This has been out there. Sounds like he’s just stating fact. There have been several questions to him where the majority opinion went against precedent law, and HE took the side of precedent.

I don’t see where he’s saying either way on how he’d vote.

They should talk about how Brown v Board of Education undid legal segregation, which Plessy v Ferguson called constitutional.

Case in point: Brown v. Board of Education overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, and Plessy had stood longer than Roe v. Wade has stood right now.

What he's saying is common knowledge. That's why they're trying to get him to commit to "I will not vote to overturn....."

Remember.....the precedent for almost 175 years was that abortion was a crime.

And? He’s right - the Supreme Court declared slavery settled law then overturned their own precedent and that had the backing of the constitution.

From a legal standpoint abortion and gay marriage don’t even have legal backing and were decided on a whim and flimsy rationale.

And don’t even get me started on prohibition.

This is just muckracking and the Democrats doing what they do best - instilling fear ito their sheep populace to get them to vote as demanded.

Doesn’t Kavanaugh understand penumbras?

The 2002 information does not say what it claims. He did not “question” it, he said there was a question about whether other jurists felt it was settled, and whether the current supreme court felt it was settled.

He doesn’t actually say how HE thinks about it.

Like most of the stuff coming out, we learn that Brett was very good in his professional e-mails to be professional, to deal with issues without personal bias, making it extremely hard to hit him without some serious mis-characterizations.

Sorry, lefties, but there is no issue that is permanently removed from debate in this country just because you got a simple majority on the Supreme Court at one point to rule your way.

Of course it can. If it couldn’t we would still have segregated public schools.

Someone should ask Feinswine if she thinks that Supreme Court was wrong when it overturned the earlier SCOTUS decision in the “Dredd-Scott” case, since she seems to believe that once the SCOTUS decides, that’s it until the end of time.
