Fed judge orders taxpayers to pay legal fees of abortion clinic

  1. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) A federal judge who quashed Missouri's push to revoke a Planned Parenthood clinic's abortion license has ordered state taxpayers to pay more than $156,000 to cover the organization's legal bills tied to the dispute.

    U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey this week ruled that the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services must pay $156,631 in attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by what now is Planned Parenthood Great Plains.

    Laughrey in May sided with the Columbia, Missouri, Planned Parenthood clinic after the state last year tried to revoke its abortion license. The judge concluded that move likely was due in part to "political pressure," and that the license couldn't be revoked before its expiration in June.

    A spokeswoman for Missouri's attorney general says that office is reviewing Laughrey's latest ruling.


    More tyranny by a federal judge. I guess I won't be paying my state taxes this year. Screw the faggot judge.

Taxpayers should be made responsible for attorney's fees and court costs.
Says a true commie.

Don't be silly.
 
I swear nobody knows how our government works.
You understand checks & balances between the 3 branches of US Fed gov?
If Fed court ruling is against a state's policy, the Exec branch can withhold some funding (related to Judicial branch support) to the state.
In some cases, Fed muscle (FBI, etc) can be deployed, but this case would not warrant that.
