Kerri Kupec Urbahn on Abortion Pill Case: SCOTUS Seems Skeptical on Whether Doctors Had Legal Standing for Lawsuit

HEINRICH Let s bring ░░░░░░░░ Kerri Urbahn Fox News ░░░░░░░░ editor and former counselor ░░░░░░░░ Attorney General Bill Barr ░░░░░░░░ thank you for being ░░░░░░░░ This is an interesting ░░░░░░░░ to examine because often ░░░░░░░░ former president will malign ░░░░░░░░ is looking into him ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ Colangelo s career path ░░░░░░░░ goes from what Labor ░░░░░░░░ Obama to the New ░░░░░░░░ attorney general s office ░░░░░░░░ he goes to DoJ ░░░░░░░░ is now leaving DoJ ░░░░░░░░ go work for a ░░░░░░░░ office Why would he ░░░░░░░░ that KUPEC URBAHN And ░░░░░░░░ just any spot at ░░░░░░░░ He held the number ░░░░░░░░ spot at the department ░░░░░░░░ that is a very ░░░░░░░░ spot Typically when people ░░░░░░░░ that spot it s ░░░░░░░░ fast track to becoming ░░░░░░░░ corporate head somewhere or ░░░░░░░░ up a U S ░░░░░░░░ s office So for ░░░░░░░░ one of my former ░░░░░░░░ who was acting associate ░░░░░░░░ general when I was ░░░░░░░░ she s now a ░░░░░░░░ at Walmart Rudy Giuliani ░░░░░░░░ that spot under Reagan ░░░░░░░░ the early 80s and ░░░░░░░░ he went on to ░░░░░░░░ the U S Attorney ░░░░░░░░ the Southern District with ░░░░░░░░ who s watched Billions ░░░░░░░░ what a powerful position ░░░░░░░░ is So to go ░░░░░░░░ a number three spot ░░░░░░░░ DoJ to working for ░░░░░░░░ local prosecutor just objectively ░░░░░░░░ it s a career ░░░░░░░░ at a minimum and ░░░░░░░░ just has to wonder ░░░░░░░░ would you make that ░░░░░░░░ HEINRICH So when you ░░░░░░░░ the former president taking ░░░░░░░░ with this person in ░░░░░░░░ it stands out as ░░░░░░░░ than some of the ░░░░░░░░ complaints we hear from ░░░░░░░░ KUPEC URBAHN Yeah I ░░░░░░░░ given his resume working ░░░░░░░░ James going after Trump ░░░░░░░░ James going to DoJ ░░░░░░░░ m not sure what ░░░░░░░░ did there I know ░░░░░░░░ when you are in ░░░░░░░░ position you are overseeing ░░░░░░░░ lot of different components ░░░░░░░░ so I would be ░░░░░░░░ if Trump was anything ░░░░░░░░ in there But then ░░░░░░░░ go to Alvin Bragg ░░░░░░░░ office back to Trump ░░░░░░░░ it sounds like he ░░░░░░░░ basically his right hand ░░░░░░░░ this point You have ░░░░░░░░ be a true believer ░░░░░░░░ what you are doing ░░░░░░░░ make that kind of ░░░░░░░░ move in light of ░░░░░░░░ you are sacrificing in ░░░░░░░░ to do that The ░░░░░░░░ raises an interesting point ░░░░░░░░ former president when he ░░░░░░░░ what he does HEINRICH ░░░░░░░░ he often brings up ░░░░░░░░ question of weaponization of ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department and you ░░░░░░░░ sort of litigate that ░░░░░░░░ one way or another ░░░░░░░░ this case as I ░░░░░░░░ it seems to be ░░░░░░░░ KUPEC URBAHN Yeah it ░░░░░░░░ just again just objectively ░░░░░░░░ it s a career ░░░░░░░░ So the question is ░░░░░░░░ HEINRICH Okay Let s ░░░░░░░░ on to the Supreme ░░░░░░░░ and their debate over ░░░░░░░░ mifepristone abortion pill Talking ░░░░░░░░ Shannon Bream earlier we ░░░░░░░░ not hear a resolution ░░░░░░░░ this but how important ░░░░░░░░ it to get to ░░░░░░░░ issues quickly especially in ░░░░░░░░ context of an upcoming ░░░░░░░░ and how does the ░░░░░░░░ between standing and merits ░░░░░░░░ this case KUPEC URBAHN ░░░░░░░░ m not sure the ░░░░░░░░ are even going to ░░░░░░░░ the merits of this ░░░░░░░░ They seem pretty skeptical ░░░░░░░░ these doctors had standing ░░░░░░░░ sue in the first ░░░░░░░░ These doctors are saying ░░░░░░░░ look we have conscious ░░░░░░░░ these women s are ░░░░░░░░ these pills and then ░░░░░░░░ inadvertently become complicit in ░░░░░░░░ their abortion process and ░░░░░░░░ s against our beliefs ░░░░░░░░ justices seem skeptical of ░░░░░░░░ argument But I one ░░░░░░░░ that did come up ░░░░░░░░ the argument that I ░░░░░░░░ was interesting and I ░░░░░░░░ t think they re ░░░░░░░░ to reach this in ░░░░░░░░ decision but it s ░░░░░░░░ heart of the merit ░░░░░░░░ is okay well who ░░░░░░░░ the FDA accountable at ░░░░░░░░ end of the say ░░░░░░░░ there s a high ░░░░░░░░ drug and this drug ░░░░░░░░ appeared to be high ░░░░░░░░ in different ways over ░░░░░░░░ years for instance their ░░░░░░░░ warning label says that ░░░░░░░░ in 25 women who ░░░░░░░░ it end up in ░░░░░░░░ emergency room and that ░░░░░░░░ me as high risk ░░░░░░░░ what point does the ░░░░░░░░ themselves determine something is ░░░░░░░░ enough to reinstate just ░░░░░░░░ safety protocols And the ░░░░░░░░ is again we don ░░░░░░░░ know who holds them ░░░░░░░░ because it seems like ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ they do but when ░░░░░░░░ they actually make that ░░░░░░░░ and can anyone force ░░░░░░░░ to do so I ░░░░░░░░ t think the justices ░░░░░░░░ going to reach that ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ reasonable question that people ░░░░░░░░ asking HEINRICH We ll ░░░░░░░░ to follow it and ░░░░░░░░ course there ve been ░░░░░░░░ lot of opinions around ░░░░░░░░ You had Senator Elizabeth ░░░░░░░░ this morning calling this ░░░░░░░░ of another Republican effort ░░░░░░░░ ban abortion nationwide so ░░░░░░░░ have sort of a ░░░░░░░░ of opinions coming out ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court looks ░░░░░░░░ this but you think ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ this pretty carefully KUPEC ░░░░░░░░ I think I d ░░░░░░░░ surprised if they get ░░░░░░░░ the standing issue but ░░░░░░░░ thing is the case ░░░░░░░░ going to continue because ░░░░░░░░ are different standing issues ░░░░░░░░ different states So this ░░░░░░░░ is going to continue ░░░░░░░░ in some way or ░░░░░░░░ but as far as ░░░░░░░░ seeing an actual decision ░░░░░░░░ the merits I m ░░░░░░░░ sure about that HEINRICH ░░░░░░░░ Kupec thank you so ░░░░░░░░ Appreciate it KUPEC URBAHN ░░░░░░░░ you HEINRICH Trace over ░░░░░░░░ you.”
