This argument is, I think, best embodied by the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore back in 2000, which showcases a group of Justices with little regard for principles, and their loyalty to their party.
The principles being a previous devotion to states' rights, that was tossed out the window to ensure the President his office, of course.
In this case, Judge Bates clearly shows that he is either ignorant of the law, or just doesn't care about it, and that he is also willing to ignore the hipocracy of his own actions in relation to a current rulign made to protect his political patrons.
