I didn't say I don't think there are cases where the law is unclear or needs to be interpreted. I just don't think the law should be interpreted in to something it isn't. I see many judges not looking for the meaning of what is unclear in the law or even extending it the minimum necessary to make how it applies to a new situation clear but rather making up new legal ideas that are not in any way contained in the laws. If you have a city ordinance that you can't sell vegetables inside city limits without a license and somebody sells tomatoes, which are a fruit, technically, what do you do? That is a perfect case of something that needs to be interpreted. The law says no vegetables can be sold, the court has to determine if vegetables have been sold. Not decide that its decimator to ban vegetables but allow other food to be sold and so impose a ban on selling meat. Tim
