"Those who apply the rule to particular cases, must of necessity expound and interpret that rule."

I would think it is a matter of interpretation.:-)

Seriously, interpretations must be make but they should be regarding the application and not the meaning of the law or constitutional statement.

If those need interpretation, there is plenty that go to the heart of the writer.

Anything more to me is judicial activism and constitution writing via judicial fiat.

These are my opinions about it.

How say you?
