@PattyHanson That's not how the Court is to work, though.

It's not an issue of common sense. It's an issue of respecting the law, even when the law itself lacks common sense.

The US has democratic processes to shape the law for the public, and often enough the public for whatever reason ends up wanting laws that are just stupid and lacking in common sense.

The Court isn't to second guess democracy simply because the unaccountable individuals on the Court disagree with the sense of what we wanted.

It's about democracy and the law, not about common sense.
