. The complaint makes a similar argument and claims Texas lawmakers enacted the statute “in open defiance of the Constitution.”
Thursday’s announcement makes good on Biden’s promise to take on Texas and attempt to block enforcement of the abortion law, setting up a high-stakes fight with Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, who are both Republicans up for reelection next year and have vowed to defend the law.

American politics are confusing, I like that the justice department is suing but it feels so damn weird. The US Vs State of Texas😳 I thought suing was only for financial gain. If this was always a possibility, why would state government leave risking these threats by Gov weirdo?
DOJ needs urgent action from scotus to prevent enactment of ANY element of SB8 til case is heard. SCOTUS found time in dark of nite to let law stand - they can bloody well get out of their pyjamas & stop it. No slow walking or excuses! If SCOTUS is too busy - EXPAND THE COURT!
