CNN’s Toobin: Trump’s Got Two Justices to Overturn Roe vs. Wade, and Looks Like He’ll Get a Third with ACB

‘President Trump said, repeatedly, he will appoint justices to the supreme Court who will vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade’

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: “What is striking about Judge Barrett is that as a private citizen before she was on the bench, she was an outspoken opponent of abortion rights. And -- and, you know, she was involved in speaking to groups, and signing advertisements and you know, someone who this was a — a political passion of hers. And the idea that that is somehow entirely separate from her judicial philosophy and how she will rule as a judge, suggests to me that that’s just unrealistic. I mean, there is no precise barrier between political views and judicial views and -- and the other point that is just worth emphasizing is that President Trump said, repeatedly, he will appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will vote to overturn Roe versus Wade. What I think he meant by that was he will appoint justices to the Supreme Court that will vote to overturn Roe V. Wade. He's got too, he's got Kavanaugh, he's got Gorsuch and it looks like he'll get the third here with Judge Barrett.”
