'All precedents of the Supreme Court have to be respected,' Jackson said in response to a question regarding fetal viability and other abortion laws.
Cornyn agreed with Jackson, stating,"It blows my mind when people talk about 'super precedence,' as if somehow one precedent was different in terms of its significance or priority under the Constitution than others."
Jackson responded that there are significant factors to be considered when deciding if the Supreme Court should overturn a precedent, one being if the court agrees the precedent is"egregiously wrong."
