Examples of supreme in a Sentence

She was more pragmatic two years ago – just days before the presidential election – about the chances that Roe v. Wade would be overturned in coming years : I don't think the core case -- Roe's holding that women have a right to abortion -- I don't think that will change, but I think the question of whether people can get late-term abortions -- how many restrictions can be put on clinics -- I don't think that will change. Brett Kavanaugh, steady insider The federal appeals court here in Washington is seen as a professional stepping-stone to Supreme Court. Three current justices( John Roberts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas) served on that bench before joining the high court, as did Scalia.

And we are grateful not only for his service but for his family's service.

  4. Jackie Speier:

    If you thought the pink hats that women were wearing after the 2016 election -- and the 3 million women who marched around this country -- was a significant move, you just wait until this issue is put in front of the( Supreme Court) justices and if they were, in fact, to overturn Roe v. Wade, that is a picture in which you will see women with pitchforks.
