Its called precedent. Without it you are creating new law.

It's called legislating from the bench, a means of creating new law without benefit of the legislature. Without it, you have Constitutional law, not case law.

You are mistaken. Our legal system is based on precedents. Precedents is the anti-thesis of legislating from the bench.
