Supreme Court Question For Those On The Left

You could have a court that overturns Roe one day, and then reaffirms Casey the next day.
When has that happened? That is pure speculation of what could happen and ignorance of the way SCOTUS decisions are made.
It hasn't happened because the court has in general supported precedent, even their own, so they wouldn't do that.

But a court that felt free to decide every casewithout stare decicis, and looking at each de-novo, could easily overturn Roe, and confirm Casey.
 
You are half right.

They get to determine if they are qualified...NOT if their philosophy jibes with the the flavor of the month in Congress.
Actually the senate gets to make the determination of confirming a judicial candidate on any basis they see fit.

They could vote strictly by gender, or hair color, or whether or not the candidate could rub their stomach and pat their head simultaneously.

The constitution gives them advice and consent, without in any way restricting the criteria they use.

Or skin color or ethnicity or sexual orientation or support for the institution of slavery, or bias toward the repealing of criminality of pedophilia...

.. But because you CAN do a thing doesn't mean you SHOULD do a thing.

What we want is Jurists who adhere to the Constitution... Nothing more or less.

And I can't help but notice that you steer well clear of confirming or denying that Roe v Wade was a poor decision.

Any particular reason for that?
 
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?
American liberals aren't leftists, they're in a category all by themselves. They're the "synthetic left":

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.
They all also said they wouldn’t comment on possible rulings. Even RBG said Roe was bad law.
 
Exactly.

Democrats WOULD have had significantly more leverage if they hadn't nuked the filibuster.

That is exactly why it exists.

It protects the minority from the majority.

If I were a Democrat...I'd be working to shore up the filibuster ... not weaken it.

The total failure of Biden and the Democrats has nearly ensured that they will be the minority party in 2023.
We need to institute something in the House akin to the filibuster where the House can't have limitless powers to do whatever the hell they want with a simple vote of 218-217.

They are going to lose in the mid-term elections, so it matter not…

A House, a Senate and a Presidential approval are more than enough checks and balances

END the Filibuster

Republicans should win the mid terms

But their MAGA candidates in the Senate will once again cost them the Senate
 
Nor should he seeing it will limit his power or chance of returning as the Senate Majority Leader…

Mitch is PISSED

Trump MAGA Candidates cost him Senators in Arizona and Georgia…..easy pickings for Republicans

Now, in a horrible economy where Republicans should clean up……he is stuck with candidates like Herschel Walker, Dr Oz and Kelly Ward
