"TodayÂ’s decision blatantly defies the CourtÂ’s recent decision in 2000 striking down a state partial-birth abortion law because of its failure to provide an exception for the health of the mother."
Excuse me, Senator, but it is the proper place of the Supreme Court to determine that a precedent is wrong, and to overrule it.
Unless, of course, you have a problem with the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education to “defy” the venerable precedent set in 1896 in Plessy v. Ferguson, which held that “separate but equal” segregation was not a violation the 14th Amendment.
So, Senator, do you believe that the Supreme Court has the right and obligation to overturn wrongly decided precedents – or do you believe that our public schools should still be segregated?
Or is it possible that your ignorance of the US Constituiton renders you unfit to be President -- or Senator, for that matter?
