Okay, John Cornyn, I'll bite (since i saw his follow up tweet where he contextualized this). You are trying to make the point that sometimes overturning precedent is a good thing. But here's the difference: When Brown overturned Plessy, it expanded rights for citizens, where previously they had been denied. When Dobbs overturned Roe, it diminished fifty years of healthcare rights...

(not to mention the many other sectors it will affect like foster care, criminal justice, domestic and other violent crime statistics).
In general, we applaud busting precedent when it means giving disenfranchised people their rights. And if you are so obtuse to not know the difference between the two examples above, or more realistically, you just don't care, then you have no business being in the Senate.

@jurban but I agree with you
@jurban not that I want you to shut up but I know quite a few up here in Alaska who are anti-abortion and non-religious. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they are anti-abortion. I've had a few go arounds with them, couldn't sway, couldn't understand, no decent communication. Now that's highly anecdotal so it's definitely not a decent sample size.
