Dred Scott Decision Shows Fallability of SCOTUS' Reliance on Precedence


Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas showed some common sense in offering the opinion that the Court should overturn bad decisions and not just obey like Pavlov's dogs, precedence. As an African-American and jurist Clarence Thomas wouldn't have to think for a moment before being aware of how bad the Dred Scott and Plessy vs. Ferguson decisions were. The Court ignored those bad precedents and overturned them.

Some leftists in their hatred of all things conservative forget the past too conveniently for the value of attacking today.
