Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for President Biden to ignore a federal judge's temporary hold on the abortion pill, raising alarm about the rule of law taking a back seat to the rule of man.
shortly after U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk issued the preliminary injunction Friday blocking the Food and Drug Administration’s 2000 approval of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in the abortion-pill protocol, pending the outcome of a legal challenge.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez echoed his sentiments, saying the courts are undermining their legitimacy with the “deeply partisan and unfounded nature of these rulings.” “This is unserious,” tweeted former Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman, while civil-rights attorney Andrew Laufer said, “We can’t start ignoring rules of Federal Courts no matter how much we despise them. That is what the appellate process is for.”
gave notice that he would appeal Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge said his order would take effect in seven days to allow time for the appeals process.
