Roger’s right: a challenge to the core abortion right within the next 15 years is far more likely than a challenge to one man, one vote. That, after all, is why everyone, including Feinstein, wants to get the question answered. The point of the reapportionment questions is to get a sense of his jurisprudence and to see if he can be damaged. But making sure the abortion cases come out the way Feinstein wants is the fundamental purpose of the abortion questions. The reason she’s so interested in Alito’s answer is that abortion jurisprudence isn’t, in fact, settled. If it were, she would be far less interested.
