Alito ‘Respects’ Roe V. Wade
Uncategorized Add comments
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Democrat, said Alito told him the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision establishing abortion rights “was precedent on which people, a lot of people, relied, and had been precedent now for decades and therefore deserved great respect.”
Also from that story.
“He assured me [Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)] that he has tremendous respect for precedent and that his approach is to not overturn cases due to a disagreement with how they were originally decided,” she said.

Then again, he has lied to the Senate during the confirmation process before. Maybe this is just another one of his lies?
