    Dred Scott?

    Sometimes precedent is plain wrong.

    ETA: not in this instance though. This was a time they should have respected precedent.

      Yes, an incredibly racist ruling is a great comparison to dismantling the administrative state, removing personal healthcare choices, and regulatory authority.

        It’s actually not, which makes it a worse response. It wasn’t overturned by a court which is what state decisis applies to (Stare decisis is the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions.) Dred Scott was overturned by the 13th & 14th amendments.
