1. He would have been about 11
So 9 years is the difference between settled law and unsettled law.

2. Ah. That seems awfully arbitrary doesn't it?
The emphasis was indeed on the use of the word "settled."

3. What's this got to do with the number of warts on a toad?
This man is grasping for straws. Let him keep talking, and dividing the GOP/TeaBaggers...

4. Because Roe v Wade is also settled law
that was settled when he was a little boy.

He was claiming that he would never try to overturn the Civil Rights laws because they were "settled" when he was two.

I say, let the same logic apply to Roe v. Wade.
