Folks being “disappeared” can seem familiar.
Is his family…proud?
How about his community?

It’s a betrayal…on every level.

Like a vampire.

Even Repub “Sainted” Antonin Scalia is on record.

The clock is ticking…

#NY has a #ShieldLaw that is intended to protect #AbortionProviders who send medications to patients in other states.

New York is 1 of 8 states that have enacted “telemedicine abortion shield laws” after #SCOTUS overturned the national right to an #abortion in 2022. The laws prevent ofcls from extraditing abortion providers to other states or from responding to subpoenas & other #legal actions…

The action by the NY court is the first time that an abortion shield law has been used.

A #NY state court on Thurs blocked #Texas from filing a legal action against a NY #doctor for prescribing & sending #abortion pills to a TX woman.

The unprecedented move catapults the interstate abortion wars to a new level, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal battle between states that ban abortion & states that support #AbortionRights.

The dispute is widely expected to reach #SCOTUS, pitting TX, which has a near-total #AbortionBan, against NY.

@Frau_Sofa Grober Fehler in deinem Toot. ist gerade dabei die USA in einen Führer-Staat umzubauen. Was dann auch umgangssprachlich als Faschismus bezeichnet werden kann.

Nur weil ein Gericht temporär was dagegen sagt, ist nicht gesagt, dass
- die Administration sich daran hält,
- hat ja bereits den Chef vom angewiesen(!!!) die Bundesrichter zurückzupfeifen.

Also mit der Rechtsstaatlichkeit in den USA ist das momentan so eine Sache.

#SCOTUS #GhostGuns

"The Biden administration said in 2022 that the same rules governing fully assembled weapons must also apply to ghost-gun kits.

Manufacturers and owners sued, arguing that the kits do not meet the legal definition of a 'weapon.'

The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, rejected that argument and upheld the Biden administration's regulations.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Between the lines: Gun regulations usually lose at the Supreme Court, but it's important to note that this case did not raise any Second Amendment questions.

It hinged instead on the interpretation of specific phrases, including 'weapon,' in federal law."
