Hogwash.

Barret may personally believe that all abortions are murder but I doubt that she believes that abortion could be made totally illegal by federal judicial writ.

For a couple of reasons I think Dershowitz is wrong on her and Roe.

1 Read the part in her Wiki bio on her views of Roe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Coney_Barrett

She clerked for Scalia for a time. Scalia was like her a devout Catholic. For all his disagreement with Roe, he did not think the Constitution alternatively had any mandate to ban abortion. As a Constitutionalist, like Barret, his view of Roe came from his view of the Constitution, in which he saw it silent and mute on aborion with no Constitutional mandate for or against it. Roe was wrong he said because their was no mandate for any Surpreme court decision mandating it be legal or mandating it be banned. I think Barret agreed with that and Dershowitz does not know what he’s talking about when it comes to Barrett’s thinking on Roe.

I think Dershowitz, and many others are making excuses, because growing Conservative analysis of Kavaenaughs federal case history is suggesting a “moderate” Trojan horse wrapped up (by the GOP establishment) as a “staunch Conservative” as “gift” to Trump.

The Constitution is also silent on cannibalism...
