Now, we'll see how well pandering to the Repuglycans works out.

1. When are they going to hear this case? I haven't read where that

has been determined.I wonder if it is to be heard right around election time? It would help rally the "base" Republicans. I don't think it will get to many "average" Americans angry enough to go vote for Dems, it is a very limited procedure and can be very graphically described as gruesome so it is hard to defend.
I will add, it didn't take them long and was expected.

2. I'm sure popular opinion won't matter anyway. . .

after all, Republicans are allowed to appoint "activist" judges who will legislate from the bench quite freely as long as it embraces the teachings of a minority of evangelical bullies.
