"If the necessary, but awesome power of the federal judiciary is to be

Those words today from federal appeals Judge Micheal Luttig.
Luttig was explaining his ruling that cleared the way Monday night for
Virginia's long-sought parental notification law to take effect.
Luttig writes in a 37-page opinion that federal Judge James Turk showed a
"palpable misunderstanding" of Supreme Court precedent on other law dealing
with teen abortions.
Turk blocked the new law for a few hours on Monday, before Luttig struck
down his injunction.
Planned Parenthood has appealed Luttig's ruling.
