Kavanaugh Sides With Pro-Death Judges In Declining To Hear States’ Rights Case To Defund Planned Parenthood
Only four judges were needed to hear the case. As far as I’m concerned, Justice Kavanaugh demonstrated that he is not a constitutional conservative judge. He was chosen to stimy rulings with regard to the law. He is a compromised judge. He and the others opposed to this case should be immediately impeached.

Do you see how you were played conservatives? When some of my colleagues said that a vote against Kavanaugh would let the liberals win, they didn’t know what they were talking about. Now, Kavanaugh has demonstrated, as many of us said he would, himself to not be a constitutional judge nor a conservative one. On Monday, Kavanaugh joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the liberal judges on the court to reject hearing a case brought by states that sought to bar Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding.
NBC reports:
The court rejected appeals from Kansas and Louisiana, which sought to overturn federal appeals court rulings barring them from cutting off the medical provider’s funding. The court’s order announcing its decision not to hear the cases does not list how each of the justices voted.
But Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the decision. He was joined by fellow conservatives Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito. Four justices must agree to take up a case in order for the court to hear it. The court would have taken up the case had either Kavanaugh or Roberts, the chief justice, wanted to do so.
Kavanaugh’s decision is particularly notable. Anti-abortion groups celebrated his confirmation in October and many assumed his ascension to the bench would solidify a conservative majority that would take on abortion rights. The cases the court declined to hear Monday did not directly concern the legality of abortion, though Planned Parenthood is a frequent target of lawmakers who oppose it. In his dissent, Thomas said his colleagues’ decision was rooted in the abortion issue though the cases themselves were not.
The cases stemmed from controversial videos released in 2015 by the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress.
And here are these protecting the guilty.
First, if the court understood that Medicaid is unconstitutional in the first place, it would have heard the case. Second, if the court actually was constitutional and conservative and understood that the murder of the unborn in the womb is a crime, they would have heard the case.
Judge Kavanaugh, apparently, doesn’t understand either of these things and demonstrated that he view Roe v. Wade as settled law, which is something many of us warned about before he was confirmed.
While I defended him against unsubstantiated claims, I also raised the flag about this kind of judge, one that bases his ruling on precedence and not the Constitution, as well as his involvement in the cover-up of the Vince Foster “suicide” and his blatant disregard for the Fourth Amendment.
Still, the Senate confirmed him and conservatives praised the confirmation.
Planned Parenthood was all too happy with the high court leaving in place a lesser court’s ruling in the matter, even though this is a case they should be hearing, according to the Constitution.
“We are pleased that lower court rulings protecting patients remain in place,” Planned Parenthood President Leana Wen said in a statement. “Every person has a fundamental right to health care, no matter who they are, where they live, or how much they earn.”
