    The fact is that the brainrot that has driven the republiQans over the edge has been growing in jusrisprudence as well. Courts regularly override their own precedents when it no longer serves their immediate political purpose. Which is really, really not how that’s supposed to work.

    Observe how Alito refers to some ancient religious writing as precedent to deny women the right to their own bodies. That shit ain’t canon.

      They nuked glorious American law. I don’t even practice but I appreciate what it once was, especially in its aftermath.
