Don't you think at a certain point, a loophole in a poorly-written law can be too big for the courts to close? When does a judge go from upholding the spirit to assigning new meaning?
Yes, I do. This is why we have a tiered system. The judge interprets the facts of the case and if they apply the law incorrectly, a higher set of judges can overturn.
EDIT: Or Congress can get involved and change the law. Checks and balances.
