The idea of precedent makes perfect sense. Predictable outcomes for the same fact patterns and consistent interpretations from judge to judge. The problem arises when you get naked partisans that get first crack at something that rule on what they want the law to be, not what it is.
A lot of things make perfect sense in a vacuum / simulation where everyone is assumed to be a rational actor, then fall apart when human corruption is introduced.
The law should be plain enough that no "precedent" interpretation is required, as the founding fathers intended.
