41. So, you think a "different mix of judges" will overturn Roe v. Wade too?

If the only issue is who the judges are, then I guess anything is up for reversal based on a previous dissent, right?

How about going back to "separate but equal" schools too? With 5 "conservative justices" on the court now, why haven't we just gone back to that?

Or do you think that eventually there will always be a majority of liberal justices on the bench forever and ever?

SCOTUS, no matter what the ideological mix on the court, is loathe to reverse previous decisions. Once you get past Dredd Scott the number of actual reversals drops precipitously. Hell, they won't even take a case to reverse Kelo and everybody, progressive and conservative, hated that decision.

Sorry, you live in an ideological fantasy land. Neither your children nor your great grandchildren will see a reversal of Heller or McDonald.
