Three of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees for U.S. district courts in Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania have committed to adhering to all binding Supreme Court precedents, including the controversial 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade. U.S. Magistrate Judge Adam B. Abelson, nominated for a trial court judgeship in the District of Maryland, emphasized his obligation to follow the Supreme Court’s recent rulings, stating, “Because Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were overruled by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, I would not follow those cases, and I would instead faithfully apply the Dobbs decision in cases before me.”
In their written responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the nominees were questioned about various landmark decisions, including Brown v. Board of Education and significant gun-rights rulings. For more details, visit the original article.
