Re: Neil Gorsuch on abortion ruling in Roe v. Wade: ‘It’s been repeatedly reaffirmed’
I don't see how the mere acknowledgment that the Court affirmed Roe in Casey is a prediction that Roe will not be overruled, or a declaration of intent not to help overrule it. Roe is one of the most contrived, lawless decisions in the Court's history. I hope that Judge Gorsuch would vote to overrule it, if he should be appointed and a suitable case one day come before the Court. I also hope that President Trump will be able to place a second justice on the Court before too long.
How is this surprising? It has been affirmed by the courts, it's not going to be overturned. Duh.
