That’s because most of the decisions are like this one: “hey, I think this law is being interpreted wrongly” and then the Court says “no idea how you read it like that, it says this”. As they say in the closing statement, “We reiterate that today’s decision addresses only the narrow question whether §1806(f ) displaces the state secrets privilege. Because we conclude that §1806(f ) does not have that effect under either party’s interpretation of the statute, we do not decide which interpretation is correct. Nor do we decide whether the Government’s evidence is privileged or whether the District Court was correct to dismiss respondents’ claims on the pleadings.” This is how most of them come down, and how most of them should come down: “Congress wrote it like this, if you want to change it, get Congress to pass a new law”.
