Why does that do? Its not you that's nominated for the USSC so any rewrite you do doesn't change the situtation. Herbert didn't make this stuff up.........past correspondence and comments by Alito suggest that he is against Roe vs Wade period; that he is not all that concerned with minority voting rights nor racial discrimination; and that he is most concerned about pushing his party's ideology and expanding the power of the presidency. Its the rhetoric used to express very legitimate views. Being "against Roe vs. Wade" means being in favor of letting elected state legislatures determine a state's abortion policy. Not necessarily. It means you are against right to privacy as it extends to women and pregnancy. If you overthrow Roe vs Wade, then I believe the argument for abortion is lost. I don't think even states could resurrect the issue. Being "not all that concerned with minority voting rights" means being equally concerned with everyone's voting rights, regardless of race/ethnicity. Again, not necessarily.....it could well mean you are concerned only with the majority's concerns. Each of these "objections" are just biased expressions of admirable, legitimate positions. Did any of the senators ask him whether he thought abortion law should be decided by the Supreme Court or by elected legislatures? No, but that is the real question. They asked him if he was for or against abortion. From what I understand, he refused to answer the question.
