Excerpted, partial list of reversals by the US Supreme Court:
Who died and made the Supreme Court God?

Consider what the courts, especially the Supreme Court, have ushered in during the last several decades by legislating (not adjudicating) from the bench:
Pornography on demand, Roth v. United States (1957) and Miller v. California (1973).
No school prayer allowed, Engel v. Vitale (1962) and Murray v. Curlette (1963).
No official Bible reading of a devotional nature in schools, Abbington v. Schempp (1963).
Abortion on demand, through Roe v. Wade (1973), which dissenting Justice Byron White called an act of "raw judicial power." Roe was based on a series of lies, and before she died, the "Roe" in this case, Jane McCorvey, became a pro-life activist who tried in vain to get the case overturned.
No Ten Commandments to be posted in the schools, Stone v. Graham (1980). They actually said in that decision: "If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments. However desirable this might be as a matter of private devotion, it is not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause."
No equal time for creation science in the classroom, Edwards v. Aguilard (1987).
States are not free (as in the case of Colorado) to prohibit the granting of special legal rights to homosexuals, Romer v. Evans (1996).
States are not free (as in the case of Texas) to outlaw sodomy, Lawrence v. Texas (2003). This decision was cited by the Massachusetts Supreme Court when it took the next logical step and granted the right to same-sex marriage.
Same-sex marriage is supposedly the law of the land, Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). In their hubris, the Supreme Court actually thought they could redefine what marriage is, thus overturning
millennia of marriage traditions all over the world in virtually every culture. Anthony Kennedy wrote that decision, as he did the Lawrence decision, which was a precursor to it.
Colleges (or law schools, as in this case) are free to oust a Christian group from campus if it will not allow for homosexuals to be among their leaders, Martinez v. Hastings (2010).

I believe the author says the Supreme Court has reversed itself over 200 times for those who talk about precedent.
