Judges are fallible. Actually, if you dig through the history of precedent surrounding any particular issue, you realize judges are incredibly fallible. There are stupid judges, corrupt judges, and judges that simply don't care that much.

For this reason, the argument of "no, the courts said otherwise" with regards to jurisprudence can be particularly frustrating.

when referring to multiple federal circuits and the supreme court, their result absolutely is the reality.

the more people bring these half baked cases in front of stupid judges, the more they keep crystallizing the reality.
