Re: Inconsistent decision is concerning

Bad precedents should be overturned. But this is rare, and should be rare.

Something goes to court and an expensive process takes place in which judges consider the laws and the evidence and make a decision.

Everybody expects the next case of the same time to have a similar outcome. This is good for judges, lawyers and the entities subject to the laws.

That is one reason I was so surprised at the outcome here.
