WI Robert Bork Confirmed To The Supreme Court

The fact that a case shouldn't have been taken by SCOTUS doesn't mean that the ruling with SCOTUS made in this case is invalid.
For Bowers vs. Hardwick (1986) about LGBTQ rights . . .

I agree the ruling’s as valid as any other. But the Court did go outside their norm in taking the case, because it wasn’t a live controversy. In fact, I think one critic at the time used the phrase “rush to overrule.”

The Supreme Court only accepts a fraction of cases which are appealed to it.

For example, in the 1989-'90 term,
out of 5,746 possible cases,
the Court accepted 146.

So, around 2 or 3% of cases.

This is a thread about a counterfactual scenario, not a thread about the specific workings of the Supreme Court. Don't derail threads with irrelevancies.
