Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
doesn't even make sense for supreme court rulings to be overturned imo. the meaning of the law changed? because you just changed your mind?
thinking on a purely procedural basis within this system, a change in law should be required for something like this to be considered.
all laws are fake
Laws are threats of violence by the state: "Do this and we will lock you in a cage"
Look at when international law is applied or who gets human rights. The idea that laws are this magic scroll which somehow tie the hands of politicians and not instruments of class dictat needs to die.
Their argument will be -- and has been ever since the original ruling -- that the Majority Opinion misinterpreted the existing law, so it was never the meaning of the law, it just got treated that way by people abusing judicial power to accomplish their goals.
On a literal level, I think there's merit to the idea that the Constitution "as-intended" doesn't protect gay marriage, but that's just more evidence that the Constitution fucking sucks and should be thrown out, along with the Supreme Court that plays ping pong with human rights.

chemerinsky (radlib, but whatever) has a phenomenal book on how much of a joke and un-Democratical SCOTUS opinions regularly are: The Case Against the Supreme Court.
it's all political. you don't get to elect them. they will literally just make shit up to get the political opinion they want. legal basis, prior law, even facts of the case.
podcast 5-4 goes over every decision. you can just listen to 2-3 episodes to begin to understand how stupid it all is
It’s amazing the degree to which law has been sanctified as some mystical framework that exists outside of politics and exercises power against the state
RvW would still be illegal.
In the sense that they were making up so much law on the spot regarding trimesters to overturn state laws? I'm just curious what you mean here
