Thank you. I will read it. One more question...because I am not an expert (probably don't even meet novice standards) I've heard the term "Case Law". Does a ruling in Ohio hold weight in other states, like NV for example?

Real case law is made at scotus,,, but it came from a state, thus the name, terry Vs. Ohio, now it applies to all states!
All the cases in my posts are scotus, they apply to all!

It could even w/o a SCOTUS case .... would hold more weight if NV is silent on this issue examined

A state court ruling only hold in that state.

A Federal District court ruling holds in that District and no others.

Courts in other states may take "judicial notice" of a ruling from another court in making a ruling, but the other court has no authority.

A US Supreme Court decision holds in the United States and all possessions (including embassies, consulates, military bases, etc).
