Biden's Supreme Court commission to meet with key abortion case looming
Fox News
President Biden's commission on the Supreme Court meets for the first time on Wednesday, triggering the 180-day deadline for the group to provide its report to the president on the status of the court and the issues surrounding it – including on packing the court.
The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, concerns a Mississippi law that bans abortion procedures after 15 weeks. Lower courts blocked the law but Mississippi, like other right-leaning states in recent years, appealed the rulings to the Supreme Court in hopes that the new 6-3 Republican-appointed majority might expand the scope of allowable state regulations or bans on abortion. The development could lead to a major ruling likely next spring. It incensed Democrats and gave many on the right hope that the court might go so far as to entirely overturn Roe v. Wade, the case in which the court said women have a right to abortion.More Related News
