The phrase Stare Decisis comes from Latin and means "let the decision stand". It is a doctrine that allows judges to examine previous cases as examples to make decisions about new cases. Stare Decisis is closely connected to the idea of a precedent.
This means that if a Supreme Court has previously made a ruling on a similar case, it will use that precedent as a model for another case. However, following a precedent does not necessarily mean that all similar cases will be decided in the same way. Other factors, such as context or changes in societal views, can also influence whether or not a precedent will be followed.
One of the most talked about recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions was the April 2018 decision of Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The case was brought by Mark Janus, a child support specialist who worked for the state government in Illinois. He sued the union, saying he did not agree with its positions and should not be forced to pay fees to support its work.
By a 5-to-4 vote, the court ruled that government workers who choose not to join unions may not be required to help pay for collective bargaining.
This ruling overruled the court's 1977 decision in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, in which the court stated that forcing nonmembers to pay for a union's political activities violated the First Amendment; however, it was constitutional to require nonmembers to help pay for the union's collective bargaining efforts to prevent freeloading and ensure "labor peace." The five majority opinion justices, Justice Samuel A.
Alito Jr., Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., and Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, and Neil M. Gorsuch, claimed that the distinction between the two cases justified a departure Stare Decisis, and overruled the 40+ year-old precedent. Justice Elena Kagan wrote the dissent, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor.
