Is The SC Now 6-3 In Support of R v W?????

[Beetwasher]

Support:
Ginsberg, Stevens, Souter, Breyer, Kennedy, O'Connor

Against:
Renquist, Scalia, Thomas

Just asking to see if I've got it right...Not for any particular reason or viewpoint.

[Goldmund]

1. I believe you're right

Down to 5-4 if Roberts gets in.

[Beetwasher]

2. And if (when) Renquist Goes, That Won't Change Anything Then

It makes me feel a bit better about the situation, but not much.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. That's right.

Meaning, it is still safe for now.

4. Kennedy was the swing vote in 92

he was going to vote to reverse RvW, but got cold feet at the last minute. He could go either way depending on what case comes up.

5. heard that in 1973, Roe v. Wade was 7-2

and the justices were somewhat blindsided by the reaction from the emerging Religious Right.
