All this OH ROLL BACK GAY MARRIAGE CRAP is very annoying, though. It's not happening. I don't care if we get 9 Scalias on there.
Agreed Roe/Wade is settled law but its the lefts current boogeyman in the SC....man on here said God knows how many times it was going to be repealed if Kavanaugh(go back and read the multiple threads on him if you want sources) gets confirmed and guess what today..it is still settled law.

And yet how many states are drafting laws that fly in the face of Roe Wade?
"Kavanaugh has already provided the decisive vote in eight 5-4 rulings with a traditional ideological split, including cases related to immigrant detention, the death penalty and sovereign immunity. In one of the most hotly anticipated cases of the term, he and the other conservatives decided that partisan gerrymandering of legislative districts isn’t reviewable by federal courts. And over the coming years, Kavanaugh will wield enormous power as the new, more conservative court takes up pivotal subjects like environmental regulations, guns and religious liberty."
I see nothing there that shows he has surprises those of us on the left. He's far right just like Gorsuch and Thomas and Alito.
Instead of far right or far left, how about we focus on who can stick to the original meaning of the constitution?
We're in the final year of a presidency so we can't fill the position and have to wait for the election results right PUBS? Thats how this works right?

The Government can't just void how many hundreds of thousands of marriages.....can you imagine how tied up the courts would be with everyone suing? So if the marriage wasn't valid, who gets what that they bought together in the divorce? That's just one of a million reasons why they won't touch it. Well more than half of Americans support it, anyway.
Same sex marriage isn't going anywhere. It was settled 4 years ago. The Pat Robertsons of the world can get get the **** over it. Most republicans don't even care. Just cause they don't go to pride parades it doesn't make them bigots.
I'm in one, just btw. Not worried one bit.
Edit: My irritability wasn't directed at you, this is just an issue that really gets under my skin because it would never happen.
I agree. Same sex marriage isn't going anywhere. Now, with a solidly conservative Supreme Court, don't expect LGBT rights to be further expanded. But that's hardly the same as ditching same sex marriage. The precedent is too new.
Now, Roe v. Wade has never been settled law and its always been under attack as it has no foundation within the Constitution. A 6th conservative vote on the Supreme Court would essentially gut Roe, which is fine with me.
