In a rare public appearance, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas hinted that the nations highest court may very well be considering tearing up legal precedents that have been in effect for decades, and some nearly a century old.
Speaking Thursday at the Catholic University Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., Thomas argued that the Supreme Court should rethink the way law is interpreted as it relates to stare decisis, the legal doctrine that suggests courts should follow legal precedent, or prior decisions when making rulings on similar legal matters.
"At some point we need to think about what we're doing with stare decisis," Thomas said, according to a Saturday report from ABC News. "And it's not some sort of talismanic deal where you can just say 'stare decisis' and not think, turn off the brain, right?"
