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.'

He was talking about the Roberts court, the most corrupt and damaging in
history.
