She is suppose to protect and defend our Constitution... nothing more and most certainly nothing less. Could anyone please point out where in the Constitution that makes ‘precedence’ the law of the land? Christ warned US about those that sit in the seat of Moses.
Lower courts are bound by the precedents of the courts above them. SCOTUS might use precedent to write and explain their opinion if they agree with said precedent. But they are most certainly not bound by it. The constitution is superior to ANY precedent. Dead SCOTUS Justices are not superior to the living. In fact, the opposite is true.
