The left has never respected precedent unless it could serve as a springboard for advancing their cause.
Exactly.
I don’t believe you should just overturn precedent to simply do it.. but when the precedent is clearly wrong and at odds with the constitution..
Such as the 60s rulings on Religion in the public square and the 70s abortion decision... They absolutely should be overturned.
Dred Scott should have been overturned, but it was not, as no case overturned it.. and wound up being voided by constitutional amendment.
