5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Grosso and Gregg's Store discussed President elect Donald Trump's comments

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: on CBS sixty Minutes that last year's landmark decision validating

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: same sex marriage is settled law and the landmark decision

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: of Roe v. Wade recognizing abortion rights is not. They

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: spoke to Urban Zemerinsky, a law professor at the University

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: of California Irvine School of Law Irwin. Roe v. Wade

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: was decided by the Supreme Court in nineteen seventy three

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: overfel the Hodges was decided last year. Is there any

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: difference in what Trump is calling settled law? A Supreme

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Court president is settled only so long as the justices

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: wanted to be settled. If the five votes to over

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: rule Roe v. Wade, Roe v. Wade will be overruled.

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: If there's five votes to overrule over then Overslvis Hodges

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: will be overruled. One is no more settled on the other,

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: or when is there an argument that Roe v. Wade

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: is actually more settled than Abergion felt, given how old

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: it is, given that the Court has has reaffirmed it

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Of course, the Supreme Court is

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: much more reluctant over rule longstanding precedence. Ro v. Wade

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: was decided in January nine seventy three, Alberta was June

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: of two thousand fifteen. Also, the Supreme Court says that

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: it's reluctant overrule decisions when there's been reliance upon them.

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: Obviously there's been a great deal of reliance upon roversus Wade.

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: But the reality is said, if there are five justices

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: who want to over rule Roe v. Wade, it's going

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: to be overruled. If there's five just to want to

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: overrule over Fall, it will be overruled. Now, I think

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: that Roe v. Wade is probably more controversial and will

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: be more controversial in the years ahead. Been society seems

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: to relatively quickly accepted mirrage equality. There's a good society

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: who vehemently opposes versus Wade. But keep in mind in

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: that regard that Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas and

37
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Alito dm in decents and over Thall. If two justices

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: who are like minded join the Court, there will be

39
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: five votes to overrule over Thall, just like five votes

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: to overrule Row And I could easily imagine, given the

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: strong cassions involved, that they would want to do so.
