... the meaning of the Constitution is a matter of objective fact."

OK. I see.

No, I disagree. Granted, there are parts of the Constitution that are not subject to interpretation or opinion. But many areas are.

For example: The Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause, The Due Process Clause, The General Welfare Clause, The Commerce Clause, The Necessary and Proper Clause, etc. These are all subject to interpretation and are not objective fact.
