Super Precedents? What Kind of Garbage Is This

Well, it's what Ace found the New York Times trying to peddle.

There are precedents and then there's everything else.

Let's nip this one in the bud: He [Luttig] was saying it was his opinion that, as a judge inferior to the Supreme Court and charged to apply its precedents as they intended, he thought the Court intended itself to esptablish "super-stare-decisis." Not that he believes in such a thing, necessarily. Just that it was his job to do what the Supreme Court, and that the then-current O'Connor-led goofballs on the Court intended to create this new weapon, a +5 Holy Precedent, double-damage vs. rightwing troglodytes.
