So are we ok with anything that has been "ruled" already? Or only when the ruled thing goes in line with what we think? Because a lot of stuff has been ruled in the past 2 centuries that I'm sure you would scream bloody murder if someone from the other side defended it.

The parent used the word “cannot” instead of “should not”. This argument is about the law in practice, not ethics.

I would probably agree with you if we were tabula rasa writing a new legal framework, but we aren’t.
