I do not see an oxymoron in this. People talk about planned exercise, even when the plan for this week is to take a rest after a hard competition: the idea is that when one does initiate an exercise session, it is a planned one, not a spontaneous one. Moreover, a system of planned exercise may include periods of training spontaneously. There is no contradiction here.
Where there is contradiction is in this: all Republican Supreme Court nominees voted one way and all Democratic ones voted the other way - and it seems to be how 99% of the votes go. This does not sound like a court to me, let alone a supreme one. Sounds more like a mafia "court" where whichever boss can install the largest number of his people always has his way.
