I agree. Mostly. Certainly decisions that were made an error

can and should be overturned.
But they must tread carefully here, in my opinion. Some deference is due to and deserved by previous courts.
A supreme court who ruled in one way 20 years ago should have gotten it right. If they didn’t, and only if the current court is very very very certain that they didn’t, should they consider taking up that issue again. I do not think that stare decisis is sacred, but it is worthy of respect and consideration.
