Proposer's summary and declarations
STARE DECISIS - Lat. "to stand by that which is decided." The principal that the precedent decisions are to be followed by the Judge.
To abide or adhere to decided cases. It is a general maxim that when a point has been settled by decision, it forms a precedent which is not afterwards to be departed from.
Debate
Clause 4 should disenfranchise the player who made the ruling in question, not the current judge. Or am I missing something? That way, rulings could be challenged after the judge that made them leaves office, say, if the precedent becomes a problem. Also, the way this proposal stands, a judge who felt strongly about an unpopular ruling he just made could immediately resign, and then he would have his vote against it.
