Please see stare decisis. Also please see Wikipedia:No original research. Wikipedia describes the world as it is (descriptive), not as we wish it to be (normative). See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. If you have a problem with stare decisis in general (which by definition allows judges to make law), find reliable sources articulating a critique of stare decisis and summarize them in that article. But U.S. law today is inherently interwoven with the rule of stare decisis and will not change from common law to civil law in the foreseeable future, regardless of what you think of it. --Coolcaesar (talk) 05:41, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- Stare decisis is a legal principle that applies to the people who adopt it. It is not the law. It cannot create law. It cannot enable others to create law. --Russell Savage (talk) 14:22, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
