As legal scholars have noted, the courts do not have the medical expertise to make these types of scientific determinations. – Rachel King	Found on CNN 1 year ago
It’s the most closely available precedent for this situation, and that’s not a good track record for someone looking to bring a similar case. – Elon University	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Many American boys that fought in WWII had been sterilized under eugenic laws passed by the the United States Supreme Court under the 1927 case of Buck v. Bell.

Samaan	added by AlvaroSiman 1 year ago
The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning. – Cormac McCarthy	added by JokerGem 1 year ago
EPA’s veto sets a dangerous precedent. Alarmingly, it lays the foundation to stop any development project, mining or non-mining, in any area of Alaska with wetlands and fish-bearing streams. – Mike Dunleavy	Found on CNN 1 year ago
We’re not totally surprised that when the New York state legislature decided to abolish the statute of limitations, it was going to lead to a number of stale allegations that are being revived, our position is that the statute is unconstitutional, because it revives claims that have been barred by the statute of limitation for a long time, and that it sets a very dangerous precedent, legally speaking, and not just in the context of old assaults. – Jennifer Bonjean	Found on CNN 1 year ago

There's not any binding precedent that says you can't, right ? And so when the law doesn't say you can't do something and you're a prosecutor trying to get a conviction, trouble can ensue, given the gravity of the harm that can come from this and the important artistic rights and First Amendment rights at stake, this is an easy call. – Alex Spiro	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Violent-crime increase — call it Ferguson Effect 2.0 or the Minneapolis Effect — has come on with a speed and magnitude that make Ferguson 1.0 seem tranquil, george Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police in late May was justly condemned — but the event has now spurred an outpouring of contempt against the pillars of law and order that has no precedent in American history. – Mac Donald	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Supreme Court abandoned 50 years of precedent and took away the constitutional right to abortion, preventing women all over the country from being able to make critical decisions about our bodies, our health, and our futures. Justice Department is committed to protecting access to reproductive services. – Vanita Gupta	Found on CNN 1 year ago
We know our families are worried. Frankly, we are, too. The court's willingness to overturn almost 50 years of Supreme Court precedent is truly alarming -- and the decision contains language that signals looming threats to other freedoms, like marriage, that are fundamental not only to LGBTQ + people but to everyone. – Shelbi Day	Found on CNN 1 year ago
In his disturbing concurrence, Justice Clarence Thomas confirmed many of our deepest fears about where this decision may lead: taking aim at additional long-standing precedent and cherished privacy rights, from access to contraception and in-vitro fertilization to marriage equality, legislation is being introduced to further codify freedoms which Americans currently enjoy. – Nancy Pelosi	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
It is not as if it is just a run-of-the-mill case that was decided and never been reconsidered, but Casey specifically reconsidered it, applied the stare decisis factors and decided to reaffirm it, that makes Casey a precedent on precedent. – Brett Kavanaugh	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Opening boys’ and girls’ bathrooms to students of the opposite biological sex threatens the privacy and safety of all students, no law requires schools to go down that dangerous path.

There's a lot of specific criticism of the Roe precedent, the way Roe was originally decided, the quality of the court's reasoning, the quality of the court's original sort of historical analysis, but what you see, when you take an extra step back, is this is a pretty comprehensive originalist argument, in terms of beginning with the text. – Adam White	Found on CNN 1 year ago
