The reference to stare decisis was not originally intended to specificly be relevent concerning the overarching topic of the history of federal drug legislation except regarding to federal law in general (as it was specifically stated in the cited Wiki article).

So what was your point in including the separate article on stare decisis with the articles on federal drug regulation?

Do you think SCOTUS should adhere to stare decisis with regard to Roe v Wade?

They lost all the arguments many posts ago. They want all-powerful courts just like big-government Democrats because it conserves the status quo they like on this issue.

But their focus on getting universally the outcome they want on one issue has blinded them to general principles or their effect in other areas. So, like Democrats, they want to cast aside principles in pursuit of shortcut answers.
