RE:”
Plyler v. Doe as a legal matter is certainly binding Supreme Court precedent,” Cruz said. “You can have a theoretical argument about the role of the Supreme Court. But I do think there is value in the principle of stare decisis, which is a Latin term for things which are decided. There is value in legal precedent.” This is contrary to those who claim that if we don't think somethings in the constitution, then we don't have to follow it as law.
