I’m sorry that you do not understand that “settled” law and “case” law are (in most cases, and certainly within the grasp of your feeble mind in this case) synonymous. It simply points to your ignorance of the law in general.
I’m sorry that you don’t understand that toad was attempting to make it appear as though judges have no ability to make laws....they do, via case law.
There is NO OTHER definition for laws made via the bench. They are called CASE LAW.
Now you are quibbling yet again from the entire point that yorkie made: judges are issuing rulings that are being followed in this country....and those rulings are ignoring/overturning/changing laws made by the legislators.
