Precedent-Based Legal Stagnation and Interpretive Bias
An investigation into how adherence to stare decisis can become a mechanism for reinforcing historical errors, effectively practicing institutional 'Liar's-Heir-Syndrome.'
Stare decisis is designed to provide consistency, but it often functions as an identity-defense for judicial history. When a precedent is based on a fundamental injustice (a lie), the legal system risks 'inheriting' that lie. The Powell-Rad Path™ identifies these as 'foundational glitches.'
