Interpretation allows its intent to be ignored.

The belief of an interpretation like that is to deny the foundation of
the constitution and 300 Yrs of established law.

Judges interpreting laws and case law has been a new development of the
last 100 years.

Then you haven't read Marbury v Madison

One of the singular most insidious power grabs in the history of
the Union. Acting on a significantly broad gloss on the terms of the
Constitution, it is the first example of the Justices legislating
from the bench.

Marbury v Madison created what Jefferson, himself, called 'the
despotism of an oligarchy.'

Marbury v Madison was an example of interpretation diverting from
both the text and the spirit of law to empower the court to act
beyond jurisdiction.

Thank you for the example.
