Look up “Penumbra Doctrine”
OK.
Penumbra doctrine is used to represent implied powers that arise from a specific rule, and extending the meaning of the rule into its periphery or penumbra. For example, privacy rights without government intervention is implied from First Amendment of the U.S. constitution.
So, the penumbra extends however far the (liberal) plaintiff needs to condemn the (conservative) defendant, is that the gist?
