The Constitution and its “intents” are the job of the supreme court to determine. In other words, this is why they get the big bucks.

Do you say the same about Roe v Wade or the same sex marriage ruling? After all, it's their job and that's why they get the big bucks.

If you’re asking me to place an opinion of the acts of the supreme court, I can’t Constitutional law is about as fuzzy as a bad test pattern. I do have my own theories on Roe vs. Wade and the same sex ruling by the supreme court, but whether I agree with them or not, is immaterial. There has been running gun battles with the court based upon which party has the majority for over 100 years, probably longer. So you pick your battles wisely. And in a lot of cases, they will refuse to take the case and toss it back down the ladder like the voting problem in Florida in the Bush/Gore election.

I never said the supreme court is always right in my mind, but they are the highest court in the land and what they said can only be over ruled by a future supreme court or Constitutional amendment. Gives them cart blanche, doesn’t it.
