If Ginni & Clarence would face criminal judgment, would his SCotUS decisions be reviewed?

[UTUSN]

Yeah, far fetched I say, before my usual antagonists pounce on any perhaps off-hand/throwaway post as they do with scorn and animus, any nugget of potential pondering be damned.

*** But the reference is to when a dirty cop or detective is found to have been fixing some cases and their entire caseload from the past comes under review.

I can dream...

[FBaggins]

1. No

But it's a nice dream

[UTUSN]

5. Thanks for the pleasant tone. Will wait for the barrage of scorn to come from elsewhere.

They tag behind me everywhere.

15. No scorn; just a blunt statement of fact.

First, you haven't prove Justice Thomas is complicit in what Ginni did.

Second, unlike your example, none of the Court rulings have anything to do with the attempt to overturn the election. As an analogy, you don't throw out a criminal conviction because the police officer was later convicted of overtime fraud.

16. "If" and "would" posited a wildly hypothetical, metaphysical, even whimsical condition.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

2. No

What's done is done.

[2naSalit]

7. Not according to the current scotus...

Apparently settled precedent is something to be reversed with reckless abandon these days.

[UTUSN]

11. Excellent!

[SharonClark]

12. Reconsideration by a subsequent SC based on a new case

is not the same as "reviewing" past cases based on the unethical behavior of a SC justice.
So NO.

[PoliticAverse]

3. No. n/t

[Solomon]

4. Unfortunately no. Not quite the same thing.

Dirty cop cases are because they cheated on the "facts". Supreme Court opinions are just that - opinions.

[UTUSN]

8. Yeah and thanks for putting a point on the distinction of the dirty cops. But sigh that "opinions"

are taking the form of judicial dictatorship.

[2naSalit]

6. I hope they would...

It will be messy but should be done.

[SharonClark]

13. See post 9.

[unblock]

9. Any review would be by the Supreme Court itself

It would provide some lift to the idea of expanding the court to restore balance and undo sone of the crap that made it so extremely right-wing.

At which point a more reasonable court might reverse some recent decisions, though only as new cases on those topics came up.

[Bluethroughu]

10. Me too.

[fescuerescue]

14. Imagine if the current court re-decided all the cases since 1991

I don't think most of us would like that outcome.
