[Still Thinking]

Has SS and Medicare been deemed Constitutional on challenge?

Not sure about SS specifically, but when several consecutive decisions seemed to indicate that several justices could at least spell "Constitution", FDR, being the Democrat, communist spawn of Satan who would likely have molested little boys if he hadn't had polio, became alarmed. He then started making noises about expanding SCOTUS to 12 justices ("packing"), and the nine suddenly discovered the constitutionality of the New Deal (spit).

Now, believing in stare decisis every bit as much as your typical liberal, I'm all in favor of fixing those decisions at the earliest opportunity.

That's hilarious. Re: stare decisis, considering Scalia wrote a majority opinion not so long ago affirming Wickard v Fillburn (new deal era commerce clause), I seriously doubt we will see the new deal overturned.

You kind of threw me with your last sentence there.

I do think there’s a lot to fix, but I’m not sure where liberal mindset agrees with that.
