REMINDER: During October 19, 2016 presidential debate, Trump promised to overturn Roe vs. Wade if elected.

"Well, if we put another 2 or perhaps 3 justices on, [overturning Roe] will happen, & that'll happen automatically... because I am putting pro-life justices on the court."
On @CNNSotu, @SenatorCollins downplays Trump/Pence's campaign promises to overturn Roe, says "I will not support a nominee who demonstrates hostility to Roe v. Wade, because that would mean to me that their judicial philosophy did not include a respect for established decisions."
.@SenatorCollins says she actually doesn't think Gorsuch will vote to overturn Roe because "he is co-author of a whole book on precedent."

"So someone who devotes that much time to writing a book on precedent, I think understands how important a principle that is." #dohkay
CNN put together video of Gorsuch and Roberts' carefully crafted comments about Roe vs. Wade during their respective confirmation hearings. Both of them certainly didn't slam door on eventually ruling to overturn it.
