America’s reigning conservative Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, issued a blistering attack against “erroneous precedent” and the adherence to the legal principle of stare decisis in a decision on Monday as an obvious veiled attack against 1973’s Roe v. Wade, which enshrined abortion as a constitutional right.
Though the 7-2 concurring opinion on Monday had no relation to the issue of abortion (it focused on double-jeopardy), Clarence Thomas used the court’s deference for precedent in that case to attack “demonstrably erroneous decisions” the courts had made in the past. According to Fox News, experts have largely seen the justice’s blistering comments as laying the groundwork to overturn Roe v. Wade.
