How does stare decisis affect decisions made by the supreme court?

it forces the court to explain, in writing, the legal justifications and reasoning behind its decisions.

it leads the court to tend to follow precedent so that the law remains consistent and predictable.

it allows the court to choose to hear only those cases that involve key constitutional questions.

it prevents the court from implementing or executing the law and limits its power to interpreting the law.

freedom of speech is also protected by the 1 amendment.

explanation:

here is pretty much what the 1st amendment says:

congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

the punishment for breaking the law would depend on the conditions or the seriousness of the law being broken, if he or she breaks the law while doing some great discovery or invention then it would classify as a scientific fraud. there are other words to describe the crime but scientific fraud would be the harshest one.
