I know this is futile of me, but I have to at least make the attempt.
There are several schools of thought when it comes to interpreting the constitution. They all have their advantages and disadvantages; their proponents and opponents. None is more "legitimate" than any other.
It is natural for people to prefer schools that agree with their opinions, but that does not make any particular school more or less legitimate.
If there were only one way to interpret the Constitution, we would not need a panel of judges.
It should be noted that even among Conservatives there are differing opinion on which school's method is appropriate. Just like there are differing opinions among Liberals. And of course us Moderates frequently disagree with either side's opinions.
