View Full Version : The Supreme Court of Denial

In America, we are governed by a notorious group of people. We have presidents, VPs, senators, representatives, but that is not the point. The point is that we, for the judicial branch, have federal and district courts of law, municipal courts at the city level, but at the federal level we have that group of nine old men and women who think they know what's best for the other 299,999,991 of us. But do they really? Are they really qualified to make or pass judgment on behalf of hundreds of millions of others? To answer this we must look at some basic facts.
In 1973, in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court legalized abortion. Now who is to say that this decision could not be overturned? Is the Supreme Court really on the moral high ground here? Or have they taken the path of least resistance? It would seem to me that the Supreme Court has lost all credibility, is held accountable to no one, and thus make decisions that could cause strenuous relations and uproar within a community (or a nation), and never have to answer a question. At the rising tide of public opinion they can simply reject past notions or rulings and totally disregard stare decisis and any respect of past rulings.
So now what do I have to support this argument?
in 1857 there was a little case called Dred Scott v. Sanford. Now to go through the case would obviously be a waste of my time as most of you already know more than I do about it anyway, as it is one of the most well known Supreme Court cases ever. But in effect, it ruled that slaves were chattel and had no right to challenge their owners in a court of law as they were not citizens. And now I quote from Wikipedia.
Dred Scott was indirectly overruled in the Slaughter-house cases, which noted that Dred Scott's holding was superseded by the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865, which abolished slavery, and the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, which guaranteed full rights and citizenship regardless of race.
Oh so it was overruled, you say? So they have lost all credibility.
Next we have an equally well known case from 1896 called Plessy v. Ferguson. This established the doctrine of separate but equal, but there is really no point in going into specifics. Many of you are already familiar with this case. But once again I quote from Wiki.
"Separate but equal" remained standard doctrine in U.S. law until its final repudiation in the later Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
Oh so this was overturned too? Apparently so by the 1954 case Brown v Board…
So what is my point? The point is that the Supreme Court has no credibility anymore. Their racism is startlingly clear and cannot be denied. They did not change their minds, but rather under pressure by the government, that is, we the people, they had to overrule past decisions. It is not to say that they are any less racist, just simply that a majority of Americans had woken up to the truth of multiculturalist society and had become more tolerant, accepting, and open minded, and had pressured the judicial to wake up, too.
So what do I propose? I propose a compromise.
Let us put away our notion of justice in a so-called "free" society and rather consider the other side.
Do you follow the Supreme Court of 1857, which is just as legitimate as the one we have today, or do you support the revised Court of today, the Court of Denial?
Remember that before blacks were recognized as citizens and human beings in society they were labeled chattel whose human natural rights were subject to the every whim of their master, kind of like fetuses (hmpf human beings hmpf) are today. So to think that abortion and racist administration do not go hand in hand is an error in judgment.
The way I see it we have two options. And I will have a poll to see what you all think.
Should we follow the rule set down by earlier courts and say that the Supreme Court can be influenced by the government and then follow through with it and criminalize abortion? Or however, should we reveal the later courts as frauds and announce once again that blacks are property and nothing more?
You be the judge.

brown v board was not the court reacting to social pressure there was no pressure for desegregration in 1954 it wasnt until the early 60s that they started forcibly desegregating schools at gunpoint
also the whole argument is ridiculous because all of the circumstances in two decisions 60 years apart are different including all the people on the court
and you undermine your own argument when you call the court unaccountable and then in the next paragraph point out that they were held to account by the 13th and 14th amendments

It is a legitimate response; your entire theory is whacked-out.
You seem to be under the impression that the Supreme Court makes rulings based on what its members happen to be feeling at the time, when the reality is far more complex. The SC judges are motivated by personal convictions, but their rulings need to be justified within the context of the constitution, which provides some leeway- but not a lot- in how they can interpret the legality of legislation.
And you somehow arrive at the conclusion that the current Supreme Court is racist based on a decision made by a bunch of 19th century judges. Which is probably the most ridiculous argument you could put forward at this moment.

Well do you prefer stare decisis and support the slavery of the minority population or do you support overturning such decisions and criminalizing abortion? You can't have it both ways, otherwise you're a flipflopper, like most liberals are.

