If this is from her confirmation hearing from a lower court, it’s one hundred percent the right answer. Noncommittal and fact-based for lower courts.

It seems like she is saying the opposite actually.

I think "settled law" is settled until it's not. With the right challenge and I think one could revisit "settled law". Not sure it's a good idea to do that in just a contentious environment but just an opinion.

Not a problem IMO.

And Trump could do a lot worse and still improve the court over where it was during the latter part of RBG’s tenure.

The Court doesn’t make laws. They interpret the law.

What is wrong with her comments?

Her job as a judge isn’t to interpret law, it is to apply the law as written.

She should not be a judicial activist.

As a lower court judge, he position is to rule based on the previous Supreme Court rulings, not to interpret them based on her political/personal opinions.

From the position of a lower court judge, her job is to rule based on the precedents set in previous cases.

You want to change R v W, charge it at the level of the Supreme Court.

Her answers in the OP are wholly appropriate and the exact mindset I would want from a lower court judge.

Those were questions in regard to her a position in the Appellate Circuit Court - a Court that is subservient to the US Supreme Court. She has an obligation to uphold Supreme Court decisions as a member of a lower court. That is not necessarily transitive to holding a position on the US Supreme Court.

That is how we want a lower court judge ruling. She is to respect the supreme court decisions. The same jurist, but on the SCOTUS, can use her judgement.

Also, I have news for you. No matter how many jurists the Republicans appoint they are not substantially overturning Roe v Wade. I think 6 of the 9 on the court were appointed by Rep.

Good Lord, the stupid is strong in this thread.

This information is taken from her confirmation questionnaire/process for a LOWER court. Of COURSE she says she will abide by SCOTUS precedent, pending a change in direction from SCOTUS.
