Do you know what the phrase ‘In obiter dictum’ means?

[buccaneer81]

Yes, I do. An observation, or a remark made in passing. That still doesn't diminish the intent of the ruling.

Sorry, that's not going to fly as a "Gotcha!"

[The Bronze Titan]

"Do you know what the phrase ‘In obiter dictum’ means?"

OBITER DICTUM:
Words of an opinion entirely unnecessary for the decision of the case. A remark made or opinion expressed by a judge in a decision upon a cause, "by the way", that is, incidentally or collaterally, and not directly upon the question before the court or upon a point not necessarily involved in the determination of the cause, or introduced by way of illustration, or analogy or argument. Such are not binding as precedent.
