There’s not actually a contradiction between supporting abortion rights and appointing strict constructionists. I would prefer someone who’s pro-life but the important thing is court appointees. Of course which party controlled the Senate would play a role probably.
it’s a matter of trust.
I don’t trust someone who cannot seem to find his “position” on abortion.
If he cannot find his position on abortion he is going to be indecisive come judge time.
My gut instinct is he would give us another Breyer.
