The same thing that settles an argument between two men on the meaning of a Constitutional passage - the Constitution.

Surely you jest. Or have you taken up feeding us straight lines now?

The Constitution is as inert as the Bible. It just sits there. Men must look at the characters, organize them into words reflecting concepts and objects and imbue them with meaning.

The Constitution does not rule on cases about its meaning -- its official interpreters do.

Disagree. The Bible does not "just sit there." It is God-breathed. It is living, active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

its official interpreters do.

And how, praytell, should they do this?
