Judges are beholden to the Constitution, not precedent. 
Are you really arguing the Constitution isn't interpreted through the lens of precedent?

I can find a ton of people in your social circles that disagree; especially in regards to losing Roe v Wade as an established precedent.

Precedent is  a very important factor in interpreting the constitution. What I said is that judges are beholden to the constitution over precedent  per the Supremacy Clause. Without this principle they would have not been able to overturn Plessy v Ferguson or any other case. It's happened hundreds of times.

Just because those people want to preserve the constitutional right to an abortion doesn't mean they think precedent should be ironclad. There are a lot of cases they want to see overturned, like pretty much all of the recent high profile ones for example.

The J6 hearings are a political show. Anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty can easily see that the absence of cross examination of any witnesses or the denial of any witnesses to submit any evidence that would not support the political narrative being put forth proves that it is a partisan political show. The entire committee is a joke on every level of any kind of legal standing. 

"This is a kangaroo court; this is a fixed jury," liberal Democrat and Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Thursday, commenting on Democrats’ nationally-televised Jan. 6 Select Committee hearing."

Again, anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty can see it for what it is. There is nothing "fake" about what the J6 hearings are. They are exactly what they are, a  televised political show designed to misinform and sway public opinion.

So you are pro Hang Mike Pence? When rioters chanted 'hang Mike Pence' Trump said 'he deserves it'.

I am not pro anything, I think critically. There is nothing govt would ever do that would improve my quality of life other than to undo what it has done. I guess you could say I am pro less govt. The political parties,  they can shove their ideas of trying to help me strait up their asses. I am simply looking at what is being shown to me and applying logic and critical thinking and the conclusion is as obvious as the nose on your face.
