Federal Judges Warn Of The Dire Threat To Democracy

3. Really?

SCOTUS said that incarcerating Japanese after the start of WWII was Constitutional.

There's your precedent.

Loving overturned precedent. Brown overturned precedent. Obergefell overturned precedent. Effing Roe overturned precedent, as did Griswold.

All of those overturning, dissing stare decisis, shows a profound contempt for the Constitution? So it's okay to round up people based on ethnicity/nationality; okay to make interracial marriage illegal; okay to impose "separate but equal" in public schools; gay marriage can be outlawed?

Because heaven help us in failing to think that precedent isn't of the same status as the Constitution.

(Or we can think that justices make mistakes and those mistakes should be overturned. But hey, what do I know?)
