The Phrase "Roe is settled law" means far less than it implies.


Right now, Today, Roe is settled law. That doesnt mean however, should a Different Case, with different facts come before the court that an analagous case wouldnt be decided differently.

the "Roe is Settled Law" is one of the undignified shibboleths that conservative nominees must put up with in the name of duty.

No More, No less.

That statement is way too sensible for many, I agree with it completely.

The Supremes overturn themselves whenever they "feel" like it, who's to stop them?

"Right now, Today, Roe is settled law. That doesn't mean however, should a Different Case, with different facts come before the court that an analagous case wouldnt be decided differently."

To simple me, "settled law" sounds like "precedent" and a person would have to expect the jurists who says, "Roe is 'settled law'", would continue right down the path of the Roe v. Wade decision. Especially when the statement is coupled with the one about the right to privacy providing a constitutional guarantee to abortion.
These type of phrases, IMHO, would not be coming from someone who can be expected to reverse course on the unspeakable crime of abortion. I am getting a little sick feeling in my gut on this one.
