In an op-ed piece, WSU law professor Robert Sedler argues that the Supreme Court will not overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, even if two conservative judges nominated by President Bush are appointed to fill the vacancies on the court. He points out that any nominee to the court who receives Senate confirmation "will operate within its institutional framework." He further states that "it has been very rare for the court to overrule a decision solely because a majority of justices now on the court would have decided the case differently had they been on the court at the time of the decision."
