Very important. In general, judges are very reluctant to overturn a precedent, no matter how much they may disagree with it, or think it was poorly decided.
This is even more so with Conservative judges, by the way, which is why it is silly to worry that Roe v. Wade could be overturned. There are zero American legal scholars who think that is a possibility: the more Conservative a judge is, the less likely (s)he is to want to overturn a precedent, regardless of their opinion of the precedent. The only people who talk about the possibility are ones in a position to get money or votes from talking about it, and ones they have fooled.
