They can appeal it, and they’re going to lose. The SCOTUS doesn’t turn back on stare decisis.It all depends on whether they hold that other precedent to be relevant. A lot of this is rhetorical gymnastics to fit a ruling into preconceived ideological stances. I understand there's a view that judges are gods on earth whose every ruling is inerrant and springs purely from the circumstances at hand. Back here on earth, it's pretty clear that every judge comes to a case with his particular ideological axe to grind.

They can appeal it, and they’re going to lose. The SCOTUS doesn’t turn back on stare decisis. What about Terry v. Ohio?
