month, and this judge appeared skeptical anderson. he appeared skeptical in what was so fascinating was that the plaintiffs were really asking him practically to yank this medication off the shelves. and in the questions that the judge asked the plaintiffs, he seems skeptical. he even asked the plaintiffs can you point to another case in which a judge has done exactly what you re asking me to do? and the plaintiffs couldn t point to another case, and that s why this case is so unprecedented. which brings me to this point. because this is so unprecedented , in essence, what the plaintiffs have asked. the judge to do is to override the scientists to override the fda, which leads me to my final point . how will the f d a. read this and interpret this order? and what will they do now? of course, we know that this order is on pause at the moment for seven days, but if it does go through anderson, i think one of

ago, attorney general garland said the justice department will appeal the texas ruling, quoting from the statement, quote today s decision overturns the fda as expert judgment. rendered over two decades that mifepristone is safe and effective. the department will continue to defend the fda decision. joining us now by phone is minnesota democratic senator amy klobuchar, who sits on the senate judiciary committee. senator klobuchar. i m wondering what your reaction to the two rulings is particularly the texas ruling. this is just a complete shock for women across the nation. um, this is medication. abortion is safe. it was approved, as pointed out by the attorney general over 20 years ago. the approval process took four years . yet this judge and notoriously conservative judge judge cass merrick from texas is the same one. anderson who issued the issue, the initial vision and the dots case. that shredded
afternoon? and how does this get resolved? i mean, it s almost like lightning striking. that s how odd and unique this is, but it s also very odd and unique for a judge down in texas to say, listen, although he has a j d, a doctorate, nothing like a doctor s degree, let alone a scientific one, which essentially is what the fda and of course other entities who looked at the fda, including their regimen of how to review this drug, and others have said you haven t done enough and i can t trust the science. so i m going to make sure that my judicial rolling eliminates the access to it at least in about seven days from now, so it s very very saying to think about. it also leads to the doctor talked about. to really probably illogical conclusions. other drugs now will be called into question and other judges may have the authority to say, listen, although the fda is the is the entity and the agency we d like to be able to review for safety and pragmatic concerns. we will now usurp that
abortion, so i think that his ruling just under the law makes no sense when you look at fda law, on the other hand, i don t think we re surprised another i know trump appointed judge. you have got these people that donald trump put in. you ve got supreme court that did all it could and that adopts decision to overturn 50 years of precedent, and you ve got women and men from kansas to alaska, telling them no, we don t agree with this 70 80% of the public is with us. so one answer. anderson of course, is to pass the women s health protection act in congress. but right now we have a house of representatives, um, controlled by the republicans that won t let it through. i appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you. next with the former presidents declared, are likely primary rivals are saying or not , saying as the case may be about his criminal indictments
