"Roe was egregiously wrong from the start," 这是要推翻Roe v Wade判例draft中的第一句话
在参议会听证会上,手按圣经对上帝宣誓过的大法官们,面对全美直播下,红口白牙地回答对Roe v Wade判例的看法:
怎么现在变成“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,"?他们这不是在玩弄法律吗?还有什么integrity?truth?decency?
Neil Gorsuch (2017):took the uncontroversial line that Roe is a precedent. Precedent is the "anchor of law," he said. "It is the starting place for a judge."
"I would tell you that Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, is a precedent of the United States Supreme Court. It has been reaffirmed," he said. "A good judge will consider it as precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court worthy as treatment of precedent like any other."
Brett Kavanaugh (2018):"It is settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court, entitled the respect under principles of stare decisis," he said. "The Supreme Court has recognized the right to abortion since the 1973 Roe v. Wade case. It has reaffirmed it many times."
Samuel Alito (2006):"Roe v. Wade is an important precedent of the Supreme Court. It was decided in 1973, so it has been on the books for a long time," he said. "It is a precedent that has now been on the books for several decades. It has been challenged. It has been reaffirmed. But it is an issue that is involved in litigation now at all levels."
