(2,347 posts)These assclowns only said that they respected stare decisis or that Roe v. Wade was settled precedent. None of them ever said under oath that they would never vote to overturn it, under any circumstances whatsoever, nor did they say under oath that they would vote to uphold it.
Every statement they made regarding Roe was carefully made so as to do the *wink*wink* *nod*nod* for the opponents of Roe and make supporters think what they were hearing what we WANTED to hear. They knew what they were saying and were also likely coached about how to say it. There is no way they'd go in there and put themselves into a situation where they'd expose themselves to a perjury charge...with the exception of Justice Beerbong and his sexual assault testimony...but that's a different story.
I'm NOT defending them. I do NOT agree with this abomination of a decision. But trying to charge them with perjury and/or impeach them over this is worse than futile, for more than one reason.
