    That's not what he's saying. I hate the guy and I hope he suffers a serious injury involving a lawnmower, but he's arguing that Roe was an evil decision a la Plessy, and that this new one (ugh I really don't want to find out what it's called tbh, though I'm sure I'll have to) is the good one a la Brown.

      That's a not-unreasonable charitable interpretation of his tweet, though if that's what he meant, he could have said it a lot more clearly, even in 280 characters. But given that he didn't, and that he was specifically responding to the first Black president, it seems to me like that interpretation only provides plausible deniability, at most.

      Yeah this sadly. "It's settled law, it's precedent!!" frankly IS a shitty argument. But 1, we have arguments that Aren't Shitty, and 2, we're so fucking past arguing about it now so it doesn't matter either way.
