Care to explain that to me.
If you are speaking about abortion I would agree but there will always be those who are able to get an abortion, and this issue will simply be remanded to the states and nothing much will change.
We have to change the culture and acting like jackals towards the President is hardly the route towards that end.
Other than abortion, just how are lives being DESTROYED?
Supposedly Brennan was a Roman Catholic; the court had no greater champion of homosexuality and abortion.
I guarantee you that during the Miers hearings, Miers will say something similar to what Roberts said about interpreting the Constitution the way it is written. But I doubt that the irate conservatives will say, "OK, now we know what she stands for."
They've already made up their minds.
Roberts did not say, though invited to, that Roe v Wade had any "super" stare decisis. We're talking SCOTUS here where the only absolute is the written word of the Constitution.
It's supposed to be. Then-nominee Roberts played the Kennedys and Feinsteins like a violin in those hearings, so your point about super stare decisis is worth noting.
