I'll venture that I think the average American could read the Constitution and come up with better, more commonsense interpretations than some interpretations that have been devised by the current or recent federal judiciaries, especially as regards the Commerce Clause and the 2nd Amendment. Heck I'll go one step further and guess that my Irish Wolfhound could come up with more sensible interpretations too.

I think the point was (and, frankly, your response just reinforces it) that what is a "good" interpretation or a "right" one isn't some objective standard. You will, of course, find them right if you agree with them.
