America has been given a hard lesson in how fragile individual rights can be in the hands of ideological actors in positions of power. Just four months ago, abortion was a constitutional right in America. Today, thanks to six conservative judges on the Supreme Court, it is not. But the hardest lesson came in the form of false promises made during the Senate confirmation hearings of these judges over the past thirty years, most infamously by Justice Brett Kavanaugh who vowed that he considered Roe v. Wade to be “settled law” before voting to trash it.
