Liberals will defend stare decisis when it suits them but my problem is when conservatives do the same. Many conservatives take an "oh well it's law, if you want the precedent changed then propose a Constitutional Amendment" excuse.

Like I said before, many conservative folks fear Judges who overrule precedent based on bad law by "liberal activist" because they can't stand the idea of a "conservative activist".

It does not make sense, if the law is flawed on foundation we are not to review and overrule? Twisted if you ask me but then again I don't practice a twisted occupation.

We continue to agree. See my reply to DoraC on #29. Stare Decisis is a horrible concept when it comes to judicial judgement. It's the equivalent of saying "why, that's the way we always do it around here."
