"Not decide that its decimator to ban vegetables"

Should read

I see many judges not looking for the meaning of what is unclear in the law or even extending it the minimum necessary to make how it applies to a new situation clear but rather making up new legal ideas that are not in any way contained in the laws.

I have no argument with that.

Not decide that its decimator to ban vegetables but allow other food to be sold and so impose a ban on selling meat.

I agree with that. But I do think it's appropriate for the court to decide that tomatoes should be treated as vegetables for the purpose of this law given that most people think that they are vegetables, that they are used as vegetables, and that the lawmakers intended the law to cover tomatoes.
