Legal experts say it's not only "unusual" for politicians to urge President Joe Biden to ignore a federal judge's decision to place a temporary hold on a drug used in the abortion-pill protocol but also sets a dangerous precedent that could ultimately undermine an entire branch of government for "no other reason than politics."
