OBAMA Judge to Biden*: 'Drop Dead' on TX Heartbeat Law

That didn't take long; the Biden* request was only three days old.

A federal judge has blocked Joe Biden’s emergency request to stop the Texas abortion ban, which has saved anywhere between 1,500 and 2,000 babies from abortion....

...United States District Judge Robert Pitman in a one page decision this afternoon denying Biden’s request to block the law while the lawsuit against it continues.

“[T]his case presents complex, important questions of law that merit a full opportunity for the parties to present their positions to the Court,” Judge Pitman, an Obama appointee, wrote. “Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the United States’ Opposed Motion for Expedited Briefing Schedule, (Dkt. 13), is DENIED.”...

 On the face of it, the Biden*/Garland argument was ridiculous:

...The Justice Department argued that the Texas abortion ban will “prevent women from exercising their constitutional rights” and it claimed the ban violated the Constitution, even though there is no Constitutional right to kill babies in abortions.

Biden also argued that Texas had “an unprecedented scheme that seeks to deny women and providers the ability to challenge S.B. 8 in federal court. This attempt to shield a plainly unconstitutional law from review cannot stand.”...

 When an OBAMA judge can see it for what it is, Joe, you're in trouble.
