The Democrat/liberal view is :

1. Settled law must be respected, and not subjected to any changes, if the settled law is in favor of some liberal cause. Abortion and homosexual marriage are two great examples. Those court cases can never be reviewed or overturned, per liberal theology, because they were decided the liberal way.

2. Settled law is not to be respected if it is in conflict with the liberal view of the issue at hand. A good example is the Citizens United case. The liberals consistently want that case overturned, and call for legislation or another court case to overturn this. In this case, liberals are NOT respectful of stare decisis because they didn’t get the outcome they hoped for.

Good points. I asked a leftist troll on another site if Citizens United, Heller and Hobby Lobby were settled law, the "law of the land" since the USSC ruled on them.

She said, verbatim, "for now." What kind of answer is that?
