Democrats for Defying Court Orders

“…Ron Wyden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorse law-breaking over an abortion drug.

One depressing sign of the political times is that partisans on the left and right are willing to trash political norms and institutions to get their way. The latest example comes from Democrats urging the Biden Administration to ignore last week’s federal court order concerning the abortion drug mifepristone.

In an editorial nearby, we explain our doubts about Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling. His national injunction is also excessive before the merits are even considered. But the judge delayed the enforcement of his order for a week to give the Biden Administration time to appeal. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will weigh in on the national injunction and the legal merits of the case.
