Regarding reversal rates: If you are a conservative, and if theoretically, the Supreme Court were majority liberal, and thus ruled the second amendment doesn’t apply to individuals, would you be upset at a lower court conservative judge who ruled the second amendment does apply to the individual? In other words, would you be upset that the conservative judge was ignoring precedent? Would it matter to you what that judges rate of reversal was?
