In legal decisions, invocation of "public policy" is a catch-all expression for the court to rule what it thinks is best for society.  Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote for a unanimous Supreme Court in criticizing this approach:<ref>''United States v. Rutherford'', 442 U.S. 544, 554-55 (1979)</ref>

:Under our constitutional framework, federal courts do not sit as councils of revision, empowered to rewrite legislation in accord with their own conceptions of prudent public policy. See ''Anderson v. Wilson'', 289 U.S. 20, 27 (1933). Only when a literal construction of a statute yields results so manifestly unreasonable that they could not fairly be attributed to congressional design will an exception to statutory language be judicially implied.
