No, it is not. If stare decisis is something conservatives hold on to, then the decisions of the Supreme Court cannot be overturned on whim. They must be overturned by the Court itself through cases and controversies; the Congress can pass new legislation that provides for changes in deportation procedures that will meet Constitutional objections; or the Constitution can be amended.

We are not our enemies. We do not change law on whim or for inconvenience. I pointed out an obstacle. It is up to the Courts to do something about it.

I don't hold onto stare decisis. The constition is a clearly worded document that anyone with an 8th grade education can read. If they made a bad decision that long ago then it should be over turned. However it probably wasn't a bad deceision. What would happen if someone made a mistake and just took you claimed your illegal and deported you without the chance to even prove your own innocence.

Make it illegal to hire them, don't give them welfare, and provide free buses to Mexico City and they will deport themselves.

The court changes its mind all the time.

All we need to do is challenge it.
