That’s the point. Left-wingers rewrite the law with court decisions, then conservatives can’t undo that due to respect for stare decisis.

Once it gets to go both ways, we can undo the trainwreck of law foisted on us by lefties and blackmailed justices.

The switch to reliance upon case law that occurred long ago has never made sense to me. Taking the current system of legal precedent and then adding stare decisis on top seems to have created a one-way ratchet that serves to compound and lock in judicial error. It’s crazy to place so much reliance upon the original case, to the point that a wrongly decided case can become unchallengeable and therefore cast that error in stone. Then, that erroneous decision becomes the foundation for arguing future cases and further propagating the original error. That’s just nuts.

And then leftists overturn those and it’s back and forth until it’s messed up so much there is no law.
