It seems to me that "settled law" is being twisted. Roberts addressed this issue today with Senator Cornyn. Cornyn asked if that meant that it could not be overturned, and Roberts answered that indeed it could be. To me it only means "settled law" as it CURRENTLY stands, but factors could come into play that would be cause for re-consideration at some point. But that's just the opinion of a humble, non-lawyer FReeper.
Do you happen to know with which questioner, Roberts first used the term "settled law" vis a vis Roe?
Jay Sekulow was on Hannity and Colmes and just said what you did...
He said that Roberts answered the Roe v. Wade question, perfectly...
He made it known that though it may be considered settled law, the Supreme Court has reversed their own decisions before, and the door is open to this being reversed also.
