Actually, thank our lucky stars for latter day interpretations. I'm all for it. They tend to be more enlightend -- the elimination of women as property, the more recent elimination of justification for slavery, segregation, etc. A more or less elimination of warring between western religious factions. And a general reduction in western religions for lust for the power of the state.
These are all to the good, keep them coming.
Nevertheless, there are indeed "strict constructionists" who even harken to the horrors of the Old Testament as still applicable law. These people are scary, and many of them post on this forum.
