  It would be nonsensical for the court to be able to say “listen to me, not to him”.

  The court is not doing its duty

  IIUC, a member of the US military swears first to uphold the Constitution and second to follow orders. If an order is illegal, their duty is to disobey it. The judicial branch of the US government should do the same. If precedent is wrong, it should be called out and not be followed. The Supreme Court should not be the only level of the judicial branch allowed to recognize illegal actions - especially since they only get a chance to chime in when everyone below them has appealed and they choose to pay attention.

  lane sharing

  It's common in Europe and other parts of the world. If you ride safely and sanely, it reduces congestion at traffic lights and lowers the risk of inattentive drivers running into a stopped motorcycle from behind. Most of the lane sharing accidents are at high speeds or due to riders not paying attention. Here's one study that's not too old.

  Any actual soldier who committed a fraction of the things cops are reported to do every day would be court-martialed. Even in military actions, many of the alleged offences could be considered war crimes. But soldiers are trained to understand that.
