Just read my post, and think a quick illustration might help. I am in labor relations. There are laws which protect workers. Often when the interpretation of a worker-protection law bubbles up to my supreme court, one party is hoping to use the law to protect the worker, and the other party is hoping to use a twist in the law to protect the employer. The supreme court courteously listens to oral arguments, which make the case seem complicated. It strikes you as a good question, and a fair fight. The supreme court has less trouble with these than most folks. They listen courteously, they glance at the briefs, and they say:

"This law was enacted to protect workers. And that's how it will work."
