Hello:
Stare decisis means “to stand by things decided” in Latin. It's the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions. However, THIS Supreme Court, reversed course for one reason and one reason only: because the composition of the court has changed.
It’s one thing to overturn a long-standing opinion that is antediluvian
and hugely unpopular with a large majority of the people. It’s quite
another to overturn a constitutional right conferred decades before that is only opposed by a fanatical minority. And, I think it'll cost 'em in the mid-terms.
I'm
just saying, that if Roe could be decided based on politics, gun ownership
could too.. I dunno WHY gun owners would take such a risk. I guess
they HATE abortion more than they LOVE their guns.
