If stare decisis becomes a more fundamental doctrine than the Constitution itself, then we've lost it for good.

BOHICA. Even with Alito, conservatives wouldn't have that strong a majority. If Roe is to be undone, it will be piecemeal.

I submit to you Roe would be largely moot were it not for philosophical bent of SCOTUS for the last several decades.

Consider the ramifications to our society if over the span of the last fifty years "speech" was interpreted as "that which is spoken."

Can you imagine the influence of the modern liberal if they had to actually assemble their positions into cogent arguments? Or if the doctrine of "no such thing as a false idea" were not operative? Wouldn't you like to be able to bring class action suites against news organizations with a demonstrable intention of manipulating public opinion?
