Generally, "court[s] should refrain from [expressing] dicta." State ex rel. Smith v. Carey, 112 A.2d 26, 28 (Del.1955). "[W]hen the Court goes beyond what is necessary to decide the case before it, it can only encourage the perception that it is pursuing its own notions of wise social policy, rather than adhering to its judicial role." United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 963, 104 S.Ct. 3405, 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984) (Stevens, J., concurring).
