Since it all comes down to abortion: I wonder how many Americans know that overturning Roe would NOT make abortion illegal, but simply send the issue back to the state legislatures where it belongs?

This is no doubt a fact that the Dems would like to keep secret.

But bot the Left and Right have been equally guilty of single-minded obsession with Roe v. Wade.

There are far more pressing issues at stake with regards to Alito nimination. Issues of Presidential authority, legislative oversight of executive power, worker and employer rights, property rights as well as civil liberties are all at play in this nomination. How Alito will fair from a populist rather than partisan perspective is less than clear. I for one will anxiously await his answers to his interrrogators even if they are a bunch of partisan, irrelevant, idiotic hubristic rubes.
