Terrific thread. I'll just add:
1. I think there's a good chance the Supreme Court will stay this decision, allowing providers to keep mailing mifepristone for the time being.
2. The Trump administration didn't want this! Its plan was to wait until after the midterms to crack down on mifepristone.[image or embed]

Remember when injunctions weren't nationwide?

State's rights only matter when a democrat is the president.

Otherwise there are no state's rights.

It's reminiscent of when horrified republicans claimed Obama was going to invade Texas.

But Trump invading Minnesota, Chicago, Los Angeles, Vermont, New York ... is a good thing.

You can't be a republican without being a hypocrite.

You can't be a republican while also having any semblance of integrity, values, morals, ideals ect ect.

To be a republican is to be devoid of character and to have a single objective - getting what you want when you want it and a willingness to say or do whatever is needed at the time, contradictions be damned.
