There’s also nothing in the ruling that binds the Supreme Court to uphold it when and if there’s another Democratic administration.
No, stare decisis is not binding. Nor does it still exist.
- timr 1y ago> No, stare decisis is not binding. Nor does it still exist. If it was not binding, did it ever exist? Anyway, there's nothing that binds any Supreme Court to do anything at all. This argument terminates in noise. It's just partisan fretting.
- TimorousBestie 1y ago> There's nothing that binds any Supreme Court to do anything at all. We agree. So your remark about “nothing in the ruling says. . .” was actually irrelevant to the broader point. From a lacuna in a decision we can conclude nothing.
