> you'd find the court expressed sympathies with the intent of the rule
And you'd find such sentiments to be completely worthless, except insofar as they act as cover for a ruling on a technicality in favor of the same corporate interests that fund the politicians that appointed these judges.
Ruling on technicalities is their job. I don't like the outcome either, but they did their job and they did it well.
If we don’t want rulings based on technicalities, then don’t put technicalities into the law.
