So many get wrong, and so many misreport, that the #SCOTUS is to rule on the safety of mifepristone. It is not.
The Court has neither the expertise, the legal jurisdiction, nor the interest in making such a determination. It’s absolutely not what the Court is doing.
Instead, what the Court is to rule on is specifically the legal questions surrounding whether the executive branch followed legal procedures as it acted.
It seems that the FDA didn’t follow the legal process and botched this, and we should be holding executive branch officials responsible for their failure there.
All of the drama protesting the Court misplaces the real blame and lets those responsible off the hook, and is so counterproductive to the goals of those protesters.
@volkris Nothing of what you said is true. The agencies have followed their usual process and the drug is perfectly safe. #SCOTUS is simply being asked to substitute the judgment of any one random Federal judge for a multi-year agency process to overturn any and all agency decisions they don't like. This is part of a trend of right wing usurpation of political power by unelected judges.
@peltast @volkris the entire purpose is to begin to tear down our administrative state. They want to do away with the FDA, the EPA, the Dept of Education, the IRS . They are on a mission that will destroy democracy and make it possible for the next member of the #GOP to take the WH to run project 2025.
@Beachbum yes, that sort of conspiracy theory is sadly often promoted these days, but it doesn’t stand considering how the US government is actually designed and functions and has non-optional features in place specifically to make such a thing impossible.
As we saw throughout Trump’s first term.
It’s simply not an option on the table, despite sensational claims by interests who benefit from promoting such stories.
