Thank you. I will get the ball rolling:

1. Do you intend to subscribe to any particular judicial philosophy? If so, which? If not, how do you plan to go about deciding cases?

2. Under what circumstances is it appropriate for the Regional or Supreme Court to overturn precedent - is it enough to simply disagree with the past ruling or is something more needed?

What do you think of Roe vs Wade and what do you think of Bacon King's atlasian version?


Given he was the swing vote and that only himself joined his opinion lol, your opinion will swing one way or an another

I hold BK's ruling in Politics Fan as precedental and do not wish to hypothesize about potential future cases.

Well,
BK's ruling was the following: abortion rights are protected by the constitution but a ton of restrictions on it can be passed.

Given he was the swing vote, 2 Justices wanting to strike down almost all abortion restrictions and 2 justices believing abortion isn't part of the constitution.

What are your views on this matter?

Personally, I don't mind the nominee declining to answer directly here. While I think Lincoln Abortion restrictions are sufficient given political realities and considerations of fairness and stability, I also think that if a future Court disagrees, they would prefer a judge who is willing to listen and come to a well-informed decision then one who walks into oral argument already having decided one way or the other.

That being said, the nominee is free to make any further remarks if they so wish.

With the note that I would have been happy to confirm this nominee, the nomination is withdrawn by order of the Governor.
