What will "push" the reversal of Roe is whom Bush selects as SCOTUS nominees, and whether they are confirmed. Nothing else. I wonder why the perfervid types are blasting away at Bush even before he gets a chance to nominate someone?

Exactly. Roe v. Wade can be overturned. There is increasing sentiment against mandated abortion. The 2002 and 2004 elections were very encouraging for pro-lifers.

But nothing will be done anytime soon UNLESS Bush appoints some good judges. If he succeeds in doing that, we could see the end of Roe v. Wade in fairly short order.

That won't end the fight. But it would be a huge step back from the Culture of Death.

Actually the Republicans (congress) can use Article III Section 2 of the US Constitution and limit the scope of the SCOTUS.

And they will not use their power in this issue since they will need a spine.

Miguel Estrada worked for Clinton in the Solicitor General's office and used the RICO law against a Catholic Pro-life man who ran a pro-life agency.

Actions speak louder that words, and so far, the president's actions in the 3rd Circuit in NJ is abysmal where he appointed 6 pro abortion judges, 1 of whom a democrat to the federal bench. I just hope and pray he does not do the same with SCOTUS appointments.
