I've been sitting here trying to figure out why Clemont saying that Roe is settled law is causing so much panic among the pro lifers on this thread. Roe is settled law. True. This woman didn't say she agreed with it, did she? She or any other nominee can't be sworn in one day and change Roe the next.

I'm a staunch pro lifer and Catholic to boot. Somebody needs to explain to me why I should be tearing my hair out, gnashing my teeth and praying the rosary over this "maybe" nominee by Bush.

I'm with you, seems like there may be some caffeine overdoses around here, let the DU be the ones that go nutz.

Because it could well mean that she doesn't think Roe should be overturned because a precedent has been established. The point is we don't know. The pick is a Russian-Roulette pick.

I think it would sound better if she had said there is a lot of precedent than that the matter was settled. Settled seems to imply that no decisions can be made about Roe.

Roe can be overturned just like the Dredd Scott decision.
