Far-left Democrat Reps. Ted Lieu and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) wrote a letter demanding that the Senate leadership state whether they believe Trump-nominated Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch lied about their views on Roe v. Wade following the Court’s ruling overturning the 1973 decision, according to Breitbart News.
“We are writing because the legitimacy of the United States Supreme Court is at stake,” Lieu and AOC wrote to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), asserting that “multiple Supreme Court Justices misled the American people during their confirmation hearings about their views on Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood.” They added that Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch“directly lied to Senators.”
Lieu and AOC wrote: “As nominees during their confirmation hearings, the Justices did not tell the American people, or the Unites States Senate that Roe was ‘egregiously wrong from the start’ or that ‘Roe and Casey represent an error that cannot be allowed to stand.’ In fact, they expressed the exact opposite position.”
But even the far-left propaganda outlet The New York Times acknowledged that “neither justice explicitly said that Roe was a settled law that they would uphold.”
