Instead of showing how public accommodation is wrong, by citing con argument, you instead distract with "cons are weak azz bitches who accept precedent".for years I have noted that lots of "conservative" justices do what the FDR pet monkeys did not do
respect precedent. If you actually had a background in legal scholarship, you probably would be aware of what is commonly known as "the leftward ratchet of jurisprudence"
leftwing judges ratchet case law leftward. Subsequent 'conservative' judges respect that as precedent and cement it into the jurisdictional fabric. Then along come some more left-wingers and they crank things leftward
one of the reasons why Bork scared liberals was he noted that bad precedent should be stricken even if there was years of reliance upon it
sadly "faint hearted originalists" argue that unconstitutional stuff that has been around awhile has to remain because the upheaval caused by uprooting all the FDR nonsense would be too traumatic.
Too bad, so sad.
