the most important case in which stare decisis was, I think we can all agree, entirely ignored...
there wasn't any "petition to re-argue", nor any re-argument. Simply the Cort announcing a different decision in a case they'd already decided.
That is simply false. I may not have used the term "petition to re-argue", but I forwarded a petition which presented different facts and alternative legal reasoning to the original decision re: 47RZ28, which the UC accepted. I find it hard to believe you don't remember this, but there you are: there was an original case, then the Government asked for the case to be re-heard on different evidence and a different legal principle.
"I think we can all agree" is a phrase often used by people who know what they're about to say is controversial but want to shift the burden of proving that to their opponents.
