Did Homer Plessy believe that separate equal was fair?
Homer Plessy did not believe that the doctrine of "separate but equal" was fair. He was a key figure in challenging racial segregation laws and intentionally violated Louisiana's segregation law to test its constitutionality. Plessy's actions aimed to highlight the inherent inequality of segregated facilities, ultimately leading to the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, which upheld segregation but also sparked ongoing civil rights debates. His case underscored the view that separate facilities were inherently unequal, contradicting the notion of fairness.
Does the term case law does not encompass a broad range of law than the term common law?
Yes, case law does encompass more than just "common law." Case law also includes decisions where courts have interpreted the US Constitution, its Amendments and statutes to have a particular meaning.For example, the Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Fergusonestablished that segregated public facilities were not prohibited under the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution provided the facilities were "separate but equal.". That was the case law governing such matters at the time.This case law was then overruled in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The ruling in that decision is that "separate but equal" is not truly equal and is prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment. This is now the case law on that aspect of the Equal Protection clause.For more information on both cases, including their official citations, see various questions answered by experts on matters involving the US Supreme Court in the "Supreme Court" category on WikiAnswers.

What is a bad law?
Bad law refers to case law that has been overturned by later statute or case law. For example, a number of courts denied challenges to segregation in public schools, and the law was "separate but equal." In Brown v. Board, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the prior decisions and found that school segregation was unconstitutional. If you were crafting a legal argument today that relied on one of the opinions that upheld separate but equal, you would be relying on bad law.
That Supreme Court case in 1986 that stated separate but equal?
The Supreme Court case you’re referring to is likely Bowers v. Hardwick (1986), which dealt with the constitutionality of a Georgia sodomy law, but it did not address the "separate but equal" doctrine directly. The term "separate but equal" originates from Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which upheld racial segregation under the premise that separate facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional as long as they were equal. This doctrine was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal and unconstitutional.

What can case law be revoked by?
Case law can be revoked or overruled by higher courts through judicial decisions, particularly when a court finds that a previous ruling was incorrectly decided or is no longer applicable due to changes in law or societal norms. Additionally, legislative bodies can effectively revoke case law by enacting statutes that alter or clarify the legal principles established in prior court decisions. Finally, constitutional amendments can also override case law if they change the legal landscape significantly.
