Meretricious

apparently attractive but in reality not having any value; tawdry (can be used on both physical and non-physical things)

The puerile, meretricious sophistry used by the right wing extremist judges is laughably absurd.
EVERYONE CAN SEE how shallow their “reasoning” is and how obviously their intentions have immediately come to pass.
