Chief Justice Roger B. Taney wrote the majority decision in the Dred Scott case, which the US Supreme Court handed down on this day in 1857, proving that #SCOTUS has the capacity to make horrendous mistakes & that #StareDecisis is a stupid & indefensible doctrine...

I don’t know why #SCOTUS even pretends to be impartial. They will rule for #felon47. Even though what they are about to f*ck the US more. But sure let’s give POTUS even MORE power. JFC

![Stare decisis is the legal principle that courts should follow precedent when making decisions, meaning previous rulings on similar cases should govern future ones to ensure legal consistency and stability. It operates both vertically (lower courts must follow higher courts) and horizontally (a court generally follows its own prior decisions). The purpose is to create predictable, fair, and uniform law, though courts can depart from precedent in certain circumstances for compelling reasons.
Core components
Stands for precedent: The term is Latin for "to stand by things decided".
Promotes consistency: It ensures that similar cases are treated similarly, promoting fairness and stability in the law.
Reduces litigation: By providing clear rules, it can lessen the need for courts to constantly re-evaluate the same legal questions.
How it works
Vertical stare decisis: Lower courts are bound to follow the decisions of higher courts in their jurisdiction. For example, a U.S. District Court must follow the precedent set by the Supreme Court.
Horizontal stare decisis: A court generally follows its own past decisions. For example, the Supreme Court typically adheres to its own previous rulings, though it may overrule them for compelling reasons.
Why it's followed
Predictability: It allows people to rely on existing law rather than expecting it to change erratically.
Fairness: It helps prevent arbitrary or biased decisions by requiring judges to follow established legal principles.
Judicial integrity: It fosters a sense of legitimacy in the legal system by showing that it is not based on individual judges' whims.

#StareDecisis. The legal principle of “Stare Decisis.”
“Core components
Stands for precedent: The term is Latin for "to stand by things decided".”
“Stare decisis is the legal principle that courts should follow precedent when making decisions.. vertically.. and horizontally”
OH!OH!OH! THE SUPREMES! #RoeVWade #VotingRightsAct #SettledLaw #StareDecisis
#SCOTUS has given temporary orders that allow #Trump to continue an illegal situation on the ground.
The risk is that it will make them permanent
It can uphold a prior decision or allow a presidential act to remain in force under the doctrine of #staredecisis.
www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...
The supreme court is abusing an emergency procedure to allow acts by #Trump that are clearly illegal. Trump thereby can create a temporary reality on the ground that #SCOTUS right wing majority then can make permanent abusing the #staredecisis doctrine.
A legal coup.

“instead of breathlessly reciting names of cases coming before the court in the upcoming term, we should perhaps just reference the bedrock precedents each one is poised to overturn…” #scotus #firstmondayinoctober #staredecisis
An exceptional emergency procedure becomes a semi-permanent workaround giving #Trump space to bypass the law and create a factual situation that #SCOTUS then can cement into a permanent one by invoking #staredecisis.

Speaking at Catholic Univ School of Law in DC #ClarenceThomas argued that #SupremeCourt should rethink way #law is interpreted as it relates to #staredecisis, the #legal doctrine that suggests #courts should follow #legal #precedent or prior decisions when making rulings on similar legal matters […]

would scotus dare Roe that decision too? or just say Kirk’s death has started a new sort of “emergency” so the law is somehow suspended?

Judge Myong Joun, respecting foundational principles of law and following precedent. Stare Decisis. Something the Supreme Court can't seem to do, issuing emergency rulings without a published "decision" is coming back to bite them.

#SCOTUS is actively subverting the #Constitution and the #SeparationOfPowers. It has abandoned #StareDecisis and the #RuleOfLaw. The conservative Justices are not even pretending anymore. Strap in. It's gonna get bumpy. #Resist www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/u...
dungeon in the basement of his Summer Home Leonard Leo bought for him. Every fakakta "opinion" that's come down the pike, save #Obergefell, that even regressive #Scalia couldn't get wrong, in the 1840's of Roberts' #Originalism, has been an abomination of the #Law, #StareDecisis, & just plain wrong.
Uncle Tom Thomas in the luxury RV one of his many #benefactors bought for him, on the down low, in the planter class Timothy #Mellon dark money repugnicunts 🌎 of everything has a price, especially the lawless lying lawyers & #StareDecisis.
Having all delivered by 🛵 triple wrapped in plastic 😑
It seems that even the more educated, brighter trump supporters are aware and don't seem to care. Their justification?Some whacko version of "ends justifies the means"
It's all about judicial precedent
#StareDecisis
#OnThisDay in 1896, the US #SupremeCourt upheld the principle of #SeparateButEqual in #PlessyVFerguson, only overturning it in 1954 in Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka; Plessy proves that #StareDecisis is a legal principle with no justification whatsoever...

er class Timothy Mellon dark 💰 repugnicunts, from Colludy Rudy to Rod "the ultimate swamp creature" Rosenstein, to Harry Potter Walrus, will say absolutely anything, & the myopic regressive bigot #SCOTUS John Roberts cares fuck all for #StareDecisis, so it's a win 🏆 win 🏆 for all the whites, yall!
Thing is: Total asinine cases appealed to #Scotus, as this #14thAmendment bullshit?
Pesidential Immunity???
NO.
Leave WELL-ESTABLISHED #StareDecisis be.
Do NOT take the case!
Unless, corrupt #Alito & corrupt #Thomas & drunk rapist-perjurer #Kavanaugh mean to fuck US.
And, validate Our fucking.
If there is no more #RuleOfLaw or #StareDecisis for #MAGA, there is no more rule of law for anyone else.
Time to look at #secession, #California. We will no longer be bound by #TexasvWhite.
