Didn't set a precedent, can't be used as precedent. No difference. LOL, the lawyer speaks! What an idiot. They made no such statement. Nothing of the sort, nor COULD they make such a statement. Even the act of SAYING it might well set a precedent. God what a liar. First of 100 links I found: There is a legal argument for pushing Bush v. Gore aside. The majority opinion announced that the ruling was “limited to the present circumstances” and could not be cited as precedent. But many legal scholars insisted at the time that this assertion was itself dictum — the part of a legal opinion that is nonbinding — and illegitimate, because under the doctrine of stare decisis, courts cannot make rulings whose reasoning applies only to a single case. nytimes.com --------------- Great attempt at back pedaling, though... You go first.
