Declaring that President Trump's rationale for his antiabortion 'conscience' rule had no basis in fact, a judge throws it out.

Buried within a recent judicial ruling overturning the Trump administration’s approval of the largely pointless Cadiz water project are a few clues to why Trump’s policymaking is so often blocked in federal court.

The government’s game of fun with statistics wasn’t Engelmayer’s only issue with the conscience rule. But first, here’s some background.The rule would have vastly expanded the scope of existing federal regulations granting cover to doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers with religious or moral objections to participation in certain procedures such as abortions, sterilizations and assisted suicide.

Obama threw it out, in part on the grounds that the Bush administration acknowledged that of the 97,000 public comments its HHS had received on its proposal, an “overwhelming number” expressed concern that the rule change would reduce access to care, especially access to reproductive services and contraception for women.

The rule also contained the threat of draconian consequences for employers judged to be in violation — the loss of all federal funding.Column: Health Secretary Azar’s attacks on Obamacare make him Trump’s most dangerous Cabinet member “The rulemaking exercise here was sufficiently shot through with glaring legal defects,” he wrote, “as to not justify a search for survivors.”

The Catholic Church is totally hypocritical. They use the Constitution to justify their right to deny care to those who ask for it while denying those same people their rights to equal treatment set forth in the Constitution.

Not surprising.

Killing of Americans sucks Mexican president into Trump election vortexThe massacre of nine American citizens has dealt a new blow to the Mexican president as he aims to free his country of foreign interference, enveloping him in a growing security crisis just as President Trump seeks re-election Maybe he should get ahold of the narco state he is overseeing. Foreign interference? Seriously? Babies were shot and burned alive 70 miles from our southern border, if he won't interfere we should. But, having a drug gang shoot up a town to get their leader out of jail was no biggie-right? At this point it seems there could be no better spokesman for cartels in Mexico than AMLO himself.
