JUDICIARY: The Federal Judiciary in the 21st Century - Why SCOTUS Has No Code Of Conduct - Revisiting The Doctrines Of Stare Decisis & Partus Sequitur Ventrum - Happy Residuals Of The Peculiar Institution Month!

There has always been cyberchatter which questions Clarence Thomas' legal acumen, which is why I believe he is popping up to lead the charge of challenging the doctrine of Stare Decisis.

Perhaps, that is why he was never very vocal in oral arguments.

But, hey, what do I know?

I know there is a very long history on very questionable rulings when it comes to foreign influence in elections and trafficking tiny humans, like the doctrine of Partus Sequitur Ventrem.

I also know he is open to revisit stare decisis which is a good thing, considering lots of those precedent decisions were made during the "Pre-Emancipation Proclamation Era".


Notice how this video intentionally fails to address the Partus Doctrine.

Heck, there is court precedence going back to Three-Fifths Clause Days, right back to that Partus Doctrine that no one seems to want to talk about.

DeShaney v. Winnebago made it perfectly clear that children have absolutely no civil rights, where this doctrine is even more solidified if that child hails from the population of "The Poors", the socioeconomic status of the mother.

Brown, Henry Billings
Homer Plessey
 Partus Doctrine ruled he had
no right of association under the
First Amendment because of the
"One-drop rule".
Plessey v. Ferguson is not even recognized as a First Amendment argument of right of association, which means the entire Brown v. Board of Education needs to be revisited, in full, to correct the basis of the decision, because it never addresses the residuals of the peculiar institution of chattel law, like the Partus Doctine.

How can SCOTUS make rulings on race when it is using the "One Drop Rule" of the Partus Doctrine, which was made before CRISPR?

See, how can the supreme court of the land, and not the sea, because that would be maritime, private law, sit up there, in the heavens, pushing their compromised rulings, without even mentioning the the Partus Doctrine?

I am not alleging any of SCOTUS rulings were compromised for the simple fact that there is no grievance procedure, or rather due process of the petitioners, as that part of U.S. history was intentionally omitted when there exists no federal grievance procedure.

How can SCOTUS continue to promulgate the Stare Decisis Doctrine made under the Partus Doctrine?

Because the SCOTUS and federal justices can do what they want, when they want, including the perpetuating the residuals of the peculiar institution.

Just ask John Roberts.

I wonder what his role shall be as we proceed to our Constitutional Crisis?

As you watch, or may not watch, this hearing, the discussions, using their hand picked American University groomed spokestokens, focus on how they are going to hole the Justices accountable.

I say have a public forum, like they used to do, where the public can put out their dirt.

Many of the witnesses were against the personal lives of the Justices made public and had no clue of how to told them accountable.

I say we just use that Justinian Code, the internet, and proceed with the reconstruction of justice in blockchain technologies, to preserve the annals of history, no matter what is uncloaked in the trafficking of tiny humans.

Justice Thomas urges U.S. Supreme Court to feel free to reverse precedents

(Reuters) - Justice Clarence Thomas on Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to feel less bound to upholding precedent, advancing a view that if adopted by enough of his fellow justices could result in more past decisions being overruled, perhaps including the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.

Writing in a gun possession case over whether the federal government and states can prosecute someone separately for the same crime, Thomas said the court should reconsider its standard for reviewing precedents.

Thomas said the nine justices should not uphold precedents that are “demonstrably erroneous,” regardless of whether other factors supported letting them stand.

“When faced with a demonstrably erroneous precedent, my rule is simple: We should not follow it,” wrote Thomas, who has long expressed a greater willingness than his colleagues to overrule precedents.

In a concurring opinion, which no other justice joined, Thomas referred to the court’s 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which reaffirmed Roe and said states cannot place an undue burden on the constitutional right to an abortion recognized in the Roe decision. Thomas, a member of the court at the time, dissented from the Casey ruling.

Thomas, 70, joined the court in 1991 as an appointee of Republican President George H.W. Bush. Thomas is its longest-serving current justice.

The court now has a 5-4 conservative majority, and Thomas is among its most conservative justices.

He demonstrated his willingness to abandon precedent in February when he wrote that the court should reconsider its landmark 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan ruling that made it harder for public officials to win libel lawsuits.

“Thomas says legal questions have objectively correct answers, and judges should find them regardless of whether their colleagues or predecessors found different answers,” said Jonathan Entin, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “Everyone is concerned about this because they’re thinking about Roe v. Wade.”

COURT DIVISIONS
The Thomas opinion focused on “stare decisis,” a Latin term referring to the legal principle that U.S. courts should not overturn precedents without a special reason.

While stare decisis (pronounced STAR-ay deh-SY-sis) has no formal parameters, justices deciding whether to uphold precedents often look at such factors as whether they work, enhance stability in the law, are part of the national fabric or promote reliance interests, such as in contract cases.

In 2000, conservative then-Chief Justice William Rehnquist left intact the landmark 1966 Miranda v. Arizona ruling, which required police to advise people in custody of their rights, including the rights to remain silent and have a lawyer.

Writing for a 7-2 majority, Rehnquist wrote that regardless of concerns about Miranda’s reasoning, “the principles of stare decisis weigh heavily against overruling it now.” Thomas joined Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent from that decision. But even Scalia, a conservative who died in 2016, had a different view of stare decisis.

In a widely quoted comment, Scalia once told a Thomas biographer, Ken Foskett, that Thomas “doesn’t believe in stare decisis, period,” and that “if a constitutional line of authority is wrong, he would say let’s get it right. I wouldn’t do that.”

Stare decisis has also split the current court, including last month when in a 5-4 decision written by Thomas the justices overruled a 1979 precedent that had allowed states to be sued by private parties in courts of other states.

Justice Stephen Breyer, a member of the court’s liberal wing, dissented, faulting the majority for overruling “a well-reasoned decision that has caused no serious practical problems.” Citing the 1992 Casey ruling, Breyer said the May decision “can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next.”

Thomas said the court should “restore” its jurisprudence relating to precedents to ensure it exercises “mere judgment” and focuses on the “correct, original meaning” of laws it interprets.

“In our constitutional structure, our rule of upholding the law’s original meaning is reason enough to correct course,” Thomas wrote.

Thomas also said demonstrably erroneous decisions should not be “elevated” over federal statutes, as well as the Constitution, merely because they are precedents.

“That’s very different from what the Court does today,” said John McGinnis, a law professor at Northwestern University in Chicago.

McGinnis said the thrust of Thomas’s opinion “makes clear that in a narrow area he will give some weight to precedent. But at the same time, he thinks cases have one right answer, and might find more cases ‘demonstrably erroneous.’”
