| Your points and questions are reasonable. I happen to believe that the Courts do not have the authority (under Article III) to "interpret" the Constitution. They may interpret laws but they must use the Constitution as the basis for interpreting laws. This suggests to me that the Constitution has only one meaning, that this meaning is absolute, and that this meaning is exactly and only what those who wrote the document intended.
