Today the Supreme Court ended Set Precedent, which makes the court a worthless institution.

This decision is even worse than I original thought and I original thought is was really bad. It's worse than that. They decided any Supreme Court decision can be changed. No Supreme Court decision can be trusted.

They have destroyed the reputation of the court and I don't know if it can ever be recovered.

I am all in on the idea to expand the court.

We should always be highlighting how politicized/overtly partisan and thereby illegitimate it is.

10. The decision is terrible and wrong. But there has never been a rule against overruling a prior court

decision.

They shouldn't have overruled Roe and Casey, but not merely because those cases are settled precedent, but because those cases were correctly decided.

Many cases, some decades old, have been overruled. For example, Obergefell overruled Baker v Nelson, a 1972 case. It would have been outrageous if the Court has refused to overrule that case simply because it was a forty-plus year old precedent.

Superpowers in decline aren’t the most stable politically.
