If "stare decisis" was an iron-clad rule, blacks would still be riding in separate train cars

It's a stupid argument made by non-lawyers who have no clue what they're talking about that "stare decisis" means Roe v. Wade can't be overturned.

It's a stupid argument made by non-lawyers who have no clue what they're talking about that "stare decisis" means Roe v. Wade can't be overturned.

The Court has overruled itself some 230 times over the years.

 

[DGS49]

Roe v. Wade was overturned thirty years ago by Planned Parenthood v Casey (1992). Roe established a trimester-based standard which, if you were paying attention, said that once a fetus had arguably reached the point of viability, it was a PERSON, for Constitutional purposes. PP v Casey tossed that out the window, and opened the door to aborting living, viable babies. Infanticide.

Those of us who have a good understanding of Constitutional Law have always known why Leftist Senators have always grilled Federal court nominees - especially USSC nominees - trying without success to get a "promise" from the nominees that they would not fuck with Roe v Wade. The reason why they went through this kabuki dance was because every knowledgeable American has known since 1973 that RvW was hanging by a thread. It was a preposterous decision, based on a fictitious "Constitutional right," and was one of the worst examples of "legislating from the bench" in American history.

The total overturning of RvW was inevitable. Thank God for Donald Trump.

yeh, what is it called when a group of people have total apathy/indifference about Blacks being made to ride in separate train cars and basically say things should still be like that due to stare decisis?

i dunno but the word... the ubiquitous, infamous word

RACISM

strangely comes to mind..

Stare decisis is to the left what all laws and the Constitution are to the left:

a tool only used or invoked when it works in their political favor
