We convince people. Easier said than done, unfortunately.

The SCOTUS upheld slavery and segregation at one time so just because they interpret it one way, doesn't make it right. The 14th, for example, they gutted intentionally and with malice.

People need to learn history and hermeneutics.

The start is simple. Ask yourself one question... "Were the writers of the constitution trying to be cryptic and confusing or were they educated men who knew what they meant to say and said it?"

Then, read it.

Read each piece, each sentence or paragraph and ask yourself, "What does it say?"

When the plain sense makes sense, seek no other sense.

That's the start.
