What the Roberts KKKourt does is start with the politically motivated outcome, and backfill any old bullshit as a hand waving excuse for their overtly partisan political activity.

They always do this when the question is one involving partisan politics. ALWAYS. They never start with data (facts, Constitution, laws, precedents) and reason their way to an answer.
