I'm not interested in "intent". The supreme court isn't there to determine "intent". Their constitututional duty is to make sure nobody violates the constitution; Not to interpret the constitution; Not to define the constitution; Not to overrule the constitution; And not to allow blatant violations of the constitution such as the Patriot Act, Income Taxation, and a thousand other things.
The duties and powers of the supreme court and all parts of government is defined and limited by the constitution. They may not do anything that isn't specifically listed.
