IamSheilaat91So this sets precedent for calling every Democrat's win in November a rigged and illegitimate election, followed by arresting each and every Democrat who was elected, along with the accompanying spouse. It's not just about the oil. #trump #Venezuela #precedents #riggedelection
beSpacific2/ #Clarence Thomas argued #SupremeCourt #precedents R not “the gospel” & should be critically reexamined, signaling openness to overturning major longstanding rulings including those on #presidentialpowers, #redistricting, even sex marriage rights while warning against blindly following past decisions w/out regard to legal tradition, sound reasoning.

“And that’s only the beginning.
“On top of #dangerous & #extreme decisions that overturn settled legal #precedents — including #RoeVWade — the court is mired in a crisis of #ethics.
Among the consequential decisions in #SCOTUS’ hands is a pair of cases involving fishermen. On the surface, the nearly identical cases are disputes about fishing #regulations. But they have potential to completely rejigger how #FederalAgencies mediate everything from #food & #agriculture to #taxes & #AirPollution—bc they question 1 of the #legal field’s most-cited #precedents… the “#ChevronDeference”

#ClarenceThomas’s concurring opinion begins on page 117. On page 119 Thomas specifically states “in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process #precedents, including #Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell.”

#Trump’s attempt to #claim that he can’t be #prosecuted collides with #Precedents
The former president claims he has “absolute #immunity.” But an array of #SupremeCourt #decisions tells a different story.
