A point of stare decesis the courts will NEVER overturn

For all of us illiterate Rubes out here in "Flyover Country"

"Stare Decesis - the legal principle of determining points in litigation according to precedent."

"... the Latin maxim Stare decisis et non quieta movere: "to stand by decisions and not disturb the undisturbed."
