LEGAL PRECEDENT
If they win in court they can cite this legal precident against anyone else who tries to make the same argument

I despise precedent; it is nothing less than the judiciary playing the children's game of telephone with the citizen's legal rights.

Well, actually, that's not how it works.

Courts of original jurisdiction cannot set precedent. Even the old "law of the case rule" has mostly been abolished.

Only appellate courts can set precedent, and then only within their jurisdiction (e.g. the 5th circuit, or the state of Alabama). Only the Supreme Court can set precedent for the whole country.

But precedent is the bedrock of the entire legal system - going back to the days of the Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons. And if you despise legal precedent, what on earth are you going to set up in its place?

LEGAL PRECEDENT has turned Tennessee into a destination state for abortion (presently ranked #5 in the nation as a “go to” state for abortion) and blocked us from regulating abortion...but hopefully not for long as we are going to amend our state constitution to kill that particular legal precedent.

Please pray that we are successful.
