24. Time to deny them stare decisis.

All the precedent of the court, including any ruling where Thomas was in the majority, should not be respected by future courts.

This should be the mantra in law schools, in legal circles, and it should be shouted from the rooftops for the next 20 years until it becomes so.

There's lots of stuff we can't do. Impeach and remove, expand the court, pass amendments.

There are things we can do, like laying the groundwork for a generation of jurists who will take the Roberts court rulings as bought and paid for.
