    Republican state Rep. Jim Walsh dismisses Mena’s concerns.

    “I believe that legislation is unnecessary,” he told Stateline in an interview. “I think it’s what is generally considered a statement bill, but you have to treat it seriously. I’m not sure what they’re getting at here other than a swipe at Donald Trump.”

    I won’t overrule Roe v Wade if you confirm my appointment. It’s settled law. (or something akin to that)

    The problem with this scenario is that it is completely wrong. The Supreme Court will not overrule Roe v. Wade.

    Stupid people fall for this shit. GOP are proven liars. Don’t take any chances with them. Orange gave them permission to be as awful as they want to be and they are seizing it… again, but even more this time.

      Exactly. We can’t rely on any sort of subtly or assumption of law. Precedent, be it of the courts or simply the traditional way of doing things, won’t stop them. It has to be solid law, and they’re still going to take it to court.
