Wha...??? happened to precedent on the Supreme Court?

[mrsadm]

And the lies from the nominees about respecting precedent?

And states rights on the gun decision?

Am I in the Twilight Zone?

1. Nope

You're not in the twilight zone. You're in the USA.

2. Laws are only on paper. Power is what's ruling nowadays. /nt

3. This court is dangerous. And I have the feeling they're not through...

with snatching the nation back to the 18th century.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Indeed! nt

9. At least to the 19th century. Plessy v Ferguson was decided in 1896.

A majority of the justices refused to say whether Brown v Bd of Education was correctly decided.

10. You ain't seen nothing yet! n/t

5. Supreme Court makes precedent. It is not bound by its own precedent.

We knew the nominees lied. That's why the questions about Roe and respecting precedent were important. This is not the first time in history that SCOTUS has trashed its own precedent, and nobody should be surprised. The "moderate ally" republicans like Susan Collins only care about their political backsides, and are all too happy to accept those lies as cover. That means that we fight like hell to defeat them.

You aren't in the Twilight Zone. This is the very real consequence of Trump and republican power pre-trump when Obama was denied even a vote on a Justice. This was exactly the game plan. If it feels surreal, I'm afraid it's because you weren't paying close attention.

6. You're in the Scumpublican Zone.

Where States Rights are important when you're NOT in charge in D.C., and don't exist when you are.

Where precedent and established law are important, unless it's politically expedient that they're not.

7. They fight to win

They knew nothing would be done about lying to get on the court.

8. They all said the right things in their conformation hearings

did what was in their hearts....Kav, phoney Barett and Gorsuch are straight liars and they are all bought and paid for.
