I don't suppose they can be prosecuted for perjury?

[iemanja]

For lying about respecting precedent?

1. No

They can claim they evolved their thinking...

2. I think they should be and then impeached.

3. You can respect something but still vote to repeal it

None specifically said that they wouldn't.

4. The Bret Kavanaugh FBI "investigation" would be the best way to go after one of the Trump 3

I don't think there is any doubt that the "investigation" in 2018 was a complete hoax.

Next up would be Clarence and his wife's completely questionable involvement in the 2020 Presidential election.

However, these are longshots.

7. Yep. Obergefell overturned a 43 year old precedent.

There is no basis for charging them with perjury. Their statements were carefully crafted.

6. They can just lie again and say they changed their minds.

The power elite usually doesn't have consequences for wrong doing.

8. They don't even have to say that.

They never said that they would not overturn Roe. They never said that precedents can never be overturned.

12. Didn't some say

that Roe was settled law? Or did beer boy just say that to Collins?

[FBaggins]

10. Nope - and the decision documents it

Every Supreme Court justice going back decades has voted to overturn some precedent. That doesn’t mean that they were lying if they said that they respected the concept.

The argument is understandable but misguided. We all knew that they were appointed with this decision in mind… and almost every Republican who vented for them did so expecting this to happen and almost every Democrat who voted against them said that they were doing so because they knew this would happen.

14. Thanks for the quotes

I thought they had mentioned Roe. Others here didn't.
