There is no such thing anymore. The entire makeup of this court is a direct result of ignoring precedent, creating a new precedent, then ignoring that one as well. They flat out said in advance that they would, too. Then Roe v Wade is overturned and you think this court will care about precedent, even if it just set that precedent itself? No, they'll come up with a reason that VA and CA are different from TX. In fact, it's probably been drafted already.
