Sadly, I think you underestimate the creativity of the liberal majority on the Supreme Court. These five unelected lawyers decide what feels right to them first and only then craft a decision to make it work.
It is entirely possible for the Supreme Court to hold fast to two or more inherently contradictory positions at the same time.
This is true, but I can still see the argument being used and highlighting the absurdity of the court's rulings.
Bringing absurdity to the light of day is always a good thing.
