Read much about legal cases and you&#x27;ll quickly realize how little &quot;the letter&quot; of a law (or any other collection of words) really, unambiguously conveys.  Context is a necessary fallback in the interpretation of law just as it is in day-to-day conversation.<p>I haven&#x27;t read this document in detail, but from what&#x27;s quoted here it seems pretty obvious that the judge&#x27;s argument <i>isn&#x27;t</i> strong enough without reference to the law&#x27;s creators.  Its entirely plausible to imagine serious lawmakers making an AWA that <i>was</i> a &quot;mechanism for upending the separation of powers&quot;.  Only knowing the involvement of these same lawmakers (in part) in the law&#x27;s creation is this interpretation ruled out- &quot;orginalism&quot; certainly, but here justifiable.
