Reactions from Montanans over Friday’s decision released by the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned the Roe v Wade right to abortion law came swiftly from several camps.
No incumbent candidates fell to primary election challenges on Tuesday, while both the moderate and conservative factions of the state’s GOP claimed some victories.
HELENA, MT (Legal Newsline) - The Montana Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits James Brown, or any other judicial candidate, to seek the endorsement of a political party. But that hasn’t stopped leading state Republicans from endorsing the conservative Brown, an attorney and president of the state Public Service Commission, for the state Supreme Court.
Republicans have two main options if they move to ban abortion in Montana – they can enact a law that will most likely be challenged in the courts, or they can push for a constitutional referendum to change the state’s bill of rights, which would then have to go before voters.
