Justice Clarence Thomas said overruling a 40-year precedent is justified because it wrongly interpreted the Constitution.

By Robert Barnes Robert Barnes Reporter covering the U.S. Supreme Court Email Bio Follow May 13 at 12:36 PM The Supreme Court’s conservative majority overturned a 41-year-old precedent Monday, prompting a pointed warning from liberal justices about “which cases the court will overrule next.”

Thomas acknowledged the departure from the legal doctrine of stare decisis, in which courts are to abide by settled law without a compelling reason to overrule the decision. Justice Stephen G. Breyer clearly had other issues — abortion rights, for instance, or affirmative action — in mind in his dissent.

Thomas sided with the view that “the states’ sovereign immunity is a historically rooted principle embedded in the text and structure of the Constitution.” “Stare decisis requires us to follow Hall, not overrule it,” Breyer wrote, mentioning one of the court’s decisions upholding abortion rights as an example. “What could the justification be in this case? The majority doesn’t find one.”

There are finer run high school newspapers than WaPo

The ones where the previous decision was not based on what is in the Constitution, but rather where the justices ruled on what they wished were in the Constitution.

Here's the reason why we are stuck with a crappy court...

Glad they overturned the precedent from the Dred Scott case... Sometimes the Supreme Court needs to do things like that.

openargs Warming us up to say goodbye to Roe V Wade

For years the liberals have been creating Faux Law through Supreme Court rulings! Those days are over.

Thomas's quote will come in handy for cases regarding congressional oversight of the executive branch. “there are many other constitutional doctrines that are not spelled out in the Constitution but are nevertheless implicit in its structure and supported by historical practice,”

separate but equal used to be ok

It's a restoration of state's rights.

The only silver lining here is that republicans and media who let this shit go on will suffer along with us for the bullshit they helped create.

About time

Liberalism is a mental malady. Yo!! Trump!! 2020!!!!

And now, even the Supreme Court gets its marching orders from trumpovitch and the GOP, and by extension, Russia. USSupremeCourt. Separation of Powers has become a fantasy as America moves toward a NAZI-modeled dictatorship.

Worse than msnbc

Why

No. Effing. Kidding. On the court, you've got at least 2 conservatives who are sexual predators. What makes you think they give a sh!t about anything other than their craven desires?

Pedofiele gebouw . afschuwelijk gebouw dit . heb nog nooit zo af grijselijk gebouw gezien. Echt een pedofiele gebouw .

Translation: Laws will now be judged against the actual Constitution and not legislated from the bench

Conan O'Brien settles joke-theft lawsuit weeks before trialO'Brien insisted in a column that no one stole any jokes, but he did not want a 'farcical' jury trial 'over five jokes that don't even make sense anymore.'
