This week's theme: terms from law.

stare decisis (STAYR-ee di-SY-sis) noun

The legal principle of following precedents in deciding a case, the idea
that future decisions of a court should follow the example set by the
prior decisions.

[Latin for "let the decision stand".]

-Anu Garg (words at wordsmith.org)

"'The court (and, I think, the country) loses when important precedent
is overruled without good reason, and there is no justification for
departure from our usual rule of stare decisis here,' Justice David H.
Souter wrote."

I really wanted to go to this, in stead, I wound up at a shitty ass show at schubas. I didn't even watch the show, I sat in the bar and drank and smoked until it was over. I wished that I had just walked across the street to Phyllis', rather than the other.
