<br>The whole point of precedent is that a decision has already been made for the interpretation for a law. Further situations that are similar to the precedent refer back to the decision of the precedent. The precedent in this case has already established that the president does not get to arbitrarily invoke privilege. I'm not sure how clearer it could possibly be
No. A precedent acts as a guide in cases. Every case is different. The Supreme Court decides whether the precedent holds or it doesn’t. Otherwise Plessy would never have been reversed.
