice Thomas dissented, this isn't even about abortion but about Medicare and patients' rights. Nonetheless, attribution needs to be ascribed when prescience crystallizes - well done. I hope we aren't seeing Souter 2.0.
When you come with the “good reason”, please share it with us.
“KavaNaugh is not a deep conservative.”
A guy who admitted in public about never getting laid until what? His 30’s?
If he hadn’t said it, he wouldn’t have been confirmed.
No, I think CNN and you dont know the law.
This wasnt a case about funding. It was about whether an individual could bring a lawsuit in the first place.
Gorsuch, Thomas and Alito didnt say otherwise.
You are correct. This was a standing case, and a denial of Cert doesnt establish a precedent and certainly isnt a decision. This is CNN propaganda and concerned conservatives are spreading it.
But you apparently are.
And now we know he wasn't lying.
Im not fetching a rope either. Ill give Kavanaugh time; I hope he rises to the occasion. I did not like his overt dishonesty in the Vince Foster affair. He protected the Clintons; how many others did they find convenient to remove from breathing because it was so easy?
“Looks like he is trying hard to get back his so-called friends in D.C.”
But he’s perfectly happy without his spine and his balls...
Ding Ding... Winner winner, chicken dinner. What the case was about vs what people thought the case was about. Bring an appeal that challenges the court’s ability to perform the state legislature’s function in assigning budgets of state funds that come through federal hands, and I betcha the result would be much different.
Fake News! Planned Parenthood was very tangential and would not have shut it down or even stunted it. It was all about suing the government.
Roe vs. Wade was all about suing the government (the State of Texas). And the Supreme Court allowed it and ruled in the plaintiff’s favor.
Millions of babies have since been “legally” murdered.
Texas was the last state in the Union that enforced anti-sodomy laws.
Once again a suit was filed against it, and the Supreme Court again ruled in the plaintiff’s (homos) favor.
“Once again a suit was filed against it, and the Supreme Court again ruled in the plaintiffs (homos) favor.”
That was an open and shut case from any freedom lover’s perspective. What one does in the privacy of their home between consenting adults is none of the state’s business, even if that business is buggery. There are plenty of hetero couples who engage in buggery, just the same. I’m not for rounding them up under sin laws, either.
