Kavanaugh questioned if Roe v. Wade was 'settled law' in leaked email
By Jordain Carney - 09/06/18 10:40 AM EDT

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh questioned in 2003 if Roe v. Wade was "settled" law during his time in the White House counsel, according to emails given to the New York Times.
 
Kavanaugh, in an email obtained by the newspaper, proposed deleting a line out of the draft of an opinion piece that said “it is widely accepted by legal scholars across the board that Roe v. Wade and its progeny are the settled law of the land."
 
Kavanaugh, according to the email, questioned if legal scholars did agree that Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that established the right to an abortion, was settled.
 
"I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land at the Supreme Court level since Court can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so," Kavanaugh wrote according to the Times.
 
The email was part of a batch of "committee confidential" documents given to the Times. The "committee confidential" blocks the emails from being released or discussed publicly.

If he does that then McConnell should begin the steps to expel Booker from the Senate and strip him of all his committee positions.

That'll never happen although Booker violated committee rules...this is why he did it cause he knows nothing will happen to him

Sadly you're right.  The first card that would be played is the race card.  And he'd hide behind that for as long as he could get away with it.


I mean we're talking about the same Dems who gave Gerry Studds a standing ovation after he was censured by the House for being a pedophile.

Why should they do any less for Cory Booker if he violates OPSEC?

[txradioguy]

Booker released confidential documents.  He and the Dems have now turned the Senate into a Clown Show.

The operational question is:  Will the contents of said email change any floor votes?  If it doesn't, then this is just wind in sails.

Black Privilege.

[txradioguy]

As a side note...at the time of the adoption of the 14th Amendment in 1868, 36 states and territories had laws on the books banning abortions.

Is it law for all senators to have cute women behind them when on camera?

Booker is showing his true colors.  He is a rat.

He is monkeying up this entire process.

There is nothing even faintly controversial about that statement by Kavanaugh.  It's true.  Nothing is set in stone in a democracy.

I hope I never have to hear Leahy again.

Little Dickie Durbin on now.  Time for a break!

The Olsen decision has nothing to do with the current Mueller investigation.


The rules for setting up the special investigator were completely different than they are for Mueller.  Must stricter guidelines.

[txradioguy]

Judge Kavanaugh "As we discussed in your office Senator.." Ouch!  The Judge pokes Little Dick Durbin with a sharp stick about his posturing in front of the camera.

So, Cornyn was just starting to dig into Booker's ass when C-Span says it's in recess and cut away.  I wonder what happened next?

[txradioguy]

Sheldon Whitehouse is droning on about Citizens United...again...meanwhile people are being paid cash money outside the Capitol Building to go in and disrupt the Kavanaugh hearing. smh

President George W Bush's records representative Bill Burck to Fox:

“We cleared the documents last night..after..Booker’s staff asked us to.  We were surprised to learn about..Booker’s histrionics this morning because we had already told him he could use the documents publicly"

The operational question is:  Will the contents of said email change any floor votes?  If it doesn't, then this is just wind in sails.

I don't see how it could.  The e-mail is in no way controversial.
