Along with stare decisis and juris dictum, practices that badly need to go away as they are destructive to our Republic.

I have no idea what you mean by "Juris dictum." Are you referring to "jurisdiction"? If so, how is jurisdiction destructive to our Republic?

As for stare decisis, it gives a great deal of predictability to the legal landscape, which facilitates investment. No one would risk any money in any business enterprise if all the legal rules could change overnight.
