When all the protestations are over, President Donald Trump will have two Supreme Court Justices. When all the hand-wringing is done, conservatives will have five Supreme Court Justices. While politicians will tell you there is no “litmus test” for Republicans, that test is how will you vote on Roe v. Wade. Sen. Susan Collins is just grandstanding. No nominee will be answering these questions during their confirmation process. This same test existed for Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayor. They knew they would not vote to overturn this particular ruling.
Trump understands where this is heading.
According to a Pew Research study, Alabama is staunchly pro-life:
Why this matters:
After this confirmation, the Supreme Court is primed to challenge Roe v. Wade. Alabama legislators should be prepared to act on this issue and represent their constituents, having nibbled around the edges of legality on the abortion issues for years. They have passed law after law that they hoped would pass Constitutional muster with Roe v. Wade in place, knowing they would likely be futile.
Now, these same legislators who have tried to effectively end abortion for decades must make a complete and total attempt to take down this ruling once and for all.
