Two Clinton-appointed judges in their 70s were all that stood in the path of Thapar having his way here.
Here's Judge Thapar, Trump's first appeals court nominee, mincing no words and saying that, in his view, Tennessee can do whatever it wants, including a total ban on abortion.
More from Thapar: "But those precedents are wrong."
It's clear that last week's Supreme inaction has invigorated anti-Roe/Casey lower court judges.
Part 2, and again: It's clear that last week's Supreme inaction has invigorated anti-Roe/Casey lower court judges.

Well, this is awful.
But, lol. The engagement on this post tells me you can just put this idea back on the shelf. Image
I really want to have a sit-down with whoever was like, “Shark Tank, but instead of capitalism we make it about activism. By turning the activism into a marketable commodity. So, capitalism.”

We’re still waiting on word from #SCOTUS in John Ramirez’s request for a stay of execution in Texas. Ramirez is due to be executed tonight. Here’s the docket: supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
Here’s the underlying issue presented, a religious liberty — specifically, RLUIPA — claim, on which he is asking for a stay:
Notably, Texas AG Paxton, which opposes the stay request, is also *opposing* the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty here, which filed an amicus brief supporting Ramirez. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/2…

And, there we go: @HRC fired Alphonso David tonight, after a series of accusatory and aggressive statements from David, former Andrew Cuomo counsel, over the holiday weekend.
The Times (by @maggieNYT) reports that no one on either board voted for him to stay. nytimes.com/2021/09/06/us/…

BREAKING: On a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court denies relief to plaintiffs challenging Texas #SB8, allowing it to remain in effect for now. Chief Justice Roberts joins the Democratic appointees in dissent.
