That quote comes from an answer in his confirmation hearings given to Diane Feinstein's question "What is your personal opinion of Roe v. Wade?" He avoided the question by saying it is settled law. The answer does not bother me because my hunch is why would he avoid the question if he had an answer that would placate her?
Why do I keep hearing Democrats and newscasters referring to Roe v Wade as 'settled law'?
Someone needs to point out to the left and the wacky women's groups that at one time in our history, women not being allowed to vote was considered settled law.
Someone also needs to point out to minorities that at one time in our history, blacks were not counted as whole people and that was settled law.
In other words, there is no such thing as settled law. When the people of our nation open their eyes and realize that an injustice is being done, they stand up and demand change. When the day comes, and it will come, that Americans realize that murdering millions of unborn humans is unjust then the law should and will be changed.
A few years back in a speech President Bush gave about equal rights for blacks, he said in essence that every year America lived with slavery was a stain on our Republic. I hope that soon we will have a President with the moral character to say the same about abortion and a Supreme Court with the ability to do something about it.
