What about the precedent that existed for hundreds of years before Roe? That it was a state matter? How is Roe a precedent and that isn’t??

My thinking is it was 5-4.

For: Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barret

Against: Roberts, Bryer, Kagan, Sotomayor

The objective of the leak is to peel off Barret and/or Kavanaugh.

A Supreme Court Justice did something different than what he said at this or her confirmation? color me shocked.

Does the name David Souter ring a bell?

It’s believed to be 5-4 with Roberts joining liberals, although
Roberts’ supports the first trimester being replaced with 15 weeks.

I saw this on the internet but I’ve been zipping around so much this morning I could not tell you where I read it.

If Alito has made the judicial case that Roe was bad law, and they concur, then nothing they said to Collins would be contradicted by their decision. Alito simply said that the precedence was based on an unsubstantiated and unjustified interpretation of the Constitution and the context of case law that it was based on.

It's very unlikely Gorsuch or Kavanaugh would ever overturn Roe. They are #teamabortion.

However, RBG said that Roe was wrongly decided. Not because she was against abortion, she just didn't think it was the right way to do it.

“The objective of the leak is to peel off Barret and/or Kavanaugh.”

You may be right. However I was thinking that the polls must be real bad in the midterms for the Democrats to come up with this Supreme Court leak.

There are six liberal justices and ACB is TBD. Two conservative justices.

So, Susan Collins openly declares herself to be a pro-aborting republican. People should take that into consideration when she comes up for re-re-election.

There are 3 liberal justices, and reports state Roberts voted with them.


How many times does Roberts have to vote with the liberal justices before we start calling him a liberal justice? Personally, I did it years ago.

I did not know a decision has been publicized.

Not a decision or ruling. A draft, and we don't even know who sent it to politico or if it's a fake. Some loony SCOTUS clerk could have forged it.
