Some on this forum (Not me) disagree. Stare decisis is considered sacred to those who fear "conservative activist" on the courts.

No biggie. Stare Decisis is simply a way for Liberals to get into the Constitution those things they can't get through the electoral process. After all, they only invoke it whenever the possible outcome of a case would reverse the Liberal agenda.

For example, if somehow, in 2001, 3 of the 7-2 majority in Bush v Gore had incredibly decided they were wrong and it should be overturned, we would have heard not one Liberal defending the principle of Stare Decisis.

But as soon as there is a majority to overturn Roe v Wade, we better get ready for the howling and gnashing of teeth from the Liberals, screaming how Stare Decisis is being violated.
