Jeff Sessions Should Not Think of Roe v. Wade as ‘the Law of the Land’

In responding to Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s abortion-related line of questioning on the first day of his Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing to become the next Attorney General of the United States, Sen. Jeff Sessions condemned the constitutional and human rights atrocity known as Roe v. Wade. Good for him. Just as importantly, however, Sessions also conceded that he views Roe as “the law of the land”:

“I believe it is a violation of the Constitution, and really an attempt to set policy and not follow law,” Sessions explained. However, “It is the law of the land; it has been so established and settled for quite a long time, and it deserves respect, and I would respect it and follow it.”
