To Sassy’s point, when you read case after case in law school, especially those that involve Constitutional issues, after a short while you can pretty much predict how any particular Justice will rule, and even the probable reasoning he or she will use.

And there is very little that is black or white. Not even in the highly regulated fields.
I have to concur. I've often felt and have used such a lesson plan, that when teaching the constitution students should read at least 2 SCOTUS cases with the opinions of both the majority and minority. There is logic behind both, usually. (Exception IMO, the majority in Roe v Wade, but even there, the making up of law is obvious).

I'm not saying that both sides are equally logical, they're usually not, but a logic is there. There are reasons that there are the rare times that SCOTUS overrules its own decisions.
