You're right, precedent like Plessy V. Ferguson and the Dredd Scott case should really have been respected. In addition to that obviously facetious remark I would point out that overruling past precedent is hardly new, unique, or all that rare. The court has overturned precedent numerous times, according to this source 232 times since 1810.

Don't let emotion rule you, try logic and reason in its stead.
