If the Democrats fold-up and endorse this nominee and he swings the SCOTUS vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the country will be thrown into civil war. This is a time when they have to think of the welfare of the people of this nation and not just about their re-election prospects. If these senators become turncoats and wag their tails like little puppydogs for the Republicans, their party will be really lost. I think that their re-election chances will actually be reduced, if they support any of this fascist's nominees.

I think they should accept him. He seems qualified enough and not an extreme conservative. I think he is the best one they can get right now.
I honestly don't think he would overturn Roe at all based on his record. Of course you never know, but he has never given a judgment on abortion that I am aware of. Also, his opinion regarding the Hobby Lobby case, IMO that had more to do with religion and not the "rights of the unborn." I am inclined to believe he truly is focused on the constitution based on some additional digging I've done on him. Contrary to what the anti-abortionists like to say, no one is a "citizen" until they are born. Fetuses do not have "rights" because they have not been born.
Of course the guy could take a differing viewpoint but the Constitution doesn't talk about the rights of fetuses or embryos and if one is a constitutionalist, I don't see how they can interpret the legality of making abortion illegal.
I do agree with Steve though that people will lose their sh_t if Roe gets overturned - myself included.

I don't think that Anthony Kennedy would overturn Roe v. Wade, and am not 100% sure John Roberts would do it. I think the Democrats are going to save their fight for the potential replacement of Anthony Kennedy this summer that has been alluded to a number of times, or if Ruth Bader-Ginsburg kicks the bucket, especially if the rumor that the next Supreme Court nominee will be Ted Cruz is true.
