Mr.

Chief Justice, honorable justices, our first submission is simple.

McDonald should be affirmed and the standard of reasonable and probable grounds to believe maintained.

This court plays a superintending role, which includes ending jurisprudential confusion.

The rule of law is undermined when lower courts inconsistently apply this court's precedence or prefer to apply the concurring or dissenting opinions found within them.

The integrity of the judicial hierarchy requires that the majority reasons be applied as a matter of vertical stare decisis.
