Are you now beginning to realize there is far more to determining the meaning of words in our Constitution than coming up with your "literal meaning"?

Nope. I am more convinced than ever that folks take plainly written words and add unneeded layers of complexity to them. But, I will concede that I would likely starve as a lawyer - let alone a judge.
This has nothing to do with lawyers and everything to do with adhering the meaning of words as they were understood when our Constitution was adopted, and precluding those who hold political power from attaching their own meanings to words in our Constitution.
Apparently you are comfortable with attaching your own meaning to words as they appear in our Constitution, even if they were not understood by our founders as you define them, which is exactly how our Constitution is now being subverted by those who hold political power.
Your sense of reasoning not only defies common sense, but the most fundamental rules of constitutional law.

Those who reject abiding by the intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was agree to, as those intentions and beliefs may be documented from historical records, wish to remove the anchor and rudder of our constitutional system so they may then be free to “interpret” the Constitution to mean whatever they wish it to mean.
