Hearing lots of talk about Stare Decisis. That Roe v Wade was Stare Decisis and therefore untouchable. But it's not an absolute.
Many of the MOST important cases in our Supreme Court OVERTURNED prior Supreme Court decisions that people thought were ABSOLUTE under Stare Decisis.

Brown v Education which ENDED SEGREGATION was a case where it overturned Plessy v Ferguson a 1896 case. No ONE ON HERE believes the 1954 Supreme Court should have fallen on the Stare Decisis Sword and left Plessy as the Law of the Land.

And there are others....................all very, very important cases.

Let me summarize todays overturning this way;
All the court said today is that the court in 1973 DISRUPTED a POLITICAL process over abortion and should NOT HAVE.
It disrupted Congress and States from making LAWS to deal with a PRESSING matter of the citizens, a womans right to choose to keep her baby or abort it.

The Supreme Court in 1973 was 6 CONSERVATIVE APPOINTED Judges 4 of whom by Nixon.
This same court dealt with segregation issues as well.
But on abortion you could hardly call it a conservative move because times were different then.

Todays court has basically said ; If you want abortion and your voters want abortion, then pass laws in your state that allow for that.
Don't come and expect the court to do your job for you.

And States will.
And heads will roll.
And some people will get voted out.
And some in.
And that is Democracy.

This will be fanned and inflamed by the Democrat Party to try and steer away from Biden's historically low popularity. If they had ANY serious intent on LAW, Moral, or just plain Decency they would never inject false assumptions into it, much less say it on video, so it can be used to inflame. All Crisis is something to take advantage of. That's a DNC DNP Mantra. They are just practicing what they preach, so people can get distracted, and they remain in power. Democrats are inciting sedition, after they created a spectacle just to accuse someone of sedition. Ridiculous

They canceled their insurrection hearing for their insurrection against the judicial branch of government
