beSpacificSpeaking @ Catholic Univ School of Law in DC #ClarenceThomas argued that #SupremeCourt should rethink the way #law is interpreted as it relates 2 #staredecisis, the #legal doctrine that suggests #courts should follow #legal #precedent or prior decisions when making rulings on similar legal matters. "At some point we need to think about what we're doing w stare decisis..And it's not some sort of talismanic deal where you can just say 'stare decisis' and not think, turn off the brain, right?" 1/
2/ #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. Stare decisis, doctrine of precedent, according to which rules formulated by judges in earlier decisions are 2b similarly applied in later cases
Havyhh2@bespacific ...when we finally rid our gov't of vile MAGA-fascists, first trials s/be of six radical MAGA SC jurists. Their crimes? Presidential immunity ruling, against every last fiber of our American being. Then explaining all the unexplained decisions against our Constitution and laws...say, removing multi-party independent agency directors w/out cause, and taking control of "the purse" away from Congress. Egregious wrongs that have plunged USA into a fascist crisis.
