Maybe this will untwist the panties of some of our loonier members for now.

That is my take on it too. If Row Wade is established law, (unfortunately it is) than all judges under the SCOTUS must make rulings using that as a basic.
Once on the court, she had the right to interpreter the law.

She has stated that the Supreme Court 'has clearly held that the right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution includes the right to have an abortion' and that 'the law is settled in that regard.'" [snip]
That is precisely the stance that an appeals-court judge has to take, and it says nothing about how that judge would rule if she were on the Supreme Court.
It makes me damn nervous. I'd be happier with a judge who said "Roe is an abomination. There is no right to privacy in the Constitution. That ruling was made up for political purposes by activist judges."
Anyone who said that would have my support. This woman does not have my support.
To: Pokey78
I agree. I don't think we should be concerned with how a judge will rule on a particular case. We should focus more on the judge's overall philosophy and method of interpreting the law. While we can't secure a guaranteed vote, we can get a judge who won't be an activist on the bench. That's the important consideration.

As I said earlier.
To: ClearCase_guy
I would like that too but as in all other candidates for SC I think she should hold to tradition and state that she can not make any statement since she may be asked to rule on the issue in the future.
Hey it worked for Ginsburg.

doubtful, but we can always hope.
We should start a thread to vow to leave Free Republic IF....to match their numerous times they've vowed to leave the Republican party.

Guess you're right. Some folks are just bound and determined to piss in the punchbowl at all costs.

"BUMP" means the article goes back up to the top of the list of articles in the main window. Even simply responding to another poster will do the same.

Nice to see people here putting politics above life. What's that supposed to mean?
