Trump tells Arizona Legislature to act after GOP blocks bills to repeal 1864 abortion ban
Former President Trump on Friday urged Arizona lawmakers to act “as fast as possible” to adjust the state’s abortion policy after a state Supreme Court ruling upheld an 1864 law and made performing the procedure a felony.
The comments marked the latest fallout of the decision, which has left Republicans scrambling to respond as Democrats relentlessly hammer Trump on the issue of abortion.
“The Supreme Court in Arizona went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “So now the Governor and the Arizona Legislature must use HEART, COMMON SENSE, and ACT IMMEDIATELY, to remedy what has happened.”
“Remember, it is now up to the States and the Good Will of those that represent THE PEOPLE,” Trump added, saying there would “ideally” be exceptions for cases of rape, incest and instances where the life of the mother is at risk.
Trump’s plea came after Republicans in the Arizona Legislature earlier in the week blocked attempts from Democrats to undo the court-imposed ban on abortions.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Civil War-era law passed before Arizona was even a state should be enforced. The court ruled to lift a stay on the law, meaning it goes into effect in 14 days.
However, the justices also sent the case back to a lower trial court to sort out questions about the law’s constitutionality.
The century-old law makes abortion a felony punishable by two to five years in prison for anyone who performs or helps a woman obtain an abortion. It includes an extremely narrow exception allowing for an abortion “when it is necessary” to save a pregnant person’s life.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) called for the 1864 ban to be repealed, and the state’s Democratic attorney general has said she will not enforce any bans on abortion.
Hobbs on Friday scoffed at Trump’s rhetoric around the issue.
“I am pretty tired of cleaning up Donald Trump’s messes in Arizona,” she told “The View” on ABC. “This is really nothing but political opportunism coming from these folks who wanted this. This is what they wanted when they worked to overturn Roe v. Wade.”
Trump earlier this week said it should be left up to the states to determine abortion policy, while appearing to say he would not sign a federal ban.
Trump has frequently expressed pride in appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, and his White House supported GOP legislation that passed the House during his first term that would have banned most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Vice President Harris traveled Friday to Arizona, where she was set to blame Trump directly for the situation unfolding in Arizona and to warn a second Trump term would lead to more abortion bans.

Hard-liners vow retaliation against Republicans who sank FISA warrant mandate
Hard-line conservatives are turning up the heat on their GOP colleagues who voted Friday to kill a proposed warrant requirement for domestic communications caught up in foreign surveillance operations.
That provision — offered as an amendment to a larger bill renewing a key section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) — went down on the House floor in a 212-212 vote, with 86 Republicans and 126 Democrats voting against it. By House rules, a tie vote fails.
The outcome infuriated the conservative champions of the warrant mandate, who accused its opponents in both parties of empowering the “deep state” while undermining constitutional liberties. Their anger was aimed most squarely at fellow Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who voted against the warrant requirement and in favor of the final FISA package.
Some hard-liners said they’re ready to travel to GOP districts to campaign against those who tanked the amendment.
“Every one of these members who voted against a warrant requirement, they are the deciding vote. They own it,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said after the vote. “And some of them may see me showing up in their districts very soon to campaign against them and to stand for the Constitution.”
Although the broader FISA package passed through the House easily — the bipartisan vote was 273 to 147 — the hard-liners demanding new warrant protections immediately blocked its transmission to the Senate. The move will have no bearing on the fate of the underlying bill, which the House is expected to send along to the upper chamber when lawmakers return to Washington on Monday.
But the weekend delay is designed to draw attention to Friday’s floor action, stir up conservative voters who might support the additional warrant protection and pile pressure on Republicans who voted against the measure this week.
“This is not off of the House floor, so everybody’s got to go home and answer their constituents over the next 72 hours about why they are siding with the intelligence agencies and the deep state and the swamp over the rights and the liberties of the American people,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said.
“That was the choice today,” he continued. “And every single person in this body, no matter if you’re a Republican or a Democrat, voted against an amendment to protect Americans, to protect them with a warrant, and they’ve got to answer to it.”
Reauthorization of the nation’s warranty spying powers has been a months-long headache for Johnson, who had been a vocal critic of FISA’s Section 702 as a member of the Judiciary Committee, but he reversed course upon taking the Speaker’s gavel.
Section 702 empowers the nation’s intelligence agencies to spy only on noncitizens living abroad. But in the course of those operations, the government frequently sweeps up communications from Americans in contact with the foreigners under surveillance.
Privacy hawks in both parties — including many on the Judiciary Committee — maintain that it’s unconstitutional for the government to peruse those communications without securing a warrant from a judge.
“Current law allows the government to collect sensitive and personal information on private citizens without a warrant. That is blatantly unconstitutional,” Rep. Andrea Salinas (D-Ore.) said.
Yet supporters of Section 702 — including those on the Intelligence Committee — say it’s one of the government’s greatest national security weapons. The new warrant requirement, they warn, would put the country at much greater risk.
“They now want to apply — which we’ve never done in U.S. law before — a warrant on searching a database of lawfully collected data,” said Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), a member of the Intelligence panel. “That’s [like] saying a police department can’t walk into their own evidence locker without getting a warrant — even though everything that’s inside was already collected via warrant.”
Johnson has defended his shift from 702 critic to 702 champion, saying he was simply given more information about the nature of the program after his rise to Speaker.
“When I was a member of Judiciary, I saw all of the abuses of the FBI — there were terrible abuses, over and over and over,” Johnson told reporters earlier in the week. “And then when I became Speaker, I … got the confidential briefing from sort of the other perspective on that, to understand the necessity of Section 702 of FISA and how important it is for national security.”
That explanation has done little to appease Johnson’s conservative critics, who are accusing him of abandoning his roots as a constitutionalist.
“We’re very disappointed that when we sent Mike Johnson away from the Judiciary Committee, he departed from some of the views that he held deeply,” Gaetz said. “We made Mike Johnson Speaker so that the Speakership would be more like Mike Johnson, not so Mike Johnson could be more like the Speakership.”
Still, Gaetz — who led the effort to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from power last year — said he’s not ready to launch the same attack on Johnson.
“I think a motion to vacate right now would almost certainly turn the House over to Democrats, and that’s why I won’t support it,” he said.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — a staunch FISA critic — has already introduced a motion to vacate, though she hasn’t said what might compel her to force a vote on it.
Whatever the ultimate backlash of Johnson’s support for FISA, its immediate effect was to ruffle the feathers of the conservative rabble-rousers already upset with the Speaker’s handling of the office.
“The will of the majority in there was to have a warrant provision, and he was on the other side of that,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), another FISA critic, said Friday. “There’s no red lines here. I just think he lost a lot of capital with that vote.”

