Topic 2.9
How does the ideology of Supreme Court justices impact their decision-making with regards to precedents?
Ideology only affects the decision-making of lower court judges, not Supreme Court justices
It has no impact on their decision-making regarding precedents and stare decisis
Justices must always strictly adhere to the principle of stare decisis, regardless of their ideology
It can influence their interpretation of the law and their approach to deciding cases
