With regards to how to interpret the constitution, judicial interpretation is an important part of law. It's something you'd learn in a Constitutional Law course along with statutory interpretation. So I disagree with the notion that the constitution cannot, or should not, be interpreted. That being said, there are certain principles of interpretation that are more logical and make more sense than others, in particular "original intent theory." From what I gather, Abdel subscribes to this theory, even though he may not have articulated it.Anyways, I agree with him, in that the Constitution does limit the size & power of the federal government, and the majority of social programs in existence are unconstitutional - which is why most of them are contested in court on those grounds.
