So, you are basically saying that any government official is free to interpret the Constitution as he see fit.

No, they take an oath to defend and protect it, and in order to do so, they must read the plain language and interpret it plainly without inserting their cultural, moral, or legal agenda. How hard is that? The Constitution does not mean anything a corrupt judge says it means - it means what it means.

Who gets the final say as to what the Constitution means, in your perfect system?
