There was one other thing in the Kacsmaryk decision I was overlooked. Slate comments, the Kacsmaryk decision "goes even further than expected, raising the possibility that he will impose “fetal personhood,” which holds that every state must ban abortion because it murders a human."
Unbelievable as it is, Slate was right. Page 29-30 of the Kacsmaryk decision includes this paragraph:
Parenthetically, said “individual justice and irreparable injury analysis also arguably applies to the unborn humans extinguished by mifepristone especially in the post-Dobbs era. See Dobbs, 142 S. Ct. at 2261 (Nothing in the Constitution or in our Nation's legal traditions authorizes the Court to adopt [the] theory of life "that States are required to regard a fetus as lacking even the most basic human right -- to live -- at least until an arbitrary point in a pregnancy has passed.) (internal marks omitted) Brief of Amici Curiae Scholars of Jurisprudence John M. Finnis and Robert P. George in Support of Petitioners, Dobbs, 142 S. Ct. 2228 (2022)(arguing unborn humans are constitutional persons entitled to equal protection).Getting the US Supreme Court to declare that an embryo or a fetus is a person endowed with full constitutional rights is a core Christian nationalist goal. That is what the radical theocrats want to impose as nationwide law. This is Christian Sharia law.

The Guardian reports that one of the two Tennessee legislators has been reappointed my Nashville's metro council. The other is expected be reappointed on Wednesday. One wonders if the Republicans will expel them again.
And for what it's worth, Biden has informally announced he is running for re-election in 2024.
