I'm constantly amazed at how many people actually believe a conservative majority SC will overturn Roe vs. Wade, AND that it will happen within minutes of the confirmation.

There is wishful thinking. And then there is reality.

Well, there's always the problem that it only takes one bad decision by a liberal court to change the landscape. Stare decisis is only something that non-activist judges adhere to. As a result, the court will always go into the direction of the activists.

But Roe and the cases that set up Roe with all of the eminations and penumbras were badly decided. A constructionist will chip away at that logic. But Roe will hold on by a fingernail even if all of its legal underpinnings are destroyed.
