#SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas hinted nation’s highest court may b considring tearing up legl precedents..in effect for decades, & some nearly a century old
Speaking Thur @ the #CatholicUniversityColumbusSchool of #Law in DC, Thomas argued #SupremeCourt should rethink way law→interpretd as it relates 2 #StareDecisis, legal doctrine that suggests courts should follow legal precedent, or prior decisions – when making rulings on similar legal matters
In a rare public appearance, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas hinted that the nation’s highest court may very well be considering tearing up legal precedents that have been in effect for decades, and some nearly a century old.Speaking Thursday at the Catholic University Columbus Schoo...
The most eloquent section of the opinion was the discussion of #Roe & the principle of #StareDecisis — Latin for #judicial respect of existing #precedent — that had been crafted principally by #DavidSouter. Souter's words in Casey spoke not only for the Court, but also for the essence of America's judicial heritage & for the very core of Souter's own judicial background.
A quotation from Ambrose Bierce
PRECEDENT, n. In Law, a previous decision, rule or practice which, in the absence of a definite statute, has whatever force and authority a Judge may choose to give it, thereby greatly simplifying his task of doing as he pleases. As there are precedents for everything, he has only to ignore those that make against his interest and accentuate those in the line of his desire.Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Precedent,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.
