Senator Feinstein asked him about Roe v. Wade. He basically said that he should not discuss his views on it, but he said, on page 128: I have had no particular reason to go back and look at whether it was right or wrong as a matter of law as I would if I were a judge that was hearing the case for the first time. It is there. It is the law as it is subsequently refined by the Casey case. And I will follow it. And Senator Feinstein said: So you believe it is settled law? Mr. Estrada said: I believe so. So maybe he did not answer exactly the way you wanted him to in the written questions, but in the oral testimony he made it very clear that he would follow the law and that he believes it is settled law. I do not know what more he should have said.
