While the following comment can be assuring for those following the strict interpretation of the law (particularly as it pertains to case law), there appears to be no room in it IF a law might be deemed unconstitutional, especially considering recent SCOTUS "rulings" on Affordable Care Act (i.e. Obamacare) and Obergefell v. Hodges(same sex marriage).

"I further subscribe to the doctrine of stare decisis, and believe that it is a judge’s obligation to honor the previous decisions of higher courts (precedents/rule of/established/settled law))."
