The new Alabama abortion law is putting Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Sen. Susan Collins back in the spotlight
Kavanaugh has been on the bench for less than nine months after his dramatic confirmation hearings, but his nomination triggered a torrent of worry for supporters of abortion rights, fearful that unlike conservative centrist Justice Anthony Kennedy, he would consistently side with the right on the issue. Now critics are taking aim at Collins, the Maine Republican who essentially ensured his confirmation last October and said she was convinced Kavanaugh would not overturn Roe v. Wade.
John Roberts has voted for restrictions on abortion. Will he overturn Roe v. Wade?If the court does take up one of the cases, the decision could occur by the end of next June, in the heart of the presidential campaign. During the election season, President Donald Trump is likely to tout the fact that not only has he been able to place two conservative justices on the Supreme Court, but he's changed the face of the lower courts as well with an unprecedented number of appointees.
