<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) graduated from Boston University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics.</p>
<p>Maybe she should have taken Law 101.</p>
<p>The bartender-turned-lawmaker on Sunday said President Joe Biden should ignore the ruling of a federal judge who on Friday suspended the two-decade-old approval of the so-called abortion pill mifepristone while a legal challenge proceeds.</p>
<p>The 67-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, does not go into effect for one week, a delay intended to give the Biden administration the option to file an emergency appeal. The U.S. Department of Justice said it would, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-judge-hands-anti-abortion-groups-partial-win-over-abortion-pill-2023-04-07/">reported</a>.</p>
<p>But forget all that legal stuff. AOC says Biden should just ignore the ruling.</p>
<p>On Sunday morning’s <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/04/09/sotu-ocasio-cortez-full.cnn">edition</a> of CNN’s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; host Dana Bash was blunt with the two-term lawmaker.</p>
<p>&#8220;You called on the Biden administration to do, which is just to simply ignore the court ruling. That’s a pretty stunning position, if you think about it in the abstract about the notion of just ignoring a judge’s position,&#8221; Bash said.</p>
<p>&#8220;So my question is, when this case is resolved by the Supreme Court, should the administration follow that decision, if that decision ends up banning this abortion drug?&#8221; the host asked.</p>

<p>&#8220;Well, you know, I want to take a step back and dig into the grounds around ignoring this preliminary ruling as well,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez said. &#8220;There is an extraordinary amount of precedent for this. There is a term known as agency non-acquiescence, and this has been used. And for folks saying this is a first, that this is precedent-setting, it is not.&#8221;</p>
<p>AOC claimed former President Donald Trump &#8220;did this very thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The idea of consistency in governance until there is a higher court ruling is not an unprecedented thing to happen. In fact, when the Trump administration did it, it was arguably through a much, you know, a very grave issue when it came to DACA,&#8221; the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy that allows illegal aliens who meet program requirements to remain in the U.S.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Trump administration was ordered to fully reinstate DACA, the DACA program. And they, in a complete defiance, did not do that. They rely on the courts, rely on the legitimacy of their rulings. And when they make a mockery of our system, a mockery of our democracy and a mockery of our law as the as what we just saw happen in this mifepristone ruling, then I believe that that the executive branch and we know that the executive branch has an enforcement discretion,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Bash returned to her original question: &#8220;Should that apply if the Supreme Court upholds the Texas judge’s decision?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, I think one of the things that I think that we need to examine is the grounds of that ruling. But I do not believe that the courts have the authority to, to have the authority over the FDA that they just asserted. And I do believe that it creates a crisis,&#8221; AOC said.</p>
