#Precedent
Initially, they instill fear within the collective to identify those who will readily succumb to it. Subsequently, they select these compliant individuals as exemplars, shaping legal precedents based on their actions.
“…#Koch …has invested tremendous #capital to overturn longstanding #legal #precedent known as #Chevron deference, which would handcuff #regulators & serve the interests of #corporate fat cats. As more details are revealed of Justice Thomas’s #undisclosed involvement w/the Koch #political network, there are serious questions about his #impartiality in cases squarely confronting the Chevron doctrine. For these reasons, I’m calling on Justice #Thomas to #recuse himself from… #LoperBrightVRaimondo.”
In the 15yrs since, the #Koch network has left a deep imprint on #American #society. Its advocacy is credited w/helping stamp-out #Republican support for combating #ClimateChange, once an issue that drew #bipartisan concern.The “full weight of the network” was thrown behind passing the 2017 #Trump #TaxCut, securing a windfall for the Kochs & their #donors & the upcoming #SCOTUS term could bring the network a victory it has pursued for yrs: overturning a major #legal #precedent known as #Chevron.
After shepherding the case to the #court, #Koch network staff #attorneys are now asking the justices to overturn a decades-old #precedent. (#Thomas used to support the precedent but flipped his position in recent yrs. 🤔)
2 years ago, one of the network’s groups was the plaintiff in another #SCOTUS case, which was about #nonprofits’ ability to keep their #donors #secret. In that case, Thomas sided w/the 6-3 #conservative majority in the Koch group’s favor.
I just found this bit of history. Only 2 yrs earlier #SCOTUS overturned a precedent that #Alito liked (about non-unanimous jury verdicts). He dissented: "The doctrine of 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘴 [to follow precedent] gets rough treatment in today’s decision. Lowering the bar for overruling our precedents, [the] majority casts aside an important and long-established decision with little regard for the enormous reliance the decision has engendered."

In 2022 #Alito wrote the majority opinion in #Dobbs v. Jackson, overturning #Roe v. Wade, a precedent then 50 years old and repeatedly upheld (even if narrowed).

If #Meadows were to succeed in changing #venues, he would widen the pool of potential #jurors, who could come from more #conservative areas outside #Atlanta, & he would avoid having his trial #televised. He would also set a bad #precedent, encouraging future presidents & their aides to #interfere in the administration of local #elections, w/the expectation that they could later claim they were acting in their official capacities & secure more favorable circumstances at any #trial.

Without legal precedent, a prosecutor must define in indictments and though evidence why the defendant's actions rise to the criminal level.
As we've not had a criminal President in the #unitedstates since Nixon, please understand any delay in sorting this legal mess out. US Federal Law moves on greater timeframes than a human lifetime.

The far right turns to ‘legal vigilantism’
After the supreme court’s recent rulings against #affirmative #action and #anti-#discrimination #precedent, researchers who track the far-right movement are flagging a new model of #conservative #activism: #legal #vigilantism, an aggressive, lawsuit-threatening tactic used to intimidate universities and private institutions to comply with the new rulings.

“‘I wouldn’t want anybody to … make me a wedding website?’ he continued, sounding a bit puzzled but good-natured about the whole thing. ‘I’m married, I have a child—I’m not really sure where that came from? But somebody’s using false information in a Supreme Court filing document.’”

Bold-faced lies about legal #precedent and settled #law
under #minorityrule there's also no #consequence for lying to Congress!
I'm ready to nominate new crew members on a submersible visit to the Titanic
If it's not just, it shouldn't be #law; all #precedents be damned.
#Justice, not #precedent, must always be the only goal of our #legal system.
Sotomayor’s discussion of the majority’s disregard for #precedent is crucially important. She shows the lawlessness of the decision, the same lawlessness shown in cases like #Dobbs and #Bruen, other decisions where the current right-wing majority ignores settled case law and substitutes its own radical conclusions without any basis in law or fact. This is, as I’ve argued elsewhere, quintessentially tyrannical. 8/ #FAIRvHarvard #LawFedi
Putting #FAIRvHarvard in context(s), a thread. Text of all opinions available at https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf
Bottom line: The majority and dissent differ fundamentally about the meaning of the #14thAmendment; the meaning of #race in the U.S.; and the importance of #precedent in constitutional decisions from the #SupremeCourt. Plus, Justice #Sotomayor absolutely eviscerates #ClarenceThomas concurrence. 1/ #LawFedi

#BillC311 is an act to amend the criminal code and make physical or emotional harm to a pregnant person an aggravating factor in sentencing. This may seem like an act to protect people, but #AbortionRights groups & some Liberal and NDP MPs see it for what it is: a slippery slope to #criminalizing #abortion . It's a #dangerous #precedent to set.
