"Settled Law" [View All]

[journalist3072]

OK my fellow DUers...help me understand, or put more perspective, on this whole issue of "settled law."

We all know now that John G. Roberts once argued for overturning Roe v. Wade, but in 2003, said it was "settled law."

Does he think that should somehow allay our anxiety about him trying to curtail, or overturn completely, Roe v. Wade?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but just because someone views Roe V. Wade as settled law, does that necessarily mean they won't try to overturn it?

For anyone that has done their research, what, if any, examples do we have where a judge, or a Supreme Court, has tried to overturn something, despite it being settled law? I'm sure it's been done before.
