How will the Supreme Court nominees of Democratic Presidents answer the question "Will you vote to overrule Dobbs?
That's my question, jumping way ahead after reading the New York Magazine headline, "Could Dobbs Be Reversed Like Roe Was?"
That's by Ed Kilgore. I'll have to publish this post and click on my "Ed Kilgore" tag to see what I've thought of his published musings over the years, but come on. Obviously, Dobbs can be overruled. We won't be able to stop talking about overruling Dobbs. Remember, we talked about overruling Roe for 50 years before it happened? Do the Dobbs haters have that kind of passion and stamina?
At some point in the next 50 or 100 years, there will be a majority of Supreme Court Justices who want to overrule Dobbs and get back to Roe (or forward to a new, better Roe (Casey was already a new, better Roe, and Roe can be re-improved)).
Now, let's see what Kilgore says:
The political conditions necessary for Democrats to re-flip the Court are exceptionally daunting. They’d have to hold on to both the White House and the Senate for long enough to get lucky with conservative vacancies....
He proceeds to talk about the 2022 and 2024 elections. What a short time frame! The anti-Roe forces worked for 50 years to achieve their goal. But in Kilgore's nearsighted vision, it's a fight in state legislatures, the very fight envisioned by the Dobbs majority envisioned.
He doesn't get anywhere near my question: What will the confirmation hearings look like in the future when a Democratic President gets to fill a vacancy? For decades we've seen the nominees of Republican Presidents grilled about whether they would overrule Roe. The tables are now turned, and the new nominees will be asked about overturning Dobbs. I suppose they will plug in the usual material about the value of stare decisis and decline to discuss whether Roe or Casey or Dobbs were correctly decided because it's a question that might come before the Court.
We'll get the right back, I'm guessing. And it won't take 50 years. And then we'll get back to looking for Republican Party nominees who will restore Dobbs. It will never end.
