Could the rogue Supreme Court overturn Brown v. Board of Education?

With honoring precedent one of the Supreme Court's core tenets, it's rare for justices to overturn cases. Experts say the principle of adhering to earlier decisions might not save Roe v. Wade. It happens rarely, but the Supreme Court has overturned major precedents in the past.

Why not? They have the votes.

It is eminently evident every time someone posts one of these hyperbolic threads that the poster is woefully clueless about how the Supreme Court works.

Plessy forever!!!!

Idiots.

Seriously though, if the whole undermining of Roe is because it's got a weak historical basis in legal precedent, then we might as well go back to being British subjects because to his whole democracy thing is only a couple hundred years old and the Brits do have us beat.

Divine Right of Kings!

Once Roe is down they'll come for gay marriage

Then Loving

Then Brown

And then we'll literally be back to 1954.

r3 Op is not the only one who is woefully clueless about how the Supreme Court works.

Yes, I'm sure Clarence Thomas has just been waiting for the chance to make his own marriage illegal all this time 🙄

Sorry, this was in reply to r6.

After his last on camera statement, I'm not so sure.

There's a possibility that the GOP will try to reverse Brown v Board. It would fit into their current "blacks are behind all crime and ruin schools and take all the welfare" talking points. They won't reverse Loving, there's no political motivation to do so.

Remember that the GOP wants a culture war and to stoke grievance politics. They also want to reverse things like Roe because they know there will be a battle to reinstate it in some way, meaning they can continue to use the abortion issue to get votes.

There is no right to education in the Constitution.

There is no right to marriage either.

And before they do overturn Brown vs. Board of Education, the GOP will dispatch Tucker Carlson and an army of paid trolls to explain how this isn't really racist.

Perfectly Putinesque.

Oh honey. You think Clarence Thomas really believes he's black?

They didn't integrate the schools where I lived until 1970.

I cannot imagine what this country would be like if this happened.

Don't blacks at elite liberal arts colleges and university demand their own living spaces, academic programs, deans, and rules?

Can't wait for public school districts to be allowed to ban practicing Christians.

All gun restrictions will be gone soon based on the SCOTUS calendar. NY will loose and guns will be everywhere. Then contraception and then marriage equality.

Most schools are already segregated especially in wealthy suburbs and cities

It has already started in Trump-Land

This would be a clever way for them to get the Brown decision reviewed. Have a white challenge his exclusion from that stuff on account of being white. They the court can uphold the exclusion and, in effect, reinstate Plessy v. Fergurson.

I always wondered what it would be like to live in the 1950s. Looks like I may get the chance in a few years.

What r22 said. Segregation doesn't have to come back; it never went away.

Well the democrats want to move to a race based system, which is segregation. That is what quotas are.

No basis to determine in 2022 that states can maintain "separate but equal" public facilities.

Bitch you aren't the red queen. You don't get to make up your own definitions.
