It’s Montana’s state Supreme Court, not the federal Supreme Court. Two distinct entities under a confusing name scheme.
the federal supreme court refused to hear an appeal of the montana supreme court's ruling
Well damn, even I got confused then.
Something something states’ rights is my guess.
This is literally the sole hope I have for the USSC. It is still ruinous to the nation, but at least means there are places you will be able to go that aren't utter shitholes.
we usually call it the SCOTUS
My bad, kinda had a brain fart on that one
Or as I've been calling it... SCrOTUS
😭aaaaaaaarRRFFGHSDH
If everyone is supreme, then is anyone?
This court always has been. For a long time I was collecting SCOTUS stories where the rulings could be regarded as liberal, or, gasp, even woke. There was about double what's pictured here.

if abortion is illegal then it is illegal for parents to consent to them.
Abortion is explicitly legal in Montana. The parental consent law would have meant that parental approval was required for a minor to get an abortion.
The Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade made it state laws that matter on abortion.
What happens when Trump dissolves the states ?
What does state law matter if Montana doesn't exist ?
but abortion is not illegal
not for the gop and thier mistresses.
But if it becomes illegal this ruling will stand up to scrutiny.
And if your mother had wheels she'd be a bike
Yet.
