‘Stunning’: Sotomayor tears into conservative justices over Texas abortion ban order

reportedA divided Supreme Court late Wednesday declined to block a restrictive Texas law banning abortions. ... The vote was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts dissenting alongside the three liberal Justices Elaina Kagan, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor. Each wrote a separate opinion opposing the majority decision.

The majority conceded that opponents of the law"have raised serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law." But as the NBC News report added, the justices nevertheless concluded that those arguments did not adequately address the"complex and novel" procedural questions presented by the case.

According to the state's new law, a random person, effectively deputized by Texas Republicans, could sue any of these people for $10,000 — plus attorneys' fees — turning anti-abortion activists into bounty hunters.."Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand.

Sotomayor went on to write,"Today, the Court finally tells the Nation that it declined to act because, in short, the State's gambit worked. The structure of the State's scheme, the Court reasons, raises 'complex and novel antecedent procedural questions' that counsel against granting the application, just as the State intended. This is untenable.

MaddowBlog Women will NEVER again be controlled by men or republicans who want to control our Bodies, Minds or Votes. This is a fight republicans will not win. This new law is a modern day witch hunt where bounty hunters will burn us. Bring it on republicans, we women will bury you.

MaddowBlog Sotomayor is the worst member of scotus with no blind eye to justice at all. She is only principled in progressive policy. She should be impeached.

MaddowBlog Let's take that further and say five members of the high court effectively said Texas is no longer part of the United States.

Supreme Court declines to block Texas’ restrictive abortion law, dealing a blow to Roe v. WadeBREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court declines to block Texas law that prohibits abortion after fetal cardiac activity can be detected; Chief Justice Roberts joins the court's liberal justices. While the court says the case 'raises serious questions regarding the constitutionality of the Texas law' and doesn't block future challenges, the ruling allows one of the most restrictive abortion prohibitions in the nation to remain in effect. It is now obvious that SCOTUS is on the take and can be bought for the right price. Get inline and have cash ready. Sucks.
