“While I will not ask Judge Roberts whether he would overrule Roe, there are, in my opinion, entirely appropriate questions on his jurisprudential views that might be asked,” the chairman, Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, says in the 1,436-word statement, provided by his office.
“For example,” the statement continues, “I consider it appropriate to question him as to his views on stare decisis, or following precedents, as well as his views with respect to the importance of stability in the law, which Judge Roberts has identified, along with ‘modesty,’ as one of his lodestones.”
This is the worst cop-out. Either a woman’s right to choose is important…critically important…or it is not. Just ask the fucking question. Are you with me, or are you with the Christo-fascists?
