but they (especially Thomas) overturn every precedent they don't like and so jetisson hundreds of years of judicial wisdom.

Overturning precedent is not a bad thing, if the precedent is wrong. Then again, they can always bring back the Dred Scott decision, which was overturned years later...after all, we're talking about judicial wisdom of hundreds of years ago, right?

Dred Scott was overturned by the 13th and 14th amendment.
