It's time to say it: The conservatives on the Supreme Court lied to us all

[discocrisco01]

Yes, I'm talking about the conservative justices on the Supreme Court, and the abortion rights those justices have now made clear they will eviscerate.

Even in the face of what we saw at the court on Wednesday - when at least five of the six conservatives made clear their intention to overturn Roe - press accounts continued offering euphemisms and weasel words, about "Inconsistencies" or "Contradictions." But sometimes the right puts its purposes in the open.

Asked whether the Constitution protects intimate personal decisions on subjects like abortion and marriage, he said, "I have never expressed personal views as a judge on this subject, and that is because my personal views do not matter." Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. insisted that as a justice he would merely locate the objectively right decision in all cases, calling "Balls and strikes" without concern for any preferences of his own.

Asked if Roe was settled law, he replied, "It is settled as a precedent of the Court, yes." David Von Drehle: What the conservative arguments against abortion get all wrong Confronted at his hearing with a previous written statement that the Constitution does not protect the right to abortion, Samuel A. Alito Jr. vowed that as a judge, he would "Put aside" the opinions he had as a lawyer and "Think about legal issues the way a judge thinks about legal issues." Taking the cake was Clarence Thomas, who swore he had never had a conversation about Roe.

10. And even if roe is upheld, I doubt Kavs will be signing onto the majority opinion.

At least we will get to watch her try and weasel her way out of her own complicity trap.

5. Uh, the Federalist society made them promise never to mention Roe

until they were on the supreme court. but they didn't get the Fed society approval if they were against Roe.

Just watch the confirmation hearings, they are, the dumbest smart people you'd ever have seen, with the aimless answers and hem and hawing and the we all agree it's settled law, yada yada we'd never change anything.

did the judical crisis network buy at least the last 3 seats for about 10 million. seems like a pretty sweet deal.

We all know abortion to conservatives if not about Babies or life, It's all about controlling women and it always has been !

9. Who the fuck was stupid enough to think they weren't lying?

Everyone knew they were lying during their hearings and people are either lying or complete idiots if they say otherwise.
