COLUMBUS, Ohio — Republican Attorney General Dave Yost, while trying to get involved in a case before the Ohio Supreme Court that could have wide-ranging implications for how courts handle future challenges to new state laws, is staking out the same legal argument as a prominent Columbus Democrat.
In a Tuesday court filing, Yost says a Republican Delaware County judge’s temporary order blocking a Columbus’s gun control ordinance for over a year is similar to how a Democratic judge in Cincinnati blocked the state’s six-week abortion ban from taking effect indefinitely after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022,.
