Supreme Court Question For Those On The Left

[Independent thinker]

Is it better that the SC overturned RvW and ruled favorably to the right on recent gun cases , giving you ammunition and better prospects for the midterms?

Or, would you have rather had RvW stay in place and won the gun cases, and yet take more of a drubbing at the midterms?

Which way is better for your overall prospects?

I would rather have a court that respects legal precedent

Even if Dems had won those cases they would have lied anyway and claimed the GOP was about to overturn RvW and legalize machine guns this fall. Dems LIE there's no LIE Dems won't tell.

You really didn't think your thought through before posting it, did you.

This is a radical court. they would overturn Obergerfell, and not care about the chaos that would become of it.

The simplest case if a gay marriage where one spouse died, and the other either inherited the assets, or the life insurance proceeds. And now that marriage no longer having a legal underpinning.

Laws overturned are treated as if they never existed, but unlike Roe, you can't retroactively prosecute an abortion. But you can retroactively annul a marriage.

Let's face facts, the left is a small minority in this country and they have minority representation on the SCOTUS so just stop whining.

It's not SCOTUS's job to respect precedent. Its job is to rule based upon the Constitution rather than repeat earlier mistakes. If the court decided the way you want, we'd still have a segregated society under the" separate but equal" doctrine imposed by SCOTUS.

Like slavery?

So Precedent is more important than Right and Wrong? Interesting.

What is so funny is if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 and the Supreme Court now had a liberal numbers advantage and the left was getting the verdicts they wanted they would love the court and the right would trashing it. It is really something to see these child like temper tantrum’s from alleged grown adults when they don’t get there way:

I'm afraid when we replaced Ginsburg with a conservative justice this pushed the Dems over the edge. Their hatred grew tenfold.

Saying it's not the supreme courts job is to ignore law from Hammurabi onward. Stare Decisis is important from the stability of the law. You can't have legal principles change from day to day. You could have a court that overturns Roe one day, and then reaffirms Casey the next day.

Next is Brown v Board of Education ...

Let me remind you. The Dred Scott decision was never overturned.

That's what the USSC said in Bush v Gore 2000

This court has an agenda
They are looking to have more influence than any branch of Government
Precedence has no bearing
Consistency in their decisions is meaningless

precedence isnt supposed to matter to SCOTUS,, only the constitution,,

Next is Brown v Board of Education ...

Ironically you give a good example.
Plessy V Ferguson was decided 7-1
Brown v Board of ed overturned it with a vote of 9-0,

The court made a unanimous correction.
