I’m not convinced that it will be overturned.

Roberts said he’d respect precedent in his confirmation hearings.

Gorsuch said it was settled law.

Kavanaugh as well, in his last confirmation hearing.

Are they not being truthful?

Ronald Reagan appointed three justices, Scalia, O’Connor and Kennedy.

O’Connor and Kennedy confirmed Roe in Casey Vs Planned Parenthood.

I would tend to agree. It is really just a scare tactic the left is employing.
It seems more likely that the Court could give more leeway to the states regarding limits, much of which is based on science
 
I honestly don’t think we’ll deviate from where it has ended up in most of Europe, where the abortion limit is 12 weeks for >90% of the members.

Most liberals don’t acknowledge that Europe is far more conservative on abortion than the USA.

I think folks who say that are trying to make themselves feel better.

Besides, a strict adherence to the Constitution requires no ideology, per se, and that same strict adherence would undo Roe, Obergefell, and many others mistakes.

Whether these cases are challenged remains to be seen, but the Founders didn’t envision justices who spouted ideology the way Ginsburg does every time she attends a women’s empowerment forum and defends abortions rights.
 
A lot is a gut feeling at this point.

He was associated the Bush administration and married Bush’s personal secretary, I believe. This may or may not put him in close association with the neo-con mindset. He was also part of the Starr team that investigated the Vince Foster death. In this investigation Foster’s death was ruled a suicide but there apparently was a lot of “conspiracy theory” info about cover ups and all the evidence from the investigator notes that wasn’t presented… Whether there was or not, remains to be seen. How much Kavanaugh knew or didn’t know and his ability to do more than he did remain a question in some minds. In any case like this there are always doubts cast on the findings, so this may not be substantial. One thing I do appreciate is his strong stance on gun rights.

He does appear to have a weak position in regard to abortion, which concerns me. Here is a link below which addresses some of this. I think his silence on some social issues raises a lot of concerns where he stands and may at times side with the liberals on these type of issues like Kennedy did.

Here is a blog link that kind of eludes to this:

Kavanaugh On SCOTUS Does Not Equal No Abortion

Trump just named his second Supreme Court judge, Brett Kavanaugh. Let's understand the pick and indicate it's implications for abortion. First, from CNN:

I feel him to be more of a beltway insider than I would have like to have seen. I am not saying he is a bad choice, but there are others out there who I would have preferred. As I indicated earlier, I tend to feel he will be a moderate in many of his decisions and will be a deciding vote on many key issues, so this appointment was very important. How he turns out, we can only wait and see.
 
I think Trump will appoint Obama when Obama shows his passport and college transcripts, proving that he wasn’t a citizen of our country.

Another desperate attempt by the Dems.Had Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett,they would have been screeching even more loudly in protest against her than they are with Kavanugh.No doubt they were hoping she would be the nominee expressly for the purpose of feigning outrage . Outside of Trump nominating a Dem there will be no pleasing them.Politics as usual

They may be labeled as such,however,there is so much truth wrapped within that sadly it isn’t funny! Have you listened to Chuck Schumer the past few day? No sorry more truth than you may want to believe ,so pathetic!
 
True enough,like I said,politics as usual.Before you bother to bring up Merritt Garland this is a different situation.Trump is not even halfway through his first term Wheras Obama was at the very tail end of his.Huge difference

Does Trump think Obama is not a citizen?

No, but at one time Obama apparently thought he wasn’t a citizen.
Warren had a similar episode in her younger days, which has persisted with her though.

Affirmative action should be for everyone, SELF IDENTIFY!!

I don’t the Merritt Garland case applies, mainly because there is nobody in power to block it. If the dems could hold together and block it I am sure they would. I am sure the republicans would do the same if they were in the same situation.
 
Sorry Peeps. I was tired and it was very early in the am when I wrote that, so I said things in a clumsy way. Yes, I know that overturning Roe v Wade would send it back to the states. That I thought it would get sent back and not abolished was what I was trying to say and that THAT was the best we pro-lifers would be able to get.

Perhaps,however,the outrage by the Dems,left ect somehow always is beyond the pale.You don’t see that with the Republicans.
 
I totally agree and what I was trying to say in my confusing way very early this morning.
 
I am extremely encouraged by Trump’s choice, primarily, because he is Catholic and will hopefully surprise the right by voting in line with Catholic Social Teaching with regard to the death penalty, immigration & the environment.

I do not like Neil Gorsuch who voted to allow a state to execute a man without due process just because the drugs they wanted to use to kill him we’re about to expire.