People who stick to one point absolutely are worse than flip floppers. Inflexibility is inefficient and wasteful.
If someone believes that the constitution is infallible, they believe black people are only 2/3 of a person. If someone believes the constitution is garbage, they refute the values of freedom of religion, speech, and so forth.
As in most cases, the most reasonable stance is to be moderate, or, as ts terms it, a flip-flopper.

Stare decisis mean to stand by things decided, the rulings of earlier courts were certainly examples of racists legislating from the bench; therefore, the current Justices are bound, perhaps not legally, but ethically to respect the earlier rulings of the Court, thereby aligning with racist decisions and becoming racists themselves (maybe not in theory but in practice)

So you believe in overturning decisions but allowing others to stand based on what you feel, rather than according to the law? You would make a horrible judge. We must recognize that if we are to stand by earlier rulings we must therefore acknowledge blacks are chattel, but if we are to recognize that an overturned decision (anti-stare decisis) is a natural progression that inevitably leads to a more sophisticated, tolerant, accepting (what have you) nation then we must give the humans-yet-born the benefit of the doubt like we did the blacks and in the spirit of liberalism we must abolish abortion. That is not to say that blacks are human beings, but rather to say that we ought to give humans-yet-born the benefit of the doubt.

This isn't a hugely advanced concept; I don't understand why you find it so hard to grasp. Court decisions have to stand up to logical scrutiny: if they don't, they're repealed; if they do, they're upheld. Legal precedents are constantly being challenged and re-evaluated.

You must recognize that you can either overturn precedent, or accept precedent. So in one case you say blacks are chattel and babies should be killed, the other case blacks are human beings and babies should have their right to life.
See I have attached the two together because they both involve human life and they are a question of dignity and humanity. In essence what I am saying is it is illogical to have your cake and eat it too (eg you can't have it both ways, either the rights of both parties are respected and granted, or they are both neglected and rejected).

We must recognize that one ruling revokes the human right to life and that in effect gives those against it the right to exterminate life whereas the other allows life but makes severe restrictions and sanctions on natural rights and freedom.
I would rather see the blacks back in slavery than see millions of children (black or white) exterminated on a yearly basis. At least slavery allows them to live and abortion doesn't even do that much.

The overall theme is, "What value is found in life?" Is it something we can so casually do away with (abortion) at the drop of a hat, or is it something that ought to be allowed but only on the basis that it provides some direct benefit to White America.
Or we can propose a new system altogether. We could allow children to be born but then we can put them into slavery after they become adults.

I know you are trying to be sarcastic or humorous but your wise guy attitude won't cut it with me. Precedent is the initial decision. It does not stand to reason that there could be a precedent on negating precedent. The precedent is absolute and is not reflexive based on the decision. The decision to negate precedent may be a precedent in and of itself but the precedent is the initial ruling. The precedent can never change to the future ruling which negates the earlier one. It literally "precedes" and the thought is that one case precedes another where the preceding case is overturned by the following case.

the media gives racism a bad connotation. same as sexism. acknowledging that there are difference between the sexes is not a bad thing is it
Well I think blacks are better at football so I guess that makes me a supremacist then.

racism is actually the belief your race is superior to others, sexism is the belief your gender is superior to the opposite. acknowledging a difference is neither racist nor sexist.
they are better at football simple statistics. White people are better at eating cheese. again, just because we acknowledge a difference between races, doesnt mean that its bad. and it also doesnt mean that stereotypes are right. it just means that EVERYONE is different.

What the hell are you on?

meh, i think thats more of a media/popular definition for the term. i'd call that [insert race here] supremecy, or male/female supremecy.
people yell racism to get money from a statment that is not inflamitory all the time. that doesnt make the speaker of that statment believe that he or she is better then the other.
i think that this a racist statment:
Black people are more likely to end up in jail then asians.
I also think this is a racist statement:
Black people are more likely to lead happy lives then asians.
im niether black or asian.

behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex

That having been said, im gonna go get drunk :wave:

Look would you rather have the blacks enslaved so you can have your precious little abortion? This poll is not optional. You must give me a reasoned response for your answer.
Um I don't support abortion.
You need to use logic in your arguments now.

No it's true. I would say what I think here but I would probably get banned if I said what I really think.

The Supreme Court isn't bound by stare decisis. Precedent only binds lower courts. It only persuades the court who made it. Any court can reverse a decision made at its own level.
