So, since the precedent has been set with the Dobbs ruling that judicial precedents don’t matter, why should any lower court take any past precedent into consideration when considering how to rule on a case?

I look forward to the day when a rogue rebel judge appointed by Obama or Biden overturns a previous Roberts court ruling using the example of Dobbs (or any other precedent ignored by the Roberts court) to establish that SCOTUS rulings are not law etched in stone binding lower courts, but only temporary political positions and subject reinterpretation at any time, by any judge.
