AOC’s suggestion that the Biden administration ignore a federal judge’s abortion pill ruling is getting a lot of attention but is not unprecedented. Some history: Vice President Harris has experience in this area from when she was fighting to keep prisons overcrowded. As California Attorney General, the Supreme Court ordered her to release 5000 non-violent prisoners deemed “next to no risk of recidivism or threat to public safety.” Even with the prisons stuffed to 2x their official capacity and the SCOTUS ruling she was violating 8th Amendment rights, Harris simply refused to follow the ruling. prospect.org/justice/how-kam…
