Welcome to right-wing America, where if you're going to end a young life, you're going to have to shoot them.

And go to jail for it.

Anyone who deliberately shoots a baby should go to prison.

You willing to say the same about anyone who deliberately murders a baby by other means Bill?

Will you?

Taqqiya, nukka.

Lying to infidels is a requirement of Allah.

Non-issue.
Does it matter if he did?
Demoncraps never tell the truth, they thrive on lies.

Oh, I place Collins in the [D] category, even if she puts that [R] next to her name.

They let in Somalis so they don’t have to listen to the native born.

But at least they are voting for the R who can win there. When R stopped running true constitutional candidates, o wait.

These articles and “facts” mean nothing.

The left has decided that the justices lied to them.
There is no way to prove otherwise.

Guilty with no hope of being proven innocent....that is how the left operates.

She had no business asking anyone how they would rule on a future case.

They themselves have long chanted and harped about “no litmus test questions.”

-- Exactly. At the time they didn't have any cases before them on the issue. You can't say how you would rule on a issue until that particular issue is presented to the court and base a decision on what facts and arguments are presented. --

I think there are more factors involved.

One can see the charade by studying Roberts' concurrence, which resembles the Dershowitz whinge. The question of whether or not SCOTUS may properly assign a "right" was not the question. Dershowitz goes so far as to assert that SCOTUS had to wait for a state to ban abortion before it could get to that question.

Lots of ways to frame that point of view. I'll call it process over substance. It's possible to nibble around the real issue indefinitely, by taking things case by case. That's what Roberts would do - usurp power in one big go. Rather than give it up, pretend to give it up by shifting the legal analysis, conceding little pieces here and there, but never letting go of "abortion, via privacy, is a constitutional right therefore you must come to us with the issue every time the issue comes up."

Similar game on RKBA, but in terms of what constitutes and does not constitute infringement. Case law is psychotic on this issue - but SCOTUS just nibbles at the margins.

The other factor involved is the makeup of the court. If the court was majority liberal, or majority conventional (never get to the core issue, always retain power to the court or to the feds), and say flip ACB, then Roberts would have written the majority opinion, and Kavanaugh may have signed on to a dissent by Alito. In that case, Collins wouldn't say ANYTHING about having been lied to or mislead. And justices being people, there is a certain amount of go along to get along involved.

Collins has always been openly pro-abortion.

The issue is still alive. The legislators control the issue.

It’s obvious that the courts don’t have the power to settle the issue - meaning even if that policy was delegated to the courts, they could not resolve it. Now that the courts have washed hands of it, the legislators can show off how capable they are when they have the power. two campaign issues. One is the issue itself, the other is over whther or not the federal government has any authority here at all.

Did Susan Collins lie to her constituents about how long she would serve as Senator? Why, YES, she did:

In theory, the justices are supposed to decide how to vote after listening to the pleadings, conferencing with each other, and reviewing draft opinions.
