This section could be read to mean only the facts and application in cases would be judged under the law not that the law itself would judged.
Whose job is it to make that decision?

My take on it is: imperfect people make imperfect laws, imperfect judges interpret them, and this is working as designed, despite our instincts to build perfection. Perfection is not possible; we are human.
