Stare Decisis

Jesse Doiron

August 21, 2022

Plaintiff begged us all consider,

And we did so in our way,

With unanimous opinion

His petition could not sway.

Thus, we moved to further matters, 

That would more legally apply  

To our established precedents,

Before deciding stones must fly.

Jesse Doiron spent 13 years overseas in countries where he often felt as if he were a “thing” that had human qualities but couldn’t communicate them. He teaches college in Texas, now, to people a third his age. He still feels, often, as if he is a “thing” that has human qualities but can’t communicate them.
