I can understand the allegation of hypocrisy, but these protections don't extend to just SCOTUS justices, or even just judges. It extends to jurors and attorneys as well. Just remember, this is a sword that cuts both ways. Intimidating the justices regarding Roe may be palatable to you, but it would absolutely be used in the future to influence a case you feel very strongly about in the affirmative.

That said, I'll attach some photos I've found from articles about the subject (and will edit this to link to articles if asked; I'm on mobile so links are a pain).
No worries, I certainly didn't take it as intentional. Also, thank you for providing the proof I requested, it is appreciated.
Quote:I don't tend to get irritated at politicians who do nothing - that's what they're good for. I will take umbrage with the SCotUS suddenly going back on their words (please note I'm not shocked as I trusted Thomas, Kavanaugh, Barret, and Alito about as far as I could throw their combined mass) about 'settled law' and spitting in the face of every damn American they sat in front of and lied through their teeth to. I'm tired of the country rolling over for these grifters and thieves.
Eh, we've really already covered this. They never said they wouldn't vote to overturn Roe, they merely agreed with the fact that it was, at the time they were asked, "settled law." Now this may come off as weaselly and mealy mouthed, but that's the legal profession for you. Words have very definite meanings and they did not give false testimony in this regard. In fact you have RBG to thank for this, she, IIRC, established the precedent of refusing to comment on how she'd rule on "x" during her confirmation hearing and pretty much everyone has followed suit since.
