Their clerks read it?. 99% of the congresscritters and senators who voted for and against it did not read it. Most likely the bill authors have never read it,

TB,
are you sure their clerks have read it? I got the distinct impression that some of the justices' clerks hadn't read it either.

Don't know. Maybe they are just reading the briefs and assuming what they need to know about the law is in the briefs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So...my sister just discovered TV Tropes, and I did what I had to do, and now I feel kinda mean.
But I absolutely could not read her emails gushing about the site.
I kinda wish for a second that we had a more distant relationship, where she could have had time to enjoy the site, because lord knows there's no chance of me being able to sit on my hands.
Man, they're asking us to do some development to handle some big business changes that come into effect next week, but we've been trying to make these business changes for two years, and this has been coming down the pike for a couple months. Why are they working out today that we need to code for it? They could have, at least, told us this was a decent possibility so that we could be more prepared. Jesus. Everything they're suggesting right now us counter to all our architectural decisions that have been in place since I've been there.
I hate this. This is exactly where I look the most inflexible and difficult. I need to relax.

The courts have always been political. The idea of a court that just "calls balls and strikes" is laughable when you to Supreme court level. And for the most part it has been the most reactionary branch of government. We had decade or so that was an exception under the Warren court, but honestly, the Dred Scott decision is more typical. Dred Scott, corporate personhood, upholding Jim Crow for more than a century, striking down important parts of the New Deal, Bush Vs. Gore, Citizens United, that is typical of the history of the Supreme Court.
[Edit] Of cxourse the Warren court was political too - just a different politics.
