Before everyone gets all excited about this Justice you might want to read this quote from him

"Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land. ... There is nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent."

Before you get too excited (or is it already too late?), you might want to remember that as a nominee for an appellate court, there is nothing wrong with this statement that you seem to want to plaster to every John Roberts thread...

As an appellate judge, RvW is the settled law of the land. Period. We don't like it, but that's the truth.

He also stated, when arguing a case as a solicitor that RvW was "bad law" and basically had no founding in the constitution and should be overturned.

Again, that fit the position he was in at the time, but I happen to believe this is a little closer to his personal philosophy than the "settled law" comment he basically had to make as a nominee for appellate judge.
