Plessy v. Ferguson, which we all consider wrong, stood from 1896 to 1954 -- longer then Roe v. Wade has stood.

Plessy said that "separate but equal" was constitutional. We all know that it meant second-class citizenship for blacks. Previously, the Supreme Court had ruled that blacks couldn't even be citizens.

Roe v. Wade puts the preborn in a position where they cannot even aspire to second-class citizenship. It enshrines a practice aimed particularly at the same minorities harmed by Dred Scott and Plessy.

Needless to say, progressives find it inviolable. (Well, of course they do.) Feinstein's remarks tell us all we need to know about her and her party.

All the more reason we MUST get Gorsuch on the Court ASAP.

Using this idiot’s logic, we can make any new interpretation of the case “double super precedent” ... That’ll make it iron clad and supersede any wimpy “super” precedent.

Feinstein and her pals agree. Nothing could be more important than killing babies. “ Listen, baby: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for me, but not for thee.”

Dred Scott v. Sandford was once settled law.

Why are leftists so incredibly hellbent on abortions as if it’s some kind of medical procedure women go through once a month? First off, besides the fact that they are killing a baby, having an abortion is not the healthiest thing for the uterus and WHY THE HELL does the public have to finance this insanity because some asshat is irresponsible?

ABORTION: "Settled law! Set in stone! It's right there in the Constitution, next to the right to sodomy and gay marriage law!"

2nd AMENDMENT: "Oh no, we can't have that ja dere hey there. That's a misunderstanding by the Founders. They meant "Bear Arms" on the wall! You can't own a gun me lad!"

She doesn’t seem to have any problem when liberal judges decide to legislate from the bench.

Roe v Wade contains restrictions on abortion.

If the Federal government has restrictions on abortion then where then the line can be changed and altered by the Federal government. Once you’ve acquiesced to Federal control (as pro-choice people have done) then you cannot then call it settled law, because laws can, and often do, change.

They lost this battle back in 1973 by actively seeking Federal courts get involved.

Feinstein sets a “super precedent” for the idiocy of a senator.

Say it Feinstein, say that abortion is the cornerstone of liberalism. Go ahead, say the words.
