Document Summary
Common law where judge is creating law =precedent. Stare decisis (staray decise es): similar cases decided similarly. Ambiguous: at federal level, congress incompetent and lazy. Plain meaning rule: interpreted in two way. New judge follows earlier judge if they agree. Case has to be ripe in order for it to be heard. Mark shady, he might breach contract, suspicion: Case has already been resolved or settled. If you"re a federal official, you can"t accept anything of value from other foreign governments or officials. Trump hasn"t really separated himself from his business. Hotel in dc where foreign officials stay. A ruling to tell the other party what they"re required to do. Non profit suing trump don"t want money, they want a declaration. Judges right up decision and it gets published somewhere (electronic/paper) Opinions publicly examined, but they tend to want to avoid embarrassment so that have to do a good job. Appeal court is saying you got it wrong.
