They dont uphold starry decisis and say, we are just going to adhere to it, here, there are two things. one, such an abrupt shift with the personal changes. do not pass go, just off you go, feels like he has got his five, hes going to do what he needs to do. then it is the substance of the decision. when you overrule roe v. wade and people who spent 50 years with that as a fundamental right, you are going to have a different reaction. its not really about decisis or not, its really much more a r...

I asked her whether she agreed with justice scalias view that rowe was wrongly decided. she committed to obey the rules of starry decisis. she said she, quote, no agenda to overrule caseys, end quote. heres the question. do you agree with justice kavanaugh that "roe v. wade" is settled as a precedent and will you like justice barrett commit to all the rules of starry decisive in relation to all the cases? >> thank you, senator. i do agree with both justice kavanaugh and justice barrett on this i...
