Clement would be a disaster she is for precedent.

At her confirmation hearing Clement said Roe V Wade was settled.

She will uphold all the horrible decisions of the supreme court of the last few decades based on precedent.

Please please don't nominate her.

Those scum democrats ruined this nomination, if it wasn't for them Owen would have had three years as a circuit court judge and could have been nominated and Estrada would have been a d.c circuit court judge and would have been a hispanic conservative a perfect choice.

All judges are for precedent.

If a judge is not, it puts chaos into the law.

At her confirmation hearing Clement said Roe V Wade was settled.

Here are the relevant remarks from her confirmation hearing. I'm sure--if she is the pick--these will be infinitely parsed in the next few days.

These were written responses to questions from Senator Kennedy:

Question 2B: Do you believe the constitution contemplates a ``right to privacy''?

Answer: Yes, as I stated in my responses to the follow-up questions asked by Senator Kohl, I do believe that the Constitution contemplates a right to privacy. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the Constitution encompasses a right to privacy.

Question 2C: Do you believe the constitutional right to privacy encompasses a woman's right to have an abortion?

Answer: The Supreme Court has clearly held that the right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution includes the right to have an abortion. The cases handed down by the Supreme Court on the right to abortion have reaffirmed and redefined this right, and the law is settled in that regard. If confirmed, I will faithfully apply Supreme Court precedent.
