I hope this is an appropriate question for our list-serve. I have been
working for some time on a book on constitutional stare decisis for
Oxford University Press. There is at least one matter on which I would
appreciate guidance -- what the Framers -- or their generation -- said
about precedent as a source of constitutional meaning or about how much
respect the Court owed to its own constitutional decisions. I have begun
researching the question and have been assisted along by the way by, among
other things, Thomas Lee's fine article in the Vanderbilt Law Review on
the subject. If people know of good places for me to look to get this
information, I would appreciate hearing from them either in response to
this email on the list-serve or by separate communication. Many thanks.
