Another Dimension To The Messiah's Week Of Misery

Yesterday I wrote about the Supreme Court decision that struck down in part the 2002 campaign finance "reform" laws.  In addition to ACORN and mainstream media no longer having a monopoly on political conversation, there's yet another reason why culture-of-death devotees are having snit-fits.  Lifesite News published this analysis.  I urge you to read it, but I'll point out a key point here.

Stare decisis is a principle that American jurisprudence had, up until now, religiously followed.  It holds that judges should follow precedent established by prior decisions.  Therefore, in the minds of many, the two twin decisions of January 22, 1973, namely Roe v Wade and  Doe v Balton were held to be law written in stone.  However, this week, Chief Justice Roberts wrote that stare decisis is "not in exorable command." 

"When considering whether to re-examine a prior erroneous holding, we must balance the importance of having constitutional questions decided against the importance of having them decided right," he continued, adding that “stare decisis is not an end in itself."

Pro-aborts see where this could head.  The Center for Reproductive Rights called this "terrifying."  Let that "terror" begin!
