"[@mrddmia], a fmr. Judiciary Committee aide who now boosts Trump's judges at @Article3Project, called Roe "an abomination" and said he understood Hawley "wants to make sure that these judicial nominees are actually conservatives instead of just pretending to be conservatives."
...[@mrddmia] still disagreed with Hawley's approach. "We don't have litmus tests for judges, and the reason is we're going to lose that fight every time."
"...If conservatives legitimize the judicial activism game, it's game over for conservatives. The reason is that these liberal positions are oftentimes very politically popular..."
"[@mrddmia], who clerked at the Tenth Circuit the same year as Hawley, predicted the senator would not vote against a Republican high-court nominee who had not explicitly addressed Roe in public as long as the nominee has conservative bona fides."
