Anyone know the details of upcoming protests in nyc? #RoeVWadeprotest#nycprotests I haven’t seen anything else aside from the previous USQ and WSP ones
1. Samuel Alito (2006)
During his confirmation hearing, which took place in January 2006, Alito declined to say much directly about Roe. He called it an "important precedent of the Supreme Court" but stopped short of calling it settled law.

2. Clarence Thomas (1991)
During his confirmation hearing in 1991, Thomas refused to state an opinion on abortion or whether Roe had been properly decided. Doing so could compromise his future ability to rule on cases related to Roe, he said.

3. Neil Gorsuch (2017)
During Gorsuch's confirmation hearing in early 2017, he refused to take a position on Roe. He told Sen. Lindsey Graham, that he "would have walked out the door" had Trump asked him to overturn Roe.

4. Brett Kavanaugh (2018)
Sen. Susan Collins said Kavanaugh had told her he considered Roe to be "settled law.”
But Kavanaugh stopped short of repeating that line in his hearing, instead focusing on Roe's status as Supreme Court precedent.

5. Amy Coney Barrett (2020)
Barrett was asked if she considered Roe to be a "super-precedent."
She answered by defining super-precedent as "cases that are so well settled that no political actors and no people seriously push for their overruling."

6. John Roberts (2005)
During his confirmation hearing, Roberts said Roe was "settled as a precedent of the court."
For the court to overturn a prior decision, Roberts said he thought it was not sufficient to believe the case had been wrongly decided.

@DamonAlbarn I was such a big fan of yours until I saw this. I write ALL of my own songs. Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging. You don’t have to like my songs but it’s really fucked up to try and discredit my writing. WOW.
Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard working women by defining this horse shit as FuNnY. Also, @netflix after Miss Americana this outfit doesn’t look cute on you 💔 Happy Women’s History Month I guess
