As someone else said on an earlier thread ... Trump could do worse.

The Democrats would raise holy hell about this nomination simply on the basis of Barr's harsh criticism of Roe v. Wade over the years.

There are pros and cons to this guy, for sure.

Re: “The Democrats would raise holy hell about this nomination simply on the basis of Barr’s harsh criticism of Roe v. Wade over the years.”

I can’t find any “harsh” criticism by Barr concerning Roe v. Wade.

During Barr’s AG confirmation in 1991, he stated that the “Right to Privacy” is in the Constitution.

However, he did not believe the “Right to Privacy” extends to abortion.

He stated that abortion law should be decided by state legislators.

In 1991, all eight Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to confirm William Barr as Attorney General.
