“But I don’t think you are suggesting that judges should arbitrarily strike down precedent just because you and I don’t like the ‘currently on the books’ law?”
No, what I’m suggesting is is that the courts have arrogated to themselves the power to repeal laws on the basis of their constitutionality, and that they therefore do have the power to repeal laws.
IMO, it’s a huge mistake to grant the courts that power, especially since they’ve misused it so often, but they do have it.
