Yes, you're right...SCOTUS overturned itself in Brown. :)

Ted is a loon. He thinks he's going to trap Roberts, but he'll fail. :)

I liked it when the Swimmer asked Roberts, "You know "Brown" was a unanimous decision, right?" What an idiotic question...LOL...PRE-LAW students know that fact....LOL.

No it didn't. Plessy said "separate but equal" is okay. Brown did not overturn that. Instead, Brown said that in the case of education, separate had proven to be unequal, so you could no longer have separate schools. In essence, they created an exception for Plessy rather than overturning it.

That's an important distinction, because if they'd just overturned Plessy, much of the civil rights struggle would have been rendered unnecessary.
