The judges are supposed to interpret the law, not make it up. The constitution of the United States does not give judges the power to make law. They have, at least in some areas, and with some decisions effectively seized that power.

Stare decisis makes some sense but it shouldn't be an overriding principle. If the interpretation really was wrong it should be changed, but the principle is good to the extent it keeps frivolous changes, or frequent back and forth changes on important issues from happening.
