TIp to Susan Collins

Maine's Senator Susan Collins met with Brett Kavanaugh who told her that Roe V Wade was "settled law." But as James Michael has pointed out, "Unfortunately, “settled law” means whatever the current Supreme Court wants it to mean, and has only as much power as the Supreme Court allows it to have. Dred Scott was settled law, until it wasn’t. Plessy v. Ferguson was settled law, until it wasn’t. Roe v. Wade is settled law, until it isn’t."
