    I mean. There’s an entire Supreme Court dedicated to interpretting the USA’s original “law”, the Constitution. They recently reevaluated the meaning of Roe vs Wade. And each judge applies their own interpretation to laws in criminal cases, mostly bounded by prior rulings on the matter only to maintain consistency. Some times laws aren’t so cut and dry.
