Lighten up, people. The Honorable Justice Drunky Mc-Drunk Face only said that Roe v Wade ...

was a "super precedent".
He didn't say it was a super-duper precedent, so back off.

This means he's NOT a lying ass-hole who perjured himself before the Senate Judiciary Committee, so stop saying that!

Also, the honorable, eternally concerned, Senator Susan Collins should NOT have her piss-poor Katherine Hepburn impersonation shoved up her ass while therefore being forever after too ashamed to show her face in public.

After all, we're reasonable people, right?

Except that doesn't seem to be working, does it?

Wealthy Cons have endless money to strategize for decades, buy the best legal scholars, to make stuff happen while most Americans survive day-to-day.

they all paid lip service to precedent. Yes, yes, Roe is settled law, blah, blah, blah, ba, blah. None of them EVER said they would follow the precedent. The Supreme Court is not bound by precedent; lower courts, where those pontificating nominees sat, are. But the Supreme Court makes precedents, and these clowns intend to.

original constructionist. How can a woman with any understanding or self respect claim to be an original constructionist when women were their husband's property at the time the Constitution was originally written.

He looked like he had never even considered that might be a problem.