Voter data expert hired by Trump on Johnson election claims: ‘He should know better’
A voter data expert who was hired by the Trump campaign in 2020 to look for voter fraud criticized claims by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) about election integrity Friday.
“Speaker Johnson is an attorney, and he should know better,” Ken Block told CNN anchor Jim Sciutto during a Friday appearance on “Erin Burnett OutFront”. “He should understand that hearsay evidence… what he’s talking about, does not stand up in court and it should not ever rise to the level that it is right now, where we’re impugning our election integrity and our infrastructure, based on hearsay, which is what he’s doing.”
Johnson has previously backed former President Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
“I have just called President Trump to say this: ‘Stay strong and keep fighting, sir! The nation is depending upon your resolve. We must exhaust every available legal remedy to restore Americans’ trust in the fairness of our election system,” Johnson said in a post to social platform X the day after the 2020 election.
Johnson also headed up an amicus brief signed by more than 100 House Republicans backing a filed by Texas to the U.S. Supreme Court that aimed to overturn the 2020 election results in states including Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Johnson and Trump appeared together for a press conference at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where they unveiled a bill that would bar those who are not U.S. citizens from voting, something that is already illegal. In the press conference, Trump said Johnson is “doing a very good job” when asked about a motion to oust Johnson from his current role as Speaker by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
“I think he’s doing a very good job, he’s doing about as good as you’re going to do and I’m sure that Marjorie understands that,” he continued. “She’s a very good friend of mine and I know she has a lot of respect for the Speaker.”

Is the consumer's right to own refrigerators threatened? I can't help but pull this up to see what it does:
GOP pushes "Refrigerator Freedom Act" as it focuses on home appliances
The Republican Party is set to put forward a number of bills about home appliances on April 15.
www.newsweek.com
If the people who enacted this were not anti science fossil fuel industry toadies, I'd be less skeptical of the umbrage they display in their rhetoric:
The text of the bill said, "To prohibit the Secretary of Energy from prescribing or
enforcing energy conservation standards for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers that are not cost-effective or technologically feasible, and for other purposes."
Was this bill needed? But then again, They are monkeying with the administration enacting regulations authorized under previously enacted bills that address consumer safety, reducing fossil fuel emissions and promote energy efficiency, all of which Republican benefactors such as Enron and their ilk oppose. Somebody thought it was useful to them. Follow the money as they say.

Trump throws support behind challenger of Washington Republican who voted to impeach him
Former President Trump endorsed a challenger to Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) Friday, calling the incumbent House lawmaker a “weak and pathetic RINO” in a social media post.
Trump threw his support behind Jerrod Sessler, the U.S. Navy veteran and former NASCAR driver running against Newhouse to represent the 4th Congressional District of Washington.
“Jerrod Sessler is a fantastic candidate and will be a GREAT Congressman for Washington State’s 4th Congressional District,’ Trump said in a Truth Social post. “A Navy Veteran, Entrepreneur, Loving Father and Husband, Jerrod will fight hard every day to secure the Border, stand for the Rule of Law, strengthen our Military, take care of our Vets, Defend our Nation, and protect our always under siege Second Amendment.”
“He is running against a weak and pathetic RINO named Newhouse, who voted to, for no reason, Impeach me,” Trump continued. “Newhouse has to go! Jerrod Sessler is MAGA all the way, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement – He will never let you down!!!”
Newhouse was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. He was reelected in 2022, despite Trump’s endorsement of another candidate.
Sessler welcomed Trump’s endorsement in a post on the social platform X.
“#honored,” Sessler said in his post, which featured a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post backing him.
Newhouse floated the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office after the Jan. 6 riot, according to the book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future” by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns. He brought up the suggestion amid a virtual meeting of House Republicans following the Capitol riot, according to the book.
Newhouse’s fellow Washington Republican, then-Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, also suggested that top Republican figures ask Trump to resign in the same meeting.
“I think another way out that we should consider as a conference,” Herrera Beutler said, according to the book, “is asking our own leadership to join with the Republican leadership in the Senate and asking this president to resign.”
