Best Answer

The role of a Supreme Court justice is to interpret the constitution, not make (or change) law or impose one's personal preferences or views. Therefore, upon examination of the constitution as it relates to a particular case, a justice may conclude that a previously held view is not constitutional. This is, of course, in an ideal system. Supreme Court justices are human.
