"Essentially, there is now a super-majority of judges on the lower courts, as well as five Supreme Court justices (and sometimes John Roberts), who will look at the political outcome of an individual case first and backfill their “jurisprudence” to support that predetermined outcome. Thus the unelected branch of government now has the sole and final say over constitutional and statutory interpretation, even when it is clear that the judges are nakedly engaging in an illegal ad hoc constitutional convention. It should also be noted that even a ruling as radically divorced from statute as this one was supported by most of the GOP appointees on the panel."

To naively think that the same mentality of Watson on "interpretation" of a statute to fit a political view is not common would be like a horse w/ blinders on.
