Was their stance on the matter not clear?

They answered questions about the Constitution, which made clear that they would defend the Constitution and not legislate from the bench.

Anyone who is a Constitutionalist Judge has to be against rulings that offend the Constitution's text and intent, and Roe v Wade is exhibit A of bad USSC rulings that are no more than judicial legislating.

Yes, you're right that your wrong. They did answer questions about abortion. Both of them addressed Roe and stare decisis.

Remember "super duper precedent?"
