NFL season starts Thursday, Sept 6....so...Confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are set to begin Sept. 4, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced on Friday.
The science of when life begins has been altered a bit since Roe, and the ruling itself seems to assert that when the medical/scientific communities pin down that fact, the ruling is upended.While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) stated that during her meeting with Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Kavanaugh said he agreed with Chief Justice John Roberts that Roe v. Wade is settled law.
Collins said, “We talked at great length about precedent and the application of stare decisis to the abortion cases. … We talked about whether he considered Roe to be settled law. He said that he agreed with what Justice Roberts said at his nomination hearing, in which he said that it was settled law.”
A set of justices can point to Roe to terminate Roe, by upholding and honoring the ruling itself.9B
As we have intimated above, it is reasonable and appropriate for a State to decide that at some point in time another interest, that of health of the mother or that of potential human life, becomes significantly involved. The woman's privacy is no longer sole and any right of privacy she possesses must be measured accordingly.
Texas urges that, apart from the Fourteenth Amendment, life begins at conception and is present throughout pregnancy, and that, therefore, the State has a compelling interest in protecting that life from and after conception. We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.

If you've watched "The Swamp" you hear "team player" differently, recognizing who Kav is appealing to...Spoiler: it's not you and I.The confirmation hearing for Brett Kavanaugh gets started in a few minutes, but we’re already seeing excerpts from his opening statement, which include this praise for Merrick Garland, who we all know was President Obama’s choice to replace Justice Scalia until Cocaine Mitch went full Cali cartel on Senate Dems:
In his opening remarks, Brett Kavanaugh will praise Merrick Garland as a "superb chief judge." He later adds that if confirmed, he would be "committed to deciding cases according to the Constitution and laws of the U.S. I would always strive to be a team player…"

"I would always strive to be a team player on the Team of Nine," he added.
The Supreme Court is more often thought of as nine separate judges, rather than a team. And on the most contentious cases, the court tends to split into two sides, conservative and liberal.
meanwhileThe ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary on Friday gave its highest rating of well-qualified to Kavanaugh, a 53-year-old judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The ABA standing committee evaluates nominees based on professional competence, integrity and judicial temperament.
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is opposing Kavanaugh after examining about 300 of his opinions. “Based upon our review,” the group said in a report, “we believe that Judge Kavanaugh’s views reflect a very narrow definition of what constitutes a civil right and an undue skepticism about the importance of protecting those rights in the courtroom.
Where do you catch the most flak?Democrats plotted coordinated protest strategy over the holiday weekend and all agreed to disrupt and protest the hearing, sources tell me and @frankthorp

Opposing Kavanaugh himself is only part of it. From what I hear from the other side of the political spectrum, there's also a sense that they are going to get the majority in the House and Senate, and therefore be able to impeach Trump regardless of the Mueller investigation. I usually just listen to the drivel and don't respond to it or question it, but I couldn't help but ask this to one person. "Even if Trump gets impeached, all that does is leave Pence as President, then what? It's not like Pence is going to appoint a RBG clone. He didn't have an answer at first, like he hadn't thought of that, then said that with a Democratic majority they could delay any confirmations until 2020, when the new (Progressive) president gets elected.Mustang380gal wrote:Durbin/Democrat plot to disrupt hearings

If he was swampy or squishy, they wouldn't be trying so hard to keep him out.
