Dems' Views on Court Missing in Debate, Editorial by Professor Moss

Professor Scott Moss’ editorial about the Democratic presidential candidates and their stances on debate issues appeared in today’s issue of The Rocky Mountain News. Read the full article.

“But the lack of any major ideological divide among the Democratic candidates is obscuring a few telling differences in their records - including in their attitude toward the Roe v. Wade abortion right - differences that have gone largely unnoticed in a campaign focused more on caucus date squabbles than our rights as citizens.”

“Six of the nine justices will be over 70 during the next president's first term (four would be over 80 in a second term), so that president might reshape the Supreme Court. Given these stakes, we cannot ignore presidential candidates' differences on constitutional issues fundamental to their choice of federal judges who will determine our rights for decades.”
