Ro V Wade?
« on: November 06, 2002, 11:11:57 AM »
I was listening to KGO, this morning on the way to work and they where interviewing a woman from the NWACP (I think that was who she was from but I was trying to avoid hitting the jerk cutting me off.)

She was worried that in the next two years it was going to be overturned, she said the last time it came up it was a 4 to 5 vote.


Interesting.  What do you all think will happen?

Can that be done?  Has it ever been done?

Has one U.S. Supreme Court ever overturned a previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling?

Its "Roe" and the subject of abortion will probably come up again, and again be decided as Pro-Choice.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the answer is... yes, plenty.  I'd point to the "Switch in Time that Saved Nine" back in the mid-1930s as evidence of that.

Or Brown v. Board of Education overturning Plessy v. Ferguson.

No...

I was being srerious.

So... it wasn't a matter of overturning a previous decision.  It was a matter of making a different decision on a similar case.

They don't teach New Deal jurisprudence in public schools.

And the full cite is "Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas".  The decision was specifically targeted at public schools, but was interpreted as applying to other public facilities and institutions.  It overrode the previous court decision of "separate but equal" paraphrased from "Plessy vs Ferguson".  And it took 58 years to do it.

I know the full cite, but I was too lazy to type it all out.  :)  There were actually numerous Supreme Court decisions prior to and after Brown v. Board of Education that really took the teeth out of segregation.  I don't remember the citation, but there was a case several years before Brown that eliminated segregation in public higher education.

The New Deal cases are the most fun, though, because you can see the SAME Supreme Court overturn precedents it had upheld just one year earlier.

DejaVu:  You're right, it's not about overturning a specific case but rather reversing a legal precedent.  So the Court didn't have to rehear Plessy v. Ferguson (which was probably moot anyway since those involved were all dead) itself, but rather it chose to take cases that involved similar legal questions.  Plessy v. Ferguson dealt with the legality of separate but equal facilities as did Brown v. Board, though the facts and eras were different in both... as, obviously, were the decisions.

Once you are a supreme court judge you are in for as long as you want, that means they can do what they want without political repercussions. I think?

Either/or NOW.  Didn't know the NAACP was that involved in Roe vs. Wade.
