Welp, Josh Hawley actually just blew up Barrett's entire point.
Barrett argued that she couldn't give an answer on Griswold because it's an active controversy. But Hawley just had her admit to that there was no active litigation about Griswold for the past decades.

SO, WHICH ONE IS IT GOP?
Either Griswold is SETTLED and she can take a position on supporting it (if she did) OR it's a live issue and her views on whether WOMEN CAN GET BIRTH CONTROL is kind of important.
PICK A RULE, HAWLEY, but you can't have it both ways.

Honestly, if these hearings matter what @HawleyMO did was one of the DUMBEST things he could have done. I really hope one of @TheDemocrats picks up on this.
This is what happens when @YaleLawSch lawyers try to act like shameless hacks. They can't even do it right. Leave partisan law to the professionals trained at @Harvard_Law to do this work!
