Even though Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas wrote different opinions that were different from the majority, the Supreme Court said on Friday what the majority thought.
Justice Samuel Alito’s minority view, which said that the FDA should keep giving out the abortion drug mifepristone, was criticized by MSNBC host Joy Reid on Friday night.
The last time Reid talked about Alito on her MSNBC show “The ReidOut,” she called him a “mullah” because she didn’t agree with what he said.
Reid wasn’t surprised by the criticism, since he is always quick to call pro-life lawmakers “religious extremists” who want to make it harder for women to get abortions.
Fox News Digital says that after delaying its ruling earlier in the week, the Supreme Court decided on Friday that women can still have full access to the abortion pill mifepristone while a case moves through the lower federal courts.
Even though the Dobbs ruling almost fully overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the Biden administration and pro-choice groups have been praised for their work to make it easier to get the pill.
On his show on Friday, Reid talked about how Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have different points of view.
During an interview with another guest, MSNBC host Joy Reid stopped legal expert Lisa Rubin to say that she didn’t agree with a certain line of Alito’s reasoning.
She used this as an example: “Let’s just skip to this part: ‘Here, the government has not dispelled legitimate doubts that it would even obey an unfavorable order in these cases, let alone take enforcement actions that it strongly disagrees with.'”
She explained to Rubin what the Bible verse meant to her. Someone in the crowd told Lisa, “This sounds to me like he’s admitting, ‘We don’t have an army, we don’t have the power to enforce our decisions, and we’re not sure the government would even listen.'”
Her answer was funny: “That’s a pretty clear sign of weakness, and it’s not much to use as a reason to disagree with me.” He wants to ban abortions on the Supreme Court like a mullah and is clearly angry that Americans don’t want him to.
Rubin said, “As you pointed out, there’s nothing in this record to suggest that the FDA wouldn’t follow a valid court order. For him to imply that this administration and this independent FDA wouldn’t follow the law is, to use your words, absurdly petty and not worthy of a Supreme Court justice.”
