[quote="rockyreagan";p="199793"][quote]When it really comes down to it... would you rather see someone in the SC who follows the rules and does what he or she feels is best and within the rules set by precedent[quote]


I recall that you are pro-life (tell me if I am wrong) so don't go flipping out on me, but if that is true you should consider Roe to be the worst law in history, and if thats true why would you want to conserve such a decision?

I do think Roe vs. Wade was an ill-conceived law. But abortion is not the only issue that the SC is involved in. And if we get an ideologue that is just planning to toss out laws he or she doesn't like without value for the Court establishment, I would be frightened what else that person would do. I'm glad to see that Alito is a very sober guy that appears to be right for the job. But he is questionable in some people's eyes as to what he'll do with Roe. But I'd rather have someone like him who seems to be a scholar of the Constitution and respectful of Court procedure than someone who transparently goes in with an agenda and no respect for the Court or Constitution. If he shoots down Roe vs, Wade, power to him. But even if he doesn't, I think there are other issues of equal or greater importance and I'd like to be sure that he will take all issues under good judgement rather than worry about his position on one.
I think there is more to picking a judge than the inclination toward Roe vs. Wade. But granted, if they'd just strike it down, maybe we'd start paying more attention to the other things the Court does.
