Nor is Kavanaugh going to just run out there are overturn that decades old case. He has already said it was precedence that has been re-affirmed multiple times.
It’s kind of funny though, like here in Australia, as long as they have it in theory it doesn’t seem to bother them overly much that they don’t have it in practice.
I seem to recall that he’s said the opposite a couple of times too. But the challenge to Roe vs Wade won’t be direct, it’ll be nibbling around the edges, imposition of all sorts of extra hurdles and restrictions around abortion, not an outright ban. And I think the Repubs can be reasonably sure he’ll vote along an anti-abortion line if those sorts of cases come before the supreme court.
But he’s not being appointed to the Supreme Court because of his views on abortion, he’s being appointed because he has an extremely generous interpretation of the amount of immunity to prosecution that is granted by the office of the President.
I think it would be more than that as my impression is moderate Republicans as well as true moderates (and anyone left) are pretty annoyed about Kavanaugh. If they’d put up someone like Gorsuch then none of this occurs.
Instead, it now looks like the Republicans forced through a candidate who is openly partisan, lied under oath and is possibly a sex offender.
Anyone who watched Blaisey Ford’s testimony and has half a brain has no doubt he is one.
Everything said about him fits with an entitled white boy college jock pizzing up in the 80’s and exerting his privilege, … which is exactly what he was & is.
