WASHINGTON — As a White House lawyer in the Bush administration, Judge Brett Kavanaugh challenged the accuracy of deeming the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade abortion rights decision to be “settled law of the land,” according to a secret email obtained by The New York Times.

The email, written in March 2003, is one of thousands of documents that a lawyer for President George W. Bush turned over to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the Supreme Court nominee but deemed “committee confidential,” meaning it could not be made public or discussed by Democrats in questioning him in hearings this week. It was among several an unknown person provided to The New York Times late Wednesday.

Judge Kavanaugh was considering a draft opinion piece that supporters of one of Mr. Bush’s conservative appeals court nominees hoped they could persuade anti-abortion women to submit under their names. It stated that “it is widely accepted by legal scholars across the board that Roe v. Wade and its progeny are the settled law of the land.”

Judge Kavanaugh proposed deleting that line, writing: “I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land at the Supreme Court level since Court can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so.”

3. Roe will never be formally overturned

But the undue burden on a woman standard will be so watered down to allow all these restrictions or requirements to be upheld. Women in anti-choice states will be utterly dehumanized if they try to get an abortion. I know in some places they are now but it will get worse.

If Roe is overturned there is no longer leverage for the repugs to get poor people to vote against their self interests. So keep Roe on the books but allow states to make it all but impossible for a woman to get an abortion.

But let's not forget that it's not just abortion that is at stake. All rights, labor laws, corporation over the person, just about everything important to a decent society is at risk.

6. Thus Kavanaugh is proved to be a bald-faced liar.

I hope Collins takes note. Or doesn't she really care?
