Chuck Schumer: Brett Kavanaugh saying Roe v. Wade is settled law is 'a dodge'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., chided Judge Brett Kavanaugh Tuesday after the Supreme Court nominee told Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, that Roe v. Wade is “settled law,” calling that claim a “dodge” and arguing that Kavanaugh hasn’t fully laid out his views on abortion.

Schumer made the comments hours after Kavanaugh sat down with Collins and minutes before his own scheduled meeting with the judge. The New York Democrat said Kavanaugh needs to say whether he believes the landmark abortion case was ruled correctly.
