Question Torn six ways to Sunday

Any idea of the exact meaning of this expression?

Derivation? (How it came about?)

Examples (googling it),

Those claims have been torn six ways to Sunday by anyone who knows climate research and research terminology...

Throughout this affair, the judges themselves were torn six ways to Sunday, but in the end there's always this incredible undefinable reality that truth and light is...

I get the idea of being either confused or invalidated... But a good authoritative opinion will be appreciated!
