So you believe the Supreme Court should not have ruled anti-racemixing laws unconstitutional, because they had been considered valid for 99 years since the passing of the 14th Amendment (which the Court used to justify its decision), whose authors were alive during much of that time, and hadn't mentioned that they've been made unconstitutional by its passing?
Or is it that if the court moves in one direction, that's okay and progress and living constitution. But if it moves back, that's hyper-reactionary and they should just maintain the status quo? In other words, you want a ratchet that only moves in the direction you like, even if it means ignoring the law in favor of the status quo (but only in cases where you like the status quo)?
