Supreme Court Question For Those On The Left

It still is.

It was never overturned, the decisions made in the opinion by Chief Justice Tanney, still stand.
It was overturned...by Constitutional Amendment that should never have been required has the Court been correct in it's decision in Dred.

It is considered the WORST decision in Supreme Court History.

Roe was also a terrible decision. It created a "right" out of thin air.

Even RBG understood it was a bad decision... but it gave leftists what they wanted, a way around the legislative process... so they embraced it.
 
interesting…

And did those Justices claim it to be settled case law when they were confirmed?
Does it matter?

Does slavery suddenly become a great precedent if they did?


Would that make slavery more palatable to you?

Besides...it's a dumb argument ... Supreme Court Justices don't answer to Congress on how they will decide cases...and shouldn't. The Court isn't supposed to be a political branch...it's supposed to interpret the law.

Missouri's Dred Scott Case, 1846-1857. In its 1857 decision that stunned the nation, the United States Supreme Court upheld slavery in United States territories, denied the legality of black citizenship in America, and declared the Missouri Compromise to be unconstitutional.

As I said, the decision in the Dred Scott decision still stand.

The Missouri compromise was never reinstated.
 
wrong again,, scotus can only decide if a law abides the constitution,,
They have just recently thrown out regulation, because it didn't comport with statute law. Even though it didn't violate the constitution.
So you're wrong, about the scotus ONLY decide constitutionality.

Precedent is DEAD

And that could well remove the 2A from the gun issue

Which is why the senate gets to determine a judges qualifications, and if his judicial philosophy comports to what they approve of in the highest court of the land, before they serve on the highest court of the land. Because as you got right, it's too late after they're confirmed.
 
The context was testifying to the US Senate under oath.

When asked if they would overturn Roe, they all say that it was settled law, and they believe in Stare Decisis.
It was settled law, but that doesn't mean it's etched in stone.
They hadn't even heard the case, and if it was etched in stone
they wouldn't have taken it up.
 
that only amended the constitution not overturn it,,

sorry for you thats a legal way to change the constitution,,
Read it again. The 21st amendment directly OVERTURNED the 18th amendment.

The 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment
