I would add, one must start by reading it with the view that words mean what they mean according to ordinary meaning of words and provable intent of the authors, not whatever you want to twist them to to suit your purposes.
E.g., "shall not be infringed" does not mean "shall be infringed."
Or, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized," does not mean "There is a Constitutional right to abortion, or even to late-term and partial-birth abortions."
The left long seized on a principle of reading anything to mean anything they want, so merely getting them to read something does nothing.
Another example right now would be Trump's impeachment. Actual words of any law do not matter to the left. Only their goals matter.
Fundamentally, no one who seriously argues it's valid to read things differently than what they say has any business holding any legislative office or judicial position.
Infiltration of the educational system by leftists (one can reasonably say Communists) is the cause of this or at the least enabled and promoted it. McCarthy was completely correct in this. It is a highly fundamental problem that I think we do not pay enough attention to.
