...and the Supreme Court could rule however it likes. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, or what any law says, what any lawyer or other judge says.
They could be completely biased, could completely ignore everyone and everything else and rule however they want.
I'm almost surprised they still bother to write any kind of "legal reasoning" in their ruling and don't simply focus on what the ruling is rather than why they ruled that way. But I guess such "reasoning" still serves a propaganda purpose and still provides a fig leaf for those who still believe in the quaint absurdity that "we are a nation of laws, not men."
- londons_explore 3y agoSupreme court precedent seems to impact a lot of decisions... Plenty of companies who have legal teams will keep an eye on the legal landscape of court decisions, and use them to decide if our T&C's or contracts need rewriting, or if any precedent puts us at legal risk. Sure - the supreme court could overthrow its precedent anytime, but until it does, a lot of people will act as if what they say is the law.
