The decision focuses on the Portal-To-Portal Act of 1947 which defines a workday that specifically excludes those activities "incidental" to an employee's primary responsibilities.

Personally I don't think that the current elections style of government scales very well. I'm not sure what the cure should be though. A more EU palimentry style might work, or more local control. I'm sure I've missed a few.
To be honest though, democracy will only fail if we stop trying to fix it.
