Either overturning precedent is acceptable or it isn't. It can't be acceptable but only when I agree with it.

- cogman10 2y agoThat's binary thinking which I reject. Something isn't always good or always wrong. Overturning precedent may be the right thing to do, it isn't always right. This court's excessive overturning of precedent is Judicial activism that isn't going to be good and in particular is attacking individual liberties. One major issue with making everything a jump ball is lower courts can no longer rely on precedent to make rulings. It means all lower courts get to make decisions based on politics and, who knows, the supreme court might uphold their whims in the best case. It means that when you go to court or anyone else, you cannot have a reasonable guess at what outcome can be achieved which bloats the entire Judicial system for everyone. https://www.txst.edu/philosophy/resources/fallacy-definitions/false-dilemma.html https://www.txst.edu/philosophy/resources/fallacy-definition...
