Just a reminder: **calling for the death of other people or users is against the sitewide rules.** Doing so will get you a subreddit (and possibly site-wide) ban. Behave yourselves.

I mean, it was obvious to me that “Roe is an important precedent” and “I will not overturn Roe” are very much not the same statement. Was this not obvious to literally everybody else?

Every job interview is a conversation between liars.

When being confirmed: "it's precedent"

Today: "precedent don't mean shit"

It’s almost like they had a pre written response. Federal society if a Trojan horse. And these judges are simply fulfilling their end of the deal

Is this shocking to anyone? Every single judge appointed in my lifetime has lied to congress on what they are actually going to do.

u/redditortan has provided this detailed explanation:

In the United Status supreme court justices are appointed after a hearing from the representatives where they ask the nominees about multiple issues. Today US Supreme Court gave a ruling that US citizens don't have right to abortion overturning its previous decision in famous case called Roe V. Wade
All the judges who voted in favor of overturning Roe V Wade were specifically asked during nomination hearings whether they would do so or not. Each one (who voted in favor) said no at the time, but today they overturned the previous decision taking away protection under right to abortion

Is this explanation a genuine attempt at providing additional info or context? If it is please upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

We can scream and yell all day about this, but the fact is 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump over Hillary. Donald Trump then put these justices in place.

Elections have consequences.

The worst part is Susan knew he was lying but just looking for cover.

Watch carefully, They said it is established precedent. they never said they would not overturn it. They very carefully danced around their actual belief, that it should be overturned.

I notice what never gets shared is when Obama completely ignored his statement of making codifying Roe v. Wade his top priority. Drag them all, not just the ones they tell you to.

I've watched this video compilation twice and can't find any of them promising they won't overturn Roe V Wade.

What am I missing or is this just a post for clicks ?

This is largely (not entirely) the fault of Mitch McConnell - he dishonored the American people - not that he cares - by going against his idea of waiting to bring in a Supreme Court justice until the next president takes over. He went against the last wishes of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who herself requested that she not be replaced until the next president took over. McConnell set this up with his own greed and corruption.

If you didn’t notice, not a single one of these justices said that Roe shouldn’t be overturned.

These are the people that could oversee a Trump V Biden case when the house refuses to certify in 2024.

This is fascism in America

It removes your right to privacy. List of all politicians who have or had their partners get an abortion.
