Justice formally asks Supreme Court to block 'plainly unconstitutional' Texas abortion law
By Harper Neidig - 10/18/21 01:45 PM EDT

The Biden administration formally asked the Supreme Court on Monday to block a controversial Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, calling it "plainly unconstitutional."

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an application with the high court seeking an order that would suspend enforcement of the law known as S.B. 8 while the administration's legal challenge proceeds.

"S.B. 8 is plainly unconstitutional under this Court’s precedents," the DOJ's filing reads. "Texas has not seriously argued otherwise."


The department's brief argued that the high court should not allow the law to stand because of procedural obstacles due to the way the law was designed.

"Texas’s insistence that no party can bring a suit challenging S.B. 8 amounts to an assertion that the federal courts are powerless to halt the State’s ongoing nullification of federal law," the DOJ wrote. "That proposition is as breathtaking as it is dangerous."

Monday's filing marks the second time that the Supreme Court has been presented with the question of whether to block the Texas law. Last month, in a legal challenge from abortion providers in the state, a 5-4 majority allowed S.B. 8 to go into effect, citing the procedural obstacles presented by the law's enforcement scheme.

So what part of the Constitution does it "plainly" violate?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

The emanations from penumbras Jazzhead used to jabber on about.  He said that was cast in stone and we should let the babies die because robed tyrants decided it, and that's that.

A name from the past.
