Then the judicial system is tasked with case after case of having to discern the meaning of the law and how to interpret it legally within the confines of the state and federal constitutions.
I wish I had a dollar for every case I've reviewed where a judge had to interpret a poorly written(bad or ambiguous grammar) statute. Many of the judges got it wrong, probably intentionally in a few instances, and the decisions were later overturned, sometimes after the defendant had spent years in prison. And that's just the ones with happy endings.
