Funny how the DOJ thinks they understand Constitutional rights better than SCOTUS.

Reminds me of the eviction and vaccine mandate laws/orders

All mandates are in open defiance of the Constitution. The Constitution is there to limit government power yet all politicians and judges abuse their power.

Lol but the white house can focus you to get vaccinated. WAKE UP PEOPLE

The Texas law prohibits abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity — usually around six weeks, before some women know they’re pregnant. It leaves enforcement to private citizens through civil lawsuits instead of criminal prosecutors.

Justice Department to sue over Texas' restrictive abortion lawBREAKING: The Biden admin. is filing a lawsuit to challenge Texas' near-total ban on abortions, which the Supreme Court declined to block after the law took effect last week. Congress could simply preempt it via legislation, but I guess Dems have no interest in that. Does anyone find it stunning that our devoutly Catholic president is not having his justice department filing law suits to protect the most innocent among us, the ones without a voice, the most innocent! Adding more justices to the court would only be a temporary fix. What needs to be done is getting Kavanaugh and other Trump appointees off of it and replacing them with liberal justices.
