> If the precedent is allowed to be set, there’s a good chance the power will be used against your cause in the future. I've become deeply cynical about this argument. The Constitution is a weapon, used by the powerful against the powerless. I think it's pretty clear that in many cases the Supreme Court decides cases on purely ideological grounds, then goes back and creates post hoc justifications from precedent and the text. Public opinion is useless here - it doesn't matter whether people are "OK" with something. What will you do, elect a new Supreme Court?
