Cisco Systems, Inc. v. Doe · ¶104

The majority, however, nowhere mentions stare decisis. Indeed, the Court’s opinion does not even state the necessary consequence of what it decides today: that Sosa is overruled. Disturbingly, this is not the first time in recent years that the Court has been “willing to overrule precedent without even acknowledging it is doing so, much less providing any special justification.” Jones v. Mississippi, 593 U. S. 98, 144 (2021) (SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (describing the Court’s implicit overruling of Miller v. Ala bama, 567 U. S. 460 (2012), and Montgomery v. Louisiana, 577 U. S. 190 (2016)). “How low this Court’s respect for stare decisis has sunk.” 593 U. S., at 144.
