if you’re just going to make my answer for me, why did you bother asking it in the first place?
You asked me if it was for nought.
Now you are telling me it was a political nothing burger as if you know zero Harris voters went to the Polls knowing Trump infested the Supreme Court with three liars to the Senators that Roe v Wade was
And you know somehow no Democrat voted for a pro/choice Rep or Senator as top issue.
I like to discuss facts here not things people make up.
We also we now have a human being who is the first trans member in the US Congress
The draft order says it represents the majority opinion of the High Court. With all three liberal bloc justices likely to vote against it — and reports indicating conservative Chief Justice John Roberts was also
unlikely to support completely dismantling the established precedent — the remaining five conservative bloc members are the most likely to potentially upend
Roe.
Three of those conservative justices — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — were confirmed in the past five years, under former President Donald Trump. Amid criticism and examination of how detrimental such a ruling could become, renewed scrutiny has been given to those three justices in particular, as their appointments directly led to the possibility of
Roebeing officially overturned later this year.
All three justices, as nominees at the time, gave answers indicating they would give deference to the nearly 50-year-old precedent protecting abortion rights. Their private conversations with lawmakers, too, are inconsistent with what appears to be their ruling on dismantling
Roe.
In 2017, Gorsuch was nominated by Trump, who had himself promised only to select anti-abortion nominees to the Supreme Court. Gorsuch sought to assure senators tasked with approving him that he would not take the issue of abortion lightly,
telling them during his hearings that he would have “walked out the door” had the former president demanded he overturn
Roe.
In an exchange with Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) during those same hearings, Gorsuch was asked whether he agreed with specific findings from
Roe, including the idea that, for the purposes of the 14th Amendment’s interpretations, a fetus is not a person.
“Do you accept that?” Durbin asked.
“That is the law of the land. I accept the law of the land, senator, yes,”
Gorsuch responded.
